More budget for programs.
Less for the utility.
Institutional solar and storage presented the way finance committees need it: 20–25 year cash-flow view, conservative assumptions, current incentive rules verified for your project, and a licensed contractor's name on the work.
We work at the pace of boards.
Executive director, business administrator, finance committee, facilities committee, sometimes the full board. We've sat in those meetings. Here's how we make them shorter.
A one-page financial summary your treasurer can read
Utility spend today, projected spend with solar and storage, capital and financing options, payback and 25-year net — with the assumptions listed, so questions get answered before they're asked.
What applies to a tax-exempt buyer right now
Federal rules now allow certain tax-exempt organizations to receive the value of clean-energy credits as a direct payment, but eligibility, timing and amounts have shifted with recent legislation. We verify current status for your project and put it in writing rather than pre-stating a number here.
Aging electrical, resilience, and a 25-year horizon
Many institutional buildings need electrical work anyway. Batteries can keep refrigeration, lighting and communications running when a facility serves as a community resource after a storm.
Any institution with a roof, a budget and a committee.
Churches and ministries, private and charter schools, museums, community centers, hospitals and clinics, YMCAs, food banks. Different missions, the same question: what does the building cost to run, and can that number come down for the next two decades?
Can a non-profit benefit from solar incentives?
Historically, tax-exempt organizations couldn't use investment tax credits directly. Recent federal law created a direct-payment path for certain eligible entities, and subsequent legislation changed eligibility windows and requirements. Because this drives the decision, we verify the current rules for your specific project and timing and provide it in writing — and we recommend review by your accountant or counsel.
How do institutions usually pay for this?
Capital budgets, designated gifts, loans, and in some cases third-party ownership arrangements. We lay out the options with real numbers so the finance committee can compare them side by side.
Will you present to our board?
Yes. In person or by video, with the one-page summary and the full assumptions behind it.
Who does the installation?
An independent, state-licensed Florida contractor. Islander Solar provides the technical advisory, design coordination and project management; the contractor performs the installation, electrical work and permitting.
