“Tax equity is a way sophisticated investors compound alpha faster.”

Renewable Energy Assets.
Greater Potential.

Tax equity may boost returns for certain sophisticated investors’ portfolios.

Fairtide helps investors acquire solar and energy storage real assets. These assets generate tax credits and depreciation deductions from the government, and earn cash from selling energy services to homeowners and businesses. These assets may also be eligible for ancillary revenues from the sale of environmental attributes and energy services to utility system operators.

Investors monetize these tax benefits by using them to reduce their federal and state tax liabilities.

    Tax Credits, Depreciation, and Cash

    Ownership of the solar and battery assets yields value through federal and state tax benefits—tax credits that reduce taxes paid and depreciation deductions that reduce taxable income—plus cash from customer payments.

    Timely Benefits

    Most of solar projects’ tax benefits are created in the first year of investment, delivering benefits when investors are likely to need them.

A Winning Solution

Fairtide’s solar strategy seeks to deliver benefits to homeowners, solar companies, and investors.

    Energy customers can save

    Generally, homeowners and businesses lower their energy bills by using a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)1, which is an attractive alternative to purchasing the solar system outright.

    Solar companies can grow

    Because selling power is easier than selling hardware, the PPA helps expand the solar market.2

    Investors can gain

    Investors can earn cash and tax benefits. While tax credits and depreciation have little value to most Americans—87% of whom take the standard deduction3—they have great value to qualifying taxable investors.

  1. Using the PPA, SunRun has helped customers save approximately $1.3B according to the “SunRun 2023 Impact Report.
