Financial Structures
Financial Structures
GreenWell Energy offers multiple financial models to meet the unique goals of commercial property owners. Whether you’re looking to earn passive lease income, reduce tenant utility costs, or take advantage of renewable energy tax incentives, we’ll structure the project in a way that aligns with your financial and operational strategy.
Site Leases
With a site lease, GreenWell installs and owns the system on your property—either on rooftops, parking lots, or open space.
- No upfront costs
- Steady, long-term lease payments to you
- We handle all permitting, installation, maintenance, and monitoring
- Ideal for owners who want passive income without the complexity of ownership
- Tax credits are retained by GreenWell
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
In a PPA, GreenWell owns and operates the system, and you or your tenants purchase the electricity it generates at a discounted, fixed rate over time.
- No capex required
- You or your tenants benefit from reduced electricity costs
- Long-term energy pricing protection
- All operational responsibility remains with GreenWell
- Tax credits are retained by GreenWell
Direct Ownership / Financing
For owners who want to retain the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), MACRS depreciation, and other available incentives, we offer financed ownership structures.
- You own the system and receive 100% of eligible tax benefits
- Financing is secured via a UCC-1 filing on the equipment, not the property
- Option to pair with performance guarantees and O&M services from GreenWell
- Ideal for groups with tax appetite or capital deployment goals
Timeline & Expectations
Each project timeline depends on factors like permitting jurisdiction, utility approvals, and roof condition—but here’s a general breakdown:
Phase | What Happens |
Week 1–2 | Intro call + portfolio submission |
Week 2–4 | Site screening, incentive modeling, and structure selection (lease, PPA, etc.) |
Week 4–6 | Property inspections + final proposal |
Week 6–8+ | Contract signing + lender/HOA approvals |
Month 2–3 | Permitting + procurement |
Month 3–4 | Roof replacement (if needed) |
Month 4–5 | System installation + tenant enrollment (if applicable) |
Month 5+ | Monitoring, lease/PPA billing, or energy savings commence |
From initial contact to power-on, GreenWell Energy handles every detail. Our goal is to make the process as simple, flexible, and financially compelling as possible—no matter which structure you choose.
