Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

The amount of sunlight hitting the earth in just one minute is enough to meet the world’s energy needs for an entire year. Sunlight is the cheapest, most abundant renewable energy source available, and climate change concerns are creating high-velocity growth in the solar market  In 2006, the global solar energy market was estimated to be $15.6 billion.  Encouraged by government and utility incentives and rebates, the solar energy market is expected to grow to $69.3 billion by 2016.

In the U.S., more than fifteen states have initiated solar energy programs to help consumers, businesses, non-profits and public sector agencies adopt solar energy. The solar energy systems being built generate electricity that can offset peak load requirements and reduce fossil fuel-based grid electricity and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions.

We work with businesses, non-profits and public-sector entities to finance, own and operate solar energy systems.

BCP has the ability to maximize all federal and state tax incentives, rebates and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) in a financial model that provides electrical power to clients through Power Purchase Agreements (PPA’s).

The fundamentals are sound for continued industry growth and outstanding returns on investment due to fossil energy resource constraints, the continued worldwide growth of energy consumption, global warming concerns, and political regulations and constraints for certain industry sectors such as coal-fired plants, oil refineries and nuclear power.
