Municipal & Schools

VALTA takes pride in helping communities participate in reducing the carbon footprint while also receiving long term financial savings through solar energy.

How Can Municipalities Benefit from Solar Energy?
Solar energy savings can come from arrays placed on schools, libraries, parking garages, municipal buildings, first responder buildings, landfills, water treatment plants, parking lots and vacant land.

A few ways municipalities can benefit from solar energy are:

  • Being a distributed energy source, solar energy has the greatest financial advantage in applications where the electricity being produced can be used directly by the project host (or virtually net-metered) whereas utility-scale projects have to compete with more affordable forms of centralized electrical generation.
  • Financial savings is always the goal and VALTA will always strive to maximize the greatest savings with the available space. This could be a savings up to tens of thousands of dollars annually. Over the lifetime of the system, 20-30 years, that number adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars with that money going straight to the bottom line with no investment expenditure on your part.
  • Providing a cleaner future and cleaner town or city by reducing the carbon footprint is a benefit to everyone.

Schools
Schools are always in need of extra financial resources allowing more flexibility in the budget for education. All too often, the problem is finding extra funds.

VALTA will provide solar electricity for you without making cuts anywhere, without the tedious task of writing a grant and without organizing a fundraiser. VALTA will start saving you money right away with no upfront costs. Using a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a solar installation dedicated to your school can save a significant amount of money in the first year. That is money that will go back into serving students while allowing much needed updates to the school’s infrastructure.

VALTA takes pride in knowing that solar installation can save a program, teacher’s job and offer more services by reducing energy costs.

Landfills
Landfills can be an eyesore for any town or city. VALTA can convert those hidden landfills into a financial gain for your community. At VALTA, we use non-grounded penetrating technology to mount solar installations on capped landfills. Combine that with lots of practically unusable open space and that makes landfills the perfect fit for solar applications. Start investing in your landfill and give yourself the opportunity to save your town money.

VALTA’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
With VALTA’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) you can reduce the heavy cost of energy and offer your company a savings up to 20% or more per location with no capital outlay or cost for the duration of the term. This type of savings will add up, benefiting you and the environment.

Solar With No Upfront Capital Cost
VALTA utilizes Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) that allows you to obtain your green energy objectives and realize substantial savings with no capital outlay. The relationship is especially beneficial for schools which do not have the ability to monetize current tax credits. The PPA allows for significant investments with only an obligation to purchase the electricity generated at a reduced, fixed rate, for the term of the PPA.

Benefits of a Power Purchase Agreement

  • No upfront capital costs
  • Savings start immediately after installation becomes operational
  • Fixed rate over 20 years so you know exactly how much you will be saving

Rooftop “Solar + New Roof”
The option of receiving a new roof, along with adding a rooftop solar array, financed through the same Property PPA structure, eliminates one of the largest barriers faced when considering solar energy. VALTA installs, maintains, and warranties the entire rooftop system, charging only for the solar power produced. No money down and gain overall savings.
