Is Your Project Eligible?

We buy commercial solar projects 6+ years old across the Northeast—past the ITC recapture period. Most projects qualify.

Quick Check

Answer these 4 questions to verify eligibility

1

Is it 6+ years old?

Systems must be 6+ years old to ensure the 5-year Investment Tax Credit (ITC) recapture period has passed.

Why 6 years? Selling before the 5-year mark can trigger significant ITC recapture penalties for the seller. Our requirement protects you from this liability—you can sell with complete peace of mind.

2

Is it commercial scale?

We buy rooftop, ground-mount, and carport systems on commercial, industrial, or institutional properties.

Office buildings
Warehouses
Schools/institutions
Multi-family housing
Manufacturing facilities
Retail centers
Carport installations
Brownfield sites
Greenfield farms

Is it in the Northeast?

We operate in six Northeast states and Washington DC:

Do you own the solar equipment?

You must own the solar panels and equipment—not just the land or property they're on.

What We Don't Buy

To save you time—here's what doesn't qualify

Residential Single-Family Homes

We don't buy systems on individual houses. Commercial/industrial scale only.

Systems Under 6 Years Old

Systems still in the 5-year ITC recapture period can't be sold without triggering tax penalties.

Projects Outside the Northeast

We focus on NY, NJ, MA, MD, VT, DC, and PA. Elsewhere? Submit your project anyway—we're actively expanding into new markets.

Equipment You Don't Own

If someone else owns the solar panels and you pay them for electricity, we need to work with the equipment owner. Contact us if ownership is unclear.

Still Not Sure?

When in doubt, just submit your project. We review every submission personally and can work with unique situations.
