Solar Energy for Government Projects FAQs

Government agencies across the United States are choosing solar energy because it reduces electricity costs, improves energy efficiency, and supports long-term clean energy goals. Solar helps public facilities stabilize budgets by replacing volatile utility rates with predictable savings. 
Yes. Many municipalities and public institutions use a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to install solar panels with no upfront capital. Under a PPA, the organization pays only for the solar power the system produces, allowing predictable cost savings without a large initial investment. 
Absolutely. Many rural small businesses and agricultural producers already benefit from renewable energy projects, and local governments can too. Solar energy for government projects is scalable, making it a strong fit for both large cities and small towns.
Solar produces clean energy with no emissions. For government agencies, this helps meet sustainability goals, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and demonstrate environmental stewardship to the community.
Timelines vary based on project size, permitting requirements, and utility coordination. Most municipal solar projects move through evaluation, design, approval, and installation phases over several months. Kokosing Solar manages the entire process to keep projects on schedule. 
Agencies typically provide basic information such as building location, electricity bills, and site access. Kokosing Solar’s team handles solar system modeling, utility coordination, and financial analysis to determine the best approach for the project.

Solar lowers monthly energy bills and reduces long-term operational costs. With a properly sized solar energy system, public facilities can offset a large portion of their electricity consumption and reinvest those savings into other mission-critical services.

Solar is commonly used by city buildings, water treatment facilities, public works departments, parks and recreation facilities, county buildings, and school districts. Any building with steady daytime energy production can benefit from solar power. 

While government entities do not qualify for federal tax credits like the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), they can access savings through PPAs, state incentives, utility programs, and renewable energy certificates. A Kokosing Solar consultant can walk you through which incentives apply to your specific organization.

Yes. When paired with battery storage, solar can help public facilities maintain operations during outages and reduce dependence on the grid. This is especially valuable for facilities that provide essential public services.
