Frequently Asked Questions
During the first 3 years, investors cover operating and maintenance costs (approximately $50K-$75K per year). The solar farm is constructed and begins generating revenue during this period. After Year 3, 100% of the revenue flows directly to investors for the remaining 25+ years of the project lifetime. This structure minimizes upfront capital requirements while maximizing long-term returns.
Revenue is secured through 25-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with fixed pricing. These contracts are backed by utility companies or corporate buyers. Additionally, Maryland's Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) provide additional guaranteed income. The equipment comes with 25-year performance warranties from tier-1 manufacturers, ensuring consistent energy production.
Investors benefit from a 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) worth $1.8M-$2.4M, accelerated depreciation (MACRS) allowing 5-year cost recovery, and Maryland state incentives including property tax exemptions on solar equipment. Total tax benefits can reach $2.5M-$3.5M, dramatically reducing the effective investment amount.
Key risks include technology failure (mitigated by tier-1 warranties), weather variability (addressed through revenue insurance), and policy changes (grandfathered protections in place). The project includes comprehensive insurance, professional O&M contractors, and conservative financial projections to protect investor returns. Historical data shows solar farms consistently meet or exceed performance expectations.
Site preparation begins Q2 2026, with construction starting Q4 2026. Commercial operation is targeted for Q2 2027. The project timeline includes 3 months for permitting, 2 months for procurement, 4-5 months for construction, and 1 month for commissioning. All permits and grid interconnection agreements are in progress.
