Who we are ?
Why Work with Sunpin Solar?
Founded in 2012, Sunpin Solar has quickly become a leader in the utility-scale solar industry. Recently named one of the Top Five Solar Companies in the United States, our team of forward-thinking and experienced experts have the confidence and ability to make impossible projects possible.
Sunpin Solar prides itself on the holistic approach we take when it comes to solar development. At Sunpin Solar, our shared values include:

Sunpin Solar’s first step in any new relationship is to approach it with care. Caring about what you do is the foundation of a strong business model. We love what we do and want to showcase how beneficial it is for everyone to adopt renewable energy.

Energy Buyer
Savings and Sustainability
As prices for solar panels continue to decrease, commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations are looking to power their operations with solar energy in order to save on energy costs, stabilize electricity prices, reduce their carbon footprint, and achieve sustainability goals. Sunpin Solar is your reliable solar energy partner, with the expertise to provide you with cost-effective clean energy that powers both your facility and your bottom line.
Whether your site has the capacity to run its own solar farm or you purchase solar power from Sunpin, you’ll realize savings from day-one with no initial capital outlay while reducing your organization’s carbon footprint.
A Low-Cost Energy Solution, Whether On- or Off-Site
Sunpin Solar is a leading commercial and utility-scale solar development company in North America. If your facility has the capacity, we will partner with you to build an on-site solar array that can not only meet but exceed your energy needs, allowing you to increase your bottom line by reducing energy costs and providing a revenue stream through the sale of any excess power generated. Not all facilities have the acreage or access to sunlight necessary for an onsite facility. If building an installation at your facility is not possible because of space constraints or structural issues, or if you use more energy than an onsite installation can provide, a remote or “virtual” Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Sunpin is a great option.
Either way, switching to solar energy is a win-win proposition for your organization:
No capital outlay
Sunpin assumes all your solar energy development costs, from planning to permitting, from construction to maintenance and operations
Instant savings
You’ll immediately notice an electricity bill reduction from 5-20%
Easy budgeting
Long-term contracted pricing helps you to manage and contain costs
Environmental responsibility
You’ll meet your sustainability goals—and be known as a clean energy leader in your community

Investor
Invest in Profitability and Sustainability
Sunpin Solar is a financially strong, long-term solar project developer and energy asset owner, with a superb track record of project execution. We not only develop but also retain ownership and operational execution with our partners. We actively work with hundreds of origination partners across the country to provide development and financial support for dozens of solar projects each month. We also work directly with host customers interested in going solar via a virtual Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
A Market of Growth and Opportunity
The solar market provides an excellent investment for investors seeking compelling risk-adjusted returns. In the past 5 years, institutional investors seeking above-market returns have invested tens of billions in these assets. The solar asset class continues to grow and provide excellent ROI’s:
- The rate of solar installations increased twentyfold from 2011 to 2015
- In 2015, solar projects accounted for a full quarter of all electricity generation capacity placed into service in the U.S. (U.S. Energy Information Administration)
- In the first quarter of 2016, 64% of all new U.S. electric generating capacity came from solar (SEIA / GTM 2016 Q2 Solar Market Insight)
Given this growth, many market observers expect solar to play a core role in the country’s energy portfolio. Sunpin offers low-risk investment opportunities to tax equity partners interested in reaping the tax benefits of solar projects as well as the opportunity for investors to purchase turnkey, shovel-ready solar projects.
The Solar Tax Equity Investment
Congress has set the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for eligible solar projects at 30%. The ITC was renewed in December 2015 at 30% through 2019. Starting in 2020 the ITC is reduced to 26%, in 2021 is reduced to 22% and thereafter at 10%. Investment returns for solar tax equity investors are often superior to other tax-advantaged investments. Solar tax equity investors
- Receive large internal initial ROI, with up to 85% of initial capital outlay returned in year one
- Reap depreciation associated with the asset
- Sow operational cash flows over the life of the investment
- Benefit from an exit payment when its interests in the partnership are divested
