PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy)
Through local governments, PACE offers a long-term financing tool supporting commercial property owners to initiate renewable and energy efficiency projects. Property owners receive 100% upfront funding for the upgrades on their properties. PACE terms are generally 10-25 years and payments are collected through city’s special assessment taxes. Since it involves city/county, lender and contractor, it is advisable to start the process early.
