What is CPACE

A smarter way to finance commercial improvements

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (CPACE) is a financing mechanism that allows commercial property owners to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements through a long-term, fixed-rate assessment on their property.

Unlike traditional loans, CPACE financing requires no personal guarantees, doesn't appear on your balance sheet as debt, and can be repaid over terms of up to 30 years. It can be used for solar installations, HVAC upgrades, roofing, lighting, and more — on both new developments and existing buildings.

✦
No personal guarantees
CPACE is secured by a property assessment, not a personal guarantee — keeping your personal assets protected.
◈
Long-term, fixed-rate
Finance improvements over up to 30 years at a fixed rate, improving cash flow on your project.
⬡
Stackable with other financing
CPACE can be layered with traditional debt, equity, and other capital sources to optimize your capital stack.
◎
New construction & retrofits
Applicable to ground-up developments and existing buildings undergoing energy upgrades.
◇
100% financing, no down payment
CPACE can cover 100% of eligible project costs — no down payment required, preserving your capital for other uses.
