Clean energy, no capital wall.
We structure the money so the technology can flow. From power purchase agreements to operating leases and green loans, NexusCore designs financing that aligns repayments with the savings your system generates from day one.
The biggest barrier to energy independence is rarely technical. It is the upfront cost. NexusCore removes that wall by separating the decision to use clean energy from the decision to own the asset. Through a power purchase agreement you simply buy the electricity a solar and battery system produces on your site, at a contracted rate, while we or a finance partner own and maintain the hardware. You preserve capital, gain price certainty and start saving from the first billing cycle, without a large balance-sheet entry.
Different organisations need different structures, so we model several. An operating lease keeps the system off your balance sheet while you pay a fixed periodic fee. A green asset-finance loan suits those who want ownership and the full benefit of generation but prefer to spread the cost. A shared-savings agreement ties our return to your realised reduction, aligning incentives so we are motivated to keep the system performing at its peak.
How a PPA works
- We fund, install, own and maintain the solar and BESS assets on your site
- You pay only for the energy generated, at a rate fixed below grid retail
- Annual escalators are contracted transparently with no hidden steps
- Maintenance, monitoring and performance risk sit with us, not you
- Buy-out options let you take ownership at agreed milestones
Matching structure to strategy
Choosing between a PPA, a lease and a loan is a finance decision as much as an energy one, so we model each against your tax position, accounting treatment and appetite for ownership. A PPA maximises capital preservation and shifts performance risk away from you. A green loan captures the full long-term value of self-generation and any available incentives. We present the net-present-value and cash-flow profile of each side by side, so the choice is driven by clear numbers rather than sales pressure.
Storage and grid revenue in the model
Modern financing must account for more than panels. Battery storage adds demand-charge reduction, tariff arbitrage and the potential to earn from grid services and virtual power plant participation. We fold these revenue streams into the financing case where they apply, which can materially improve affordability. A system that looks marginal on solar self-consumption alone often becomes strongly positive once storage value and grid-service income are stacked into the cash flow.

Financing & PPAs questions
A PPA is a contract where we install and own a solar and storage system on your site, and you buy the electricity it produces at an agreed rate, usually below grid prices. You avoid upfront capital and maintenance responsibility while locking in predictable energy costs over the agreement term.
Generally a well-structured PPA is treated as an operating expense rather than a capital asset, keeping it off your balance sheet. Treatment depends on contract terms and current accounting standards, so we work alongside your finance team to confirm the right classification before you sign.
Yes. Most of our PPAs and leases include buy-out options at defined milestones, letting you take ownership once the asset is established. This gives you the capital-light start of a PPA with a clear path to full ownership and the long-term savings that brings.
Where eligible, we factor available federal and state incentives, certificates and rebates into the model. We never invent figures or guarantee specific amounts; instead we show the case both with and without incentives so your decision holds up even under conservative assumptions.
