Payson Police, Town Hall, and Fire Department solar installation

Government & Municipal

Cities, towns, and public-safety campuses — solar that returns to the taxpayer.

Municipalities now have a clear path to solar economics that used to be reserved for tax-paying entities: the federal direct-pay election. SunRenu has installed for the Town of Eloy and Payson's public-safety campus, and we know how to structure the procurement, financing, and bond-funded options.

Anchor client: Town of Eloy, City of Payson

Why this industry

What makes the math work for government & municipal.

Direct-pay election unlocks the ITC

Tax-exempt municipalities can now elect cash payment of the federal investment tax credit. Changes the math meaningfully.

Bond + cash-purchase options work

Many municipalities can self-fund through capital bonds or general funds, then route the ITC cash back in. We can also structure SSAs if cash-out is preferred.

Public-safety campuses run 24/7

Police, fire, dispatch — these loads never stop. Solar offsets baseload while storage adds resilience for outage scenarios.

Procurement support

We've responded to RFPs, helped author RFPs, and worked through state-procurement-contract pathways.
