20-unit apartment building in Colorado
Figures use Colorado averages and a 5% cap rate. Use the calculator below for your specific building. Sol Country does not provide tax or financial advice — consult a qualified tax professional.
Run your building's
numbers.
Enter your building details. The calculator uses real Colorado utility data, current Greentech Renewables Denver trade pricing, and the current Section 48 commercial tax credit structure.
Approximately how many units have a balcony, patio, or south/east/west facing outdoor space?
Is your building in a low-income census tract or federally designated low-income community?
This helps estimate how quickly you can absorb the tax credit.

The Section 48 credit —
what it covers.
Most property owners know the residential solar credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025. The commercial Section 48 credit is entirely separate — and still fully available for rental properties through December 31, 2027.
Section 25D: Homeowner purchases. Expired.
Section 48: Business and rental property. Still available at 30%.
Projects beginning after July 4, 2026 may qualify only for the 6% base rate. Confirm timeline with a tax professional before committing to a start date.
Four reasons building owners
are moving now.
Your tenants already have the right
Colorado HB26-1007 gives tenants the legal right to install balcony solar without your approval starting January 1, 2027. A building program means you control the installation quality, aesthetics, and timing — before tenants act individually.
One order. One credit. One invoice.
Sol Country coordinates with Greentech Renewables Denver for bulk fulfillment across all units. One purchase order. One Section 48 credit claim. No per-unit logistics overhead.
Solar is now a leasing advantage
78% of renters say energy costs influence housing decisions. Solar-equipped buildings show lower vacancy and stronger tenant retention. Sol Country properties receive a co-branded 'Large Scale Solar' designation for listings and marketing.
Community solar for buildings that don't qualify
Not every unit has usable outdoor space. For buildings where individual kits don't work, Sol Country can coordinate a building-wide community solar subscription — 5–15% bill savings for all tenants, no installation.
What Sol Country
handles for you.
Four parts of the program your team doesn't have to build — so you can focus on the building, not the rollout.
Qualified lead generation
Property managers who have already run the ROI calculator — so every conversation starts with real numbers, not a cold pitch.
Section 48 education
Most property managers don't know about the 30% commercial credit. We translate the tax code into plain English and a project timeline.
Greentech coordination
One call with Greentech Renewables Denver instead of multiple contractor bids. Bulk pricing, one purchase order, one credit claim.
Ongoing tenant management
The waitlist, opt-in flow, and tenant communication tools — so building owners aren't fielding individual installation questions.

Frequently asked
questions.
Sol Country's Large Scale Solar program covers any multi-unit building installation — from 5 units to 500+. It's not utility-scale solar (that's hundreds of megawatts and requires entirely different infrastructure). Large Scale Solar at Sol Country means coordinating certified plug-in solar kits across multiple residential units simultaneously, with bulk pricing from Greentech Renewables Denver and a single Section 48 commercial tax credit claim for the building owner.
