Corporate virtual power purchase agreements for offsite solar

Our offsite solar and corporate VPPA financing solutions are designed for large energy users seeking to scale their sustainability impact — without the capital burden or operational complexity.

Corporate VPPA and offsite solar solutions

Not every business has the physical space needed for an onsite solar system that can meet their ambitious sustainability goals. That’s where REC Solar comes in.

Our small utility-scale solar solutions are designed specifically to help large energy users expand their renewable energy portfolio and stabilize long-term energy pricing.

Greater flexibility and scalability

Managing multiple sites? Navigating property constraints? Anticipate significant growth? Our offsite solar solutions are flexible and designed to scale with your business, supporting even the most ambitious sustainability goals based on current and future energy needs.

Predictable energy costs

With a VPPA, you can hedge against escalating energy prices for grid-supplied energy in wholesale markets – a move that will help to stabilize long-term energy costs.

Accelerate your sustainability journey

Large energy users have ambitious climate goals. Offsite solar goes beyond the limits of your property, adding clean energy to the grid while advancing your path to carbon neutrality and emissions reduction.

How virtual power purchase agreements work

A Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) is more than just a contract—it’s a strategic financial tool that helps large energy users meet ambitious sustainability goals and stabilize energy prices for the long-term.

Clean energy is generated and sold to the grid

Our small utility-scale solar projects generate electricity at an offsite location that is sold into the wholesale power market. But the energy generated doesn’t flow directly to your facility. Instead, it is transmitted to the broader grid.

Your organization locks in a fixed price

Through a VPPA, you agree to purchase energy at a fixed price. Since no physical energy is delivered to a facility, the VPPA addresses price fluctuations and other market mechanisms specific to the transaction.

RECs are generated

For every megawatt-hour of clean energy generated, a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is created, which represents its environmental value. RECs may be able to contribute towards a broader emissions or carbon reduction strategy.

Your organization reaps the benefits

Through a VPPA, your organization is able to stabilize energy costs, support the growth of clean energy, and make measurable progress toward sustainability commitments.

We power the project. You drive the change.

At REC Solar, we own and operate the system — so you can focus on the impact. Through VPPAs and offsite solar solutions, we help your business reduce emissions, stabilize energy costs, and support local communities without the burden of ownership.

Community engagement

Our land origination team works with property owners nationwide to carefully identify and secure ideal project sites. From there, we actively engage with local communities to listen, learn, and ensure each project delivers real benefits while protecting the land and environment.

Project development

From environmental research to permitting, our development team handles the heavy lifting to ensure your project is fully approved and ready for construction.

We own the system

We take responsibility for the system for its entire life cycle, ensuring it drives consistent value for your business and long-term energy goals.

You own the impact

Your commitment drives measurable progress toward your sustainability goals — and stabilizes energy costs for years to come.
