C-PACE Lending

Providing Capital for Sustainable Upgrades

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Lending, or “C-PACE” for short, provides loans to business owners to install energy efficient upgrades to their commercial buildings. 

The C-PACE program is run on a state-by-state basis, with more than 37 states currently enrolled in PACE lending. Sunrise Banks provides C-PACE  loans to Minnesota businesses looking to implement sustainable building renovations and energy efficient upgrades, including solar panels, high-efficiency lighting, electric car charging ports and more. 

A C-PACE loan is beneficial for commercial building owners because it incentivizes purchasing environmentally-friendly infrastructure that doesn’t emit greenhouse gasses

C-PACE lending is paid back through property taxes and allows business owners to increase their cash flow thanks to energy savings.
