New Changes to the Commercial Loan for Energy Efficiency and Renewables (CLEER)

In case you missed it last month, we made some changes to our loan product. Contact our Participating Lenders at Ascentium Capital or Revere Bank for more information. (See their information below.):

CLEER can be used for projects that only have solar PV. There is no longer a requirement to include one Pepco measure with each project.
NEW: Solar PV-Only Installers are now eligible to be CLEER Authorized Contractors. (See below for how to become an Authorized Contractor.)
Up to 50% of the Pepco incentive for a project can be financed in the loan.
Nonprofits can get a break on the CLEER Program fee, down to as little as 0.99%. Work with a Participating CLEER Lender to secure.
Building Tune-Ups are eligible for CLEER. While we have a 15% target for energy savings, we realize this is not always possible with the Building Tune-Up. For that reason, we will accept this Pepco prescriptive measure without the need to reach the 15% energy savings target.

Become an Authorized Contractor!
Offer Your Customers the Benefits of CLEER

The process is easy and it costs nothing.

Are you already a Pepco-approved Service Provider with commercial customers?
NEW!! Or are you a Solar PV Installer?

Follow this simple step to be added to the CLEER Authorized Contractor list:

Sign our Contractor Agreement and provide the required documentation.

You can find more information on becoming an authorized contractor on our website, HERE.

Then, before you submit a project:

Take a one-hour training on our CLEER Program and its processes.
Meet any CLEER Participating Lender requirements.

Contact Our Participating Lenders
to use our CLEER loan

We work through two lender partners to offer CLEER loans. Please feel free to contact them with any questions you might have about how CLEER could work for your clients and customers.
