Note: The US government recently removed the $16.5 million cap on SBA 504 Green Loans, ensuring more borrowers can access this funding to fuel their eco-friendly initiatives. Without the cap, Green Loan funding is now available for larger loans, including those for construction, acquisition, and renovation. The cap removal means there are no limits on the size of loans for each project and borrower.
The SBA Green Loan is a great opportunity for Solar Installers, SBA Loan Development Companies & Property Owners. Armed with a SBA-compliant energy modeling report, you can ensure that you and your clients can gain the necessary clearance to claim this loan.

QUALIFYING FACTORS:
To be eligible for the SBA 504 Green Loan, there are two primary avenues:
- Generating over 15% of your energy on-site, often through solar panels installed on rooftops, properties, or carports;
- Or constructing a new building or retrofitting an existing one to consume at least 10% less energy than your current usage. It’s crucial to clarify that the 10% reduction pertains specifically to energy consumption, not merely a decrease in utility costs.
