If you expect a significant 2026 federal tax liability, now is the time to understand your options, consult your professional advisors, and determine whether a qualifying solar ownership strategy deserves further consideration.
Understand how the KotaStrat solar ownership program works, what may qualify, and which requirements and risks should be reviewed with your professional advisors.
This simplified example illustrates the mechanics described in the KotaStrat Solar Depreciation Program. Actual tax and financial results will vary.
Illustrative $100,000 Project
Initial cash contribution, approximately 20%: $20,000
Potential proceeds returned after ITC sale: $5,000
Illustrative net cash invested: $15,000
Potential first year depreciation, approximately 75%: $75,000
Illustrative tax savings at a 37% tax rate: $27,750
Important Context
Financing may allow a purchaser to own a larger qualifying project without paying the entire purchase price in cash.
The depreciation amount, ability to use the deduction, and resulting tax savings depend on the purchaser’s circumstances and satisfaction of applicable requirements.
Illustrative example only. Tax benefits and financial results are not guaranteed. Consult your own CPA, attorney, and financial advisors.
The webinar explains each stage of the structure, from forming the purchaser’s LLC through installation, tax credit transfer, potential depreciation, revenue sharing, and future exit options.
1. Form and Own
A single member LLC is established to purchase and own the BIPV system.
5. Transfer the Tax Credits
Generated ITC credits are sold to institutional purchasers and the proceeds are used within the program structure.
2. Make the Initial Contribution
The purchaser contributes approximately 20% toward the qualifying project.
6. Receive Potential Depreciation
Eligible purchasers may receive depreciation associated with the qualifying project, subject to their circumstances and applicable requirements.
3. Finance the Remaining Portion
A qualified commercial lender finances the balance through nonrecourse financing without requiring a personal guarantee.
7. Participate in Potential Revenue
After operating expenses and financing obligations, remaining available revenue may be shared under the applicable agreements.
4. Install and Place in Service
The BIPV system is installed at a participating self storage facility and becomes part of its operating infrastructure.
8. Evaluate Future Options
After the applicable five year compliance period, potential sale, assignment, retention, or donation options may be considered.

Tax benefits are not guaranteed and depend upon each purchaser’s individual circumstances, applicable law, and satisfaction of all requirements. Material participation may be required to use losses or deductions against active or nonpassive income. Solar asset ownership involves risk, including possible loss of some or all invested capital. Nonrecourse financing and the absence of a personal guarantee do not eliminate investment risk. Prospective purchasers should consult their own CPA, tax advisor, attorney, and other professional advisors and conduct independent due diligence before proceeding.
