| Wow, those are all amazing questions. We are going to structure the investment so that your returns will be post tax-equity and post-depreciation. We would be opening up a can of worms if each retail investor's return were dependent on their particular tax situation (although we are now working with accredited investors who are availing themselves of MACERS and ITC). We could never guarantee any amount of generation since this is an equity investment, but to generate 1K worth of power on a facility that returned 7.25% would require about a 14K investment. Of course, if you really wanted to get technical, you would also incorporate the dirtiness of the grid you were selling to into your equation. I hope to one day build those types of tools, too. For sure, if you can build rooftop solar or use some sort of community solar arrangement, you should do that first before considering Legends Solar - it will likely have a strong financial benefit. But you can only offset as much as you consume using those tools, so if you still have an appetite or would like to offset your non-utility consumption, you might still consider us. For people who live in the city or who rent and don't have access to those tools, or people who like a good product and just want to understand what they actually own through their investment, you might consider us sooner. Sorry I can't answer with more detail - I really love quantifying and contextualizing the carbon you'll offset and financial returns you can earn in detail, but I'll need to break out my spreadsheets to really get into it. |
