Frequently asked questions
How does Section 48E Direct Pay work for an Ohio C&I project?
Section 48E delivers 30% of qualified solar project costs as a direct IRS payment for tax-exempt Ohio entities — no corporate tax liability required. It stacks with Ohio SREC-II revenue and AEP Ohio / FirstEnergy rate-lock.
What is the Ohio SREC-II (AEPS) program?
Ohio’s in-state Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC-II) program under the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard generates tradeable revenue from your system’s certified solar output.
How does Ohio’s property tax exemption (ORC §5715.27) apply?
Under Ohio Revised Code §5715.27, the full installed value of your solar asset is excluded from county real-property tax — no recurring ad-valorem levy on panels or inverters.
Can an Ohio C&I customer lock an AEP Ohio or FirstEnergy commercial rate?
Yes — lock a 12 or 24-month fixed commercial supply rate via our AEP Ohio or FirstEnergy (Ohio Edison / Illuminating / Toledo Edison) brokerage desk, insulated from PJM spot-price spikes.
Which Ohio utility territories does PangeaOS serve?
PangeaOS serves AEP Ohio, FirstEnergy (Ohio Edison / Illuminating / Toledo Edison), and Duke Energy Ohio service territories across Ohio, plus other OH utility co-op regions.
