C-PACE offers long-term, fixed-rate financing for energy <br />efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation upgrades to commercial <br />properties. Repayment occurs through a special assessment on the property tax bill, <br />aligning with the useful life of the improvements—often up to 20 or 30 years.
