What is the 7-layer grant stacking methodology?

The 7-layer methodology includes: 1) Reflective Bounce (30% credit, typically $300,000), 2) Solar ITC (30%, $300,000), 3) Domestic Content (10%, $100,000), 4) Efficiency Deduction ($2.90-$5.81/sq ft, $145,250), 5) Rural Bonus (varies, $100,000), 6) Battery Credit (30%, $90,000), and 7) Utility Rebates (varies, $50,000). Total stack can exceed $1,085,250 for an average 25,000 sq ft school.

What are the three phases of energy independence implementation?

Phase 1: Building Envelope Optimization including cool roof membranes, R-30+ insulation systems, and thermal bridging elimination for 25% immediate consumption reduction. Phase 2: Mechanical Transformation with high-efficiency heat pump transitions, variable refrigerant flow systems, and smart building automation. Phase 3: Renewable Integration with optimized solar array design, 7-day battery backup systems, and grid independence capabilities.

What guarantees are provided with the service?

The service includes minimum grant savings or zero fee, assumption of compliance risk, 25-year roof warranties, and performance bonds on all contractors. The company maintains 4x redundancy on all compliance documentation for IRS audit protection.

We Capture Energy For Your School

By gathering generous grants from the government

$800,000 in unclaimed incentives per school.

Indiana nonprofit schools are sitting on an average of $800,000 in unclaimed energy incentives. The complexity of federal grant stacking keeps 97% of schools from accessing these funds.

97% of schools miss these funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still Have Questions? Contact Us

Why do 97% of schools miss these funds?

The complexity of federal grant programs requires specialized expertise. Most school grant writers capture only about 8% of available incentives because they apply for one program and stop. Our team averages 76% capture through multi-program integration.

What if we get audited?

We maintain 4x redundancy on all compliance documentation and assume compliance risk. When the IRS audits, you're protected.

Why start with reflective roofing instead of jumping straight to solar?

A cool roof membrane reduces surface temperature by up to 50°F, immediately cutting cooling costs. This makes your building more efficient before solar is installed—meaning your solar array can be smaller and your total grants larger. Pristine Industrial Roofing specializes in these high-performance systems.

Does our current roof warranty affect grant eligibility?

Proper documentation and warranty compliance are essential for grants. Understand what your warranty actually covers at YourWarrantySaysWhat.com.

Can our school actually generate revenue from this?

Yes. Once you achieve energy independence, excess capacity creates opportunities: EV charging stations, data center hosting, and community resilience hub designation.

Our school is in a rural area. Does that help?

Significantly. Rural designation multipliers add bonus funding that urban schools can't access.

How is this different from hiring a solar company?

Solar companies sell solar. We capture grants. Solar is just one layer of our methodology. Starting with solar alone leaves massive incentives on the table.

We got a cheaper quote from another contractor. Why should we pay more?

Cheaper isn't always better when it comes to roofing and grant compliance. Understand the true cost of cutting corners at YouReapWhatYouCheap.com, and see transparent pricing breakdowns at BigBeautifulRoofBill.com.
