What can be done to increase a SIR that is less than 1.0?

There are many factors that can be adjusted, including cost, anticipated energy production, the potential use of tax credits, MACRS depreciation, and utility incentives. In addition, a property owner can directly invest in a project to reduce the financed amount and thereby increase the SIR. The program administrator may be able to model different scenarios to find one that will appeal to the property owner and the mortgage holder.
