LSI HOLDINGS, LLC 

About LSI Holdings, LLC

LSI Holdings, LLC is a national developer of renewable-energy projects built on a proprietary barter-for-solar model used to deliver solar, storage, and efficiency upgrades to a wide range of commercial clients. Our platform enables businesses, nonprofits, and property owners to convert non-cash value—such as room nights, tuition credits, lease value, service credits, or other tradeable economic benefits—into fully financed clean-energy systems.

Our mission is simple: unlock solar adoption for clients who want the financial and environmental benefits of renewable energy but prefer to deploy non-cash assets instead of capital.

A Proprietary Barter Model — Professionally Validated

LSI’s barter structure has been reviewed, vetted, and supported by leading national firms:

Ryan, LLC – Provided tax analysis validating LSI’s income-shifting concepts, FMV methodologies, and the treatment of barter transactions for renewable-energy cost basis and MACRS depreciation.

Quarles & Brady LLP – Delivered legal opinions confirming that the barter-based investment and financing approach complies with IRS rules, the Inflation Reduction Act, and applicable tax-credit guidance under §§48 and 50.

Hub International – Developed insurance solutions that cover IRS challenge risk on both tax-credit and income-allocation components, giving investors institutional-grade protection.

This combined validation provides clients and investors with transparent, defensible, and compliant support for every major pillar of the structure.

Applications Across Multiple Industries

While LSI is leading the largest hotel-based solar initiative in the United States, the same barter model applies across many sectors, including:

• Hospitality – Converting room-night value into rooftop/carport solar or solar-plus-storage assets.

• Education & Nonprofit – Bartering tuition credits or fee waivers to fund solar without cash outlay.

• Retail & Shopping Centers – Trading long-term lease value for bill-offsetting solar + BESS systems.

• Industrial & Commercial – Exchanging inventory credits, service credits, or operational value for onsite generation.

In each case, the client transforms an existing non-cash economic asset into reduced utility expenses, increased property value, and long-term clean-energy savings.

Transparent, Defensible, and Secure

The barter model itself is proprietary, but every component—valuation, tax treatment, legal structure, and risk management—is supported by independent third-party experts, ensuring external validation and institutional-level comfort.

Stakeholders are encouraged to rely on the published opinions, analyses, and risk-coverage solutions provided by Ryan, Quarles & Brady, and Hub International, which collectively confirm that LSI’s structure meets the highest standards of tax, legal, and compliance integrity.
