Boost Your Bottom Line with Commercial Solar
Businesses with goals of utilizing renewable energy, hedging electricity costs, and reducing operational expenses are looking to commercial solar. There is no one-size-fits-all, plug-and-play solar solution. Different goals, different assets, and different finances all play into how going solar can make your business more profitable.
Solar Energy Savings
Are you tired of sky-high electrical bills that just keep climbing higher and higher? If so you’re not alone, and it’s why more and more and more businesses are switching to solar.
Not only can our high-efficiency solar panels help lower and potentially even eliminate your monthly electricity bills, but sometimes they can even provide enough
electrical generation for you to sell some of the excess electricity back to the grid!
Solar Tax Incentives
We know that the initial cost of installing solar panels on your building can be a little high, but fortunately the government offers numerous tax incentives that can help you offset that cost in the very first year!
The solar investment tax credits help offset the installation cost of the solar equipment, and when you factor in just how much of a tax credit you get it makes a
huge difference
to your bottom line!
If you’re interested in how the
investment tax credit (ITC) can help offset the installation costs for your company, check out the complete guide
here!
Property Value Boost
Not only does solar power help you lower your monthly energy bills, but they also improve the value of your property! If you would ever look at relocating your business having solar panels on your building is a significant boost to the resale value.
Future owners know that they’ll have lower energy costs with a commercial property with solar panels, and they factor this in when they’re looking to move into a new location! So not only are you saving money month to month, but if you wind up moving you’ll make more money too!
