ATTENTION BUILDING OWNERS: MAKE THE SWITCH TO SOLAR POWER

BREAKING NEWS ALERT!

Fantastic News! The Investment tax credit available for commercial solar projects has become a Federal grant. Commercial business owners will receive a 30% upfront cash grant in lieu of the tax credit. Now, the available state rebate and federal grants subsidize the entire cost of solar PV installations by as much as 80%. California state rebates diminish over time, so act now to take advantage of electricity costs that have never been more affordable. Contact us today for more information and a FREE evaluation of your energy savings possibilities.

3. 30% off the system cost with 5 Year Accelerated Federal Depreciation (“MACRS”)
4. Exemption from State property tax for solar equipment

All together, rebate and tax incentives can help subsidize the cost by as much as 80%!

Commercial Solar Financing Options

Buy the System, Lease the System, or Buy the Power – that is the only question.

BUY THE SYSTEM

1. If your company has the cash flow and tax appetite, this is your best option
2. Use your tax liability to increase your net worth. These systems will pay for themselves
3. Increase the value of your building immediately
4. Develop a competitive advantage by decreasing your energy costs
5. Help qualify your building for LEED certification and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

LEASE THE SYSTEM

We have financial institutions that offer tax leases and operating leases with no initial down payment.

1. Tax Leases allow the tax benefits to flow to the customer
2. Operating leases treat the system as a rental and keep the debt off the company’s books
3. There are NO OUT-OF-POCKET expenses
4. Help qualify your building for LEED certification and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

BUY THE POWER

1. There are absolutely no upfront costs to the Host Customer or Building Owner
2. A third party with the cash flow and tax appetite will own and operate the system through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
3. The PPA Company will lease your roof and sell green power to you at a discount from your utility company rates
4. After a predetermined time, the system can be purchased at Fair Market Value
5. While you are saving money on your electricity, you can take advantage of all of the marketing benefits of going solar

Low Income Housing solar projects qualify for additional incentives that further reduce the upfront costs of going solar. When property owners combine Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a 30% Federal grant, a 20% CA state rebate, and depreciation, solar projects can be up to 70-90% off.
