Benefits of Solar Energy
Tax Benefits of Going Solar
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) from the federal government gives businesses that install a photovoltaic (PV) solar system a 30% tax credit on the cost of the system. There is no cap amount for the ITC. Any unused portion of the tax credit may be able to be used in subsequent years. If that wasn’t enough, states and local utilities offer their own rebate systems to reduce the overall costs of having a solar energy system installed for your business.
Net Metering to Offset or Eliminate Your Power Bill
Most states also have a net metering policy. Net metering is when a customer only pays for the net amount of electricity they use. With the net metering option, businesses with a solar panel system can “bank” the excess electricity their solar system generates as “credits.” You can receive a credit for up to 100% of your electric use at the full retail electricity price.
Additionally many states exempt the value of a renewable energy system from an owner’s property taxes. Unlike other improvements, which are likely to increase a property’s assessed value, some businesses do not have increased property taxes even though the value of the building will increase with the addition of a solar power system.
Other Benefits of Solar Energy
Accelerated Depreciation
Operating Advantages with Solar
Installing a solar system can dramatically reduce a business’ operating expenses and therefore, improve the financial bottom line. In virtually every system we’ve installed, the corporate utility costs have significantly declined, even to the point where the savings can pay for the solar system. The financial investment in most solar power systems will not only cover the initial costs, but will pay for itself 10 times over.
