That euphoric feeling? It’s called energy independence.
Operating a business on your own solar power has a range of benefits. For companies with sustainability priorities, solar power is an obvious choice. Also, it’s an attractive incentive for commercial properties seeking tenants. But for most companies, it’s simply a terrific financial decision, and now, it’s easier than ever to make this investment.
Supporting the drive for clean, renewable power and energy independence, federal and state governments have created a host of financial incentives to make purchasing solar power systems more affordable than ever. In fact, if you install your system in 2010, the U.S. Department of Treasury offers a renewable energy grant that will save you 30% off the cost of your system. That’s just one incentive, in addition to the numerous state and electrical utility grants that make solar installations so affordable for commercial enterprises like yours. This lower acquisition cost, combined with the high ROI of solar power production, makes a solar installation a smart, long-term investment for your commercial property.
Combining your energy savings with available incentives, you can pay off your entire solar system quickly, in as few as 5 years. After payback, your energy savings add up exponentially.
