 MARKETABILITY - Businesses worldwide are realizing the real benefits in making their operations more sustainable, both for the fiscal attributes and the impression it has on their customers.  Studies have shown that consumers are attracted to companies that exhibit a commitment to ‘greening’ their business model.

STATE REBATES AND FEDERAL TAX CREDITS – There is currently a production based incentive (PBI) offered through the California Solar Initiative (CSI) for commercial solar system installations.  As part of this CSI program, not only will you save money by reducing the amount of grid energy you use, but PG&E will actually pay you for each unit of energy (kWh) your solar system produces.  There is also a Federal Tax Credit (ITC) available in which you will be refunded an amount equal to 30% of your business’s solar system investment.    

HEDGE AGAINST RISING ELECTRICITY RATES – The cost of utility grid electricity continues to rise by about 6% annually.  And as you know, the more energy you use, the more you pay for each energy unit (called a kilowatt hour or kWh).  A commercial solar system offsets the most expensive energy first, so a system which is designed to offset 50% of your grid energy consumption can offset 80% of your bill cost.

 REAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT – Most commercial solar systems pay for themselves in real cash utility expense savings in 5-10 years.  And that doesn’t account for the real property value increase your property should realize.

SOLAR’S ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT – Over their 25-40 year operating lifetime, your commercial solar system will prevent a tremendous amount of greenhouse gases from being emitted from conventional power plants, possibly in the millions of tons.  The human impact on our planet is real, nobody can question that.  Your business can do its part to make a difference and to be an industry leader in the quest for a clean, sustainable energy solution.

 FORGET THE MAINTENANCE – Solar systems require little or no maintenance.  Most systems have no moving parts and will simply provide clean, silent electrical power for 30 to 40 years.

EXTENSIVE WARRANTIES – We build our systems with only the highest quality equipment.  All of our solar panels carry 25 year warranties, our inverters carry 10 year warranties, and we guarantee our installation for 10 years as well.
