Why Are Businesses Choosing Solar Energy?
The main reason businesses are choosing solar may not be what you think.
Some businesses go solar because it helps achieve environmental goals, reductions in carbon emissions, and target LEED certifications–and these are very good reasons. However, the most compelling reason businesses choose to install a solar energy system is because it makes good financial sense to do so.
Benefits & Incentives of Adding Solar to Your Business
Business owners have many options available to control electrical costs. You can purchase the PV system outright or finance the entire solar energy system. No matter which route you choose to go, here are some of the benefits:
Transform a monthly cost into a performing asset for the next 25 + years
+4* year return on investment, typically, depending on your individual financial factors*
Save on operating expenses at no expense to the environment
Capital allocation may enhance your tax position via 26% federal tax credit, depreciation models like Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), or Section 179 *
Public relations advantages to being a clean energy company
Potential access to a 25% USDA grant for businesses in rural areas*
*Ask your accountant if any others apply - ROI dependent on rate structure and usage

Invest in Solar
All kinds of businesses can take advantage of solar, whether they're for-profit, non-profit, industrial, governmental, etc. With utility rates increasing and operating budgets receiving more scrutiny than ever, businesses are using solar to turn otherwise non-performing assets such as rooftops and undeveloped land into energy-saving, self-generating solar energy investments.
Plus by developing solar assets at a prime business location(s), self-generation allows them to not only mitigate the emissions produced through business operations but also stabilizes electricity costs and adds to the bottom line for decades to come. A properly engineered solar array works much like a 25-35-year annuity except it is not affected by economic upturns and downturns. Rather, its performance is based on the sun’s rays.
You can control most aspects of your business; so, why not electricity?
Your business may benefit from the financial advantages* that solar can provide
In just 10 seconds, the sun provides over 10,000 times the amount of energy required to provide the world’s total combined energy use.
