Why Solar?
Your Bottom Line.
An investment in solar allows you to take control of your energy costs and leverage incentives. The 26% Solar tax Credit, MACRS depreciation and utility incentive programs make the financials behind solar even more attractive.
Your Energy Bill.
Solar provides a locked & affordable energy rate, protecting your organization from rate hikes. As electricity costs continue to rise, your savings increase – allowing for predictable financial forecasting and reliable savings.
Your Sustainability Goals.
Whether you’re taking steps toward a greener supply chain, achieving LEED certification, or simply want to do your part in reducing emissions, solar can compliment and contribute to your organization’s sustainability goals.
