Determinations For Commercial Solar
Does Solar Make Sense For You?
1) Solar Resource
This is the available space that a building or property has that receives sufficient sunlight. While most systems are installed on the roof of the building, other options include car port systems and ground-mount systems.
2) Local Utility
What does the local power company charge for electricity? How much do you expect the cost of electricity to increase over time? Does the utility company offer any incentives or purchase agreements for the electricity your solar system produces?
3) Federal Incentives
What federal tax incentives will you qualify for? There are various tax credits which can be applied to your solar system – which incentives will make the most sense for your business?
Federal Incentives for Commercial Solar
By utilizing local and federal incentives for commercial solar, you can decrease the overall cost of your solar system by up to 60%.
Federal Tax Credit:This is the primary incentive for businesses who make the switch to solar. Often called the federal ITC tax credit.
Production tax Credit: As an alternative to the ITC tax credit, the federal government also offers a production tax credit which reduces a business’ tax liability for the first 10 years that the solar system produces electricity. The PTC is calculated based on the number of kWh that are produced each year.
Accelerated Depreciation: he accelerated depreciation program allows businesses to even further lower their tax liability. It states that 100% of your solar system can be depreciated: 60% bonus depreciation in year one (federal) and the remaining 40% over the next five years.
LEED Credits : LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most widely used green building rating system. LEED certification provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings, which offer environmental, social, and governance benefits.
