HOW CAN SOLAR POWER HELP WITH RISING COSTS?
Utility costs are one of the largest expenses for most businesses. As your company grows, it consumes more energy — for lighting, HVAC, production, computing, and more.
Compounding the issue, commercial utility costs continue to rise every day. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the U.S. already spend more than $60 billion a year on energy. And energy market experts predict that the increases in the average per-kilowatt-hour cost of electricity will persist long-term.
That’s where solar energy enters the picture.
When you’re using a free and inexhaustible source of energy, your bottom line is less affected by energy market fluctuations. As a result, you can drastically reduce — or even completely eliminate — monthly electricity bills. Those savings can then be redirected back into your organization, making solar energy a true investment for your business.
Still, the decision to install solar is a big one. In order to recoup your initial investment as quickly as possible, you need a partner who will help you both select an appropriate system for your facilities and help you maximize your return on investment.

WHY SHOULD BUSINESSES GO SOLAR?
Commercial solar panels are a smart investment to lower your tax liability, reduce your operating expenses, and further your sustainability goals and marketing efforts.
For many businesses, solar is primarily a financial decision. The cost of solar installation is partially offset by federal and local incentives including tax credits, depreciation, grants such as the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) managed by the USDA, and rebates.
An investment in commercial solar power provides a strong internal rate of return (IRR) and a more favorable payback period than most residential systems.
Growing numbers of businesses in the United States are seeing the financial and environmental benefits of solar energy, leading to a record 3.5 gigawatts of projects under contract as of August 2018.
Companies such as Walmart, Kohl’s, and Amazon are leading the way, with growth across many corporate sectors.
