Why Go Solar for Your Business?

Commercial solar energy can help California businesses save money, increase property value, and promote environmental resilience. It makes sense to switch to solar-powered electricity for these reasons:

Long-Term Savings on Energy Costs

Solar energy may help your business save significantly on energy expenditures. Generating your energy means you don't have to rely on the grid as much, which saves you money on your power bills. Solar energy is a reliable method to save money over time, especially in California, where power prices are high.

State and Federal Incentives

Companies in California receive some of the best solar subsidies. The Investment Tax Credit allows owners of commercial properties to deduct 30% of the cost of solar installation from their federal taxes. California also offers local energy benefits, an Accelerated Depreciation program, and a Self-Generation Incentive Program that provides incentives for storing batteries.

Increased Property Value

Solar panels make commercial properties more attractive to rent or purchase. Solar panels increase the property's value, making it a viable long-term investment.

Environmental Benefits

Your company can position itself as a leader in California’s environmental protection initiatives. Solar electricity reduces fossil fuel usage. It's sensible, saves money, and improves the earth and air quality for future generations.

Clean Energy For Everyone Starts With You!

Solar power means taking control of your energy costs, enjoying long-term savings, and contributing to the development of a resilient and decentralized energy infrastructure. And, increase your property value with our energy-efficient solutions.

Flexible Solar Financing Options for California Businesses & Nonprofits

We understand that each business, whether for-profit or nonprofit, has its own unique financial goals and limitations. That's why we offer a variety of financing solutions designed to help California commercial property owners switch to clean, cost-saving solar energy with confidence and convenience.

Commercial Solar Loans

We can provide businesses and nonprofits with solar financing that allows them to purchase solar panels over time. These loans make it easier to reap the long-term financial and environmental benefits of solar energy without having to pay a large amount of money upfront.

Power Purchase Agreements & Solar Leases

For bigger projects, we can potentially offer lease and PPA alternatives. If you lease the system, you pay a monthly fee to utilize it. With a PPA, you only pay for the electricity the system makes, and the total cost is typically considerably less than what you pay your existing utility.

Zero-Down Payment Options

We may offer financing alternatives that require no upfront costs to install your system. You can start saving money on your electricity bills immediately, which will free up funds for other needs. Our plans make solar accessible, helping you invest in sustainability without straining your budget.

Incentive and Rebate Assistance

By going solar, you can take advantage of California state rebates, federal tax credits (including the 30% Investment Tax Credit), MACRS accelerated depreciation, and local utility incentives. You might save tens of thousands of dollars on your solar project with these options.
