Commercial & Industrial Solar
Federal tax incentives and highly favorable accelerated depreciation result in a typical ROI between 2-4 years. Entities who install commercial and industrial solar receive the following benefits:
Federal “Investment Tax Credit” (ITC)
- Tax Credit of 26% of the value of the investment
- Can be taken in current year, applied to prior year, or taken forward up to 5 years
- Can be passed up ownership chain and applied to any passive income
Accelerated Depreciation
- Allows for depreciation using MACRS schedule (i.e. fully depreciate first year)
- Reduces annual tax burden on the property
Local Incentives
- A highly favorable net metering system which can allow you to create power that you can use at a later date – a credit that never expires
- Up to 25% of project total awarded to selected applicants for companies in qualifying rural areas
By combining these incentives, overall out of pocket costs can be reduced by approximately 60-70%. As part of our service, we will provide you with required documents for your finance department or tax accountant to assist in maximizing these incentives.
