WHILE THEY LAST, FEDERAL SOLAR TAX BENEFITS FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY CAN
REDUCE SOLAR ELECTRICAL COST BY 40% - 80% OF UTILITY COST
BASED ON YOUR SOLAR EXPOSURE AND METHOD OF FINANCING
A commercial photovoltaic (PV) system can provide solar electricity for 20% - 50% of utility costs for the next 25 years using capital expenditure, 40% - 60% using a solar loan (no capital expenditure needed). Each project is different based on solar exposure, building orientation and how the system is financed.
Even if you decide to sell your property, you should recover all of what was invested plus a good portion of the future profits of the system.[i] All future electricity from the system can be added into the equity of the property. So, your investment is safe even if the property is sold.
WHY WOULD I WANT SOLAR ON MY COMMERCIAL BUILDING?
Even if a PV system might not meet much or all of your company’s electrical needs it does the right thing for our Northwest environment while you make money doing it.
The commercial benefits for solar can be used for PV systems installed on:
Business property you own
Residential or commercial rentals you own, or
Property you are renting for your business in which the electrical service is in the business name (in coordination with property owner and co-benefits/sales agreement).
