Economic Resilience

What if you could lessen the impact of one of your biggest and most consistent bills? Commercial solar power provides a stable and predictable energy source, shielding your business from spikes in conventional energy prices due to inflation. By mitigating the impact of energy price fluctuations, your business can maintain more consistent operational costs, positioning you to weather economic uncertainties.

Credits and Incentives

Federal and state-level tax credits, as well as renewable energy incentives, can significantly offset the upfront costs of installing solar systems. Specifically, the federal government offers a Business Energy Investment Tax Credit, which provides a credit of up to 30% of the eligible costs for solar energy systems installed between 2022 and 2032. It’s smart to consult with a tax professional to determine what credits and incentives from solar energy apply to your business.

The “Inflation Reduction Act” grants properties that commence solar construction anywhere between 2022 and 2032 eligibility for a tax credit worth 30% of your system’s value. Other factors include the orientation of your roof and having adequate panel space to cover your power usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does commercial solar work for business?

Similar to residential, solar panels are installed transforming the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) which powers most electrical and electronic devices a business uses. The difference is that a company’s needs are more demanding than those of a household. Going solar is a great investment in the short and long term because it reduces operating costs and your business will also be recognized as a green company.

What are the potential cost savings for my business with solar panel installation?
Every proposal we give aims for a 100% offset of your power bill. With the growing and demanding industry, scientific research is developing improved cells for panels to make this easier. Panels do their job efficiently already which is to convert sunlight into electricity. The focus now is to use more suitable materials like silicon to make the most out of solar panels that meet businesses’ demands. 
How long does it typically take to see a return on investment for a commercial solar installation?
As a rough estimate, many commercial solar installations have a payback period ranging from 5 to 10 years. However, this can vary widely based on factors such as upfront costs, incentives and rebates, electricity rates, and sunlight conditions.
What incentives or tax credits are available for businesses adopting solar energy?
The “Inflation Reduction Act” grants properties that commence solar construction anywhere between 2022 and 2032 eligibility for a tax credit worth 30% of your system's value. Other incentives include net metering, and low-interest state energy loans.
What kind of maintenance is required for commercial solar panels, and how often?
Commercial solar panels generally require minimal maintenance in Idaho, usually a cleaning every 6 months. Periodic visual inspections can help ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of the system, especially after an Idaho windstorm. Keep an eye out for buildups of dust, vegetation, or birds who have made your solar panels their new home.
Are there any restrictions or regulations in my local area that may impact the installation of commercial solar panels?
Idaho requires building permits before installing their solar systems. Your preferred solar company should be able to handle all regulatory compliance requirements and be able to install your solar system completely up to code.
Can I add more solar panels in the future if my business expands?
You can add solar panels as your business expands, but it’s important to plan for scalability from the beginning. Your preferred solar company can walk you through this process, and ensure a system designed with expansion in mind.
Can solar panels be installed on all types of commercial roofs?
Solar panels can be installed on a variety of commercial roof types, but the feasibility and ease of installation can be different depending on the specific characteristics of the roof. Flat, metal, and south-facing sloped roofs are your best bet. Before installation, your solar company should perform a thorough assessment on your roof’s condition.
