Commercial

Solar for businesses that think in decades.

Commercial solar economics are driven by tax incentives, operating cost reduction, and long-term energy price certainty — not just a lower electricity bill.

Business case

Why commercial solar pencils out

Accelerated depreciation (MACRS)

Commercial solar systems qualify for 5-year accelerated depreciation under MACRS, significantly improving first-year tax economics over residential.

Reduce operating costs

Electricity is one of the largest controllable operating expenses for most businesses. Solar locks in a known cost for 25 years.

ESG and sustainability reporting

On-site solar generation provides verifiable renewable energy data for sustainability reports, RFPs, and corporate carbon commitments.

Property value and NNN leases

For commercial property owners, solar can increase asset value and become a differentiated selling point for energy-conscious tenants.
