Solar systems on commercial properties can help reduce your ongoing operations costs, add to your bottom line, boost property value, and provide a marketing edge over your competition!
Tax Credits
There is currently a 30% Federal tax credit for all project costs associated with solar power projects! These tax credits can be used immediately or spread out over several years. This helps significantly boost the ROI of your solar project. Solar qualifies for a 5 year Accelerated Depreciation.
Illinois Solar Incentives
Additional state incentives are available for Illinois residents in the form of SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits).
Tax credits + state incentives provide a savings of 65% on a typical Illinois installation!
ROI : 4 - 6 years break even
In most commercial applications, our solar energy systems will generate enough savings to give our customer a payback period of 4-6 years. Larger systems will have a shorter payback period. The solar system produces energy which helps to offset or eliminate your business electric bills, lowering your monthly overhead costs!
String Inverter System vs. Enphase Energy System
Think of solar panels like bulbs in a string of holiday lights. In conventional inverter systems, when one panel fails, the whole system goes out. Or when one panel’s output drops — thanks to fallen leaves, a passing cloud, or some other unavoidable factor — the system’s overall performance drops to match that lowest-performing panel. With microinverters, each panel operates independently — so no matter what happens to any one panel, the rest of your system keeps shining bright. | Learn more about how how Enphase inverters compare to other available equipment
High quality, efficient equipment
Operating and Maintenance costs can really eat into any company budget. One of the key factors in keeping those costs low are the quality of your system components. We focus on choosing the right parts that will perform for decades with little to no maintenance or replacement costs. This adds thousands to your bottom line.
All of our solar systems are designed with the ability to individually monitor each and every panel in the solar array via the internet. This allows us to stay on top of any issues that may come up over the years for all of our past customers. Real-time data monitoring can save thousands of dollars over the life of a solar system. The monitoring provides our customers with the peace-of-mind of knowing they are getting the return on their investment.

Marketing Advantages
Green is the new Black! Over the last few years, more and more people are becoming interested in supporting businesses that are aware of their environmental impact. Advertising that your company is powered by clean renewable energy will improve your reputation with the public and can result in more sales for your company.
Increases Property Value
Most commercial properties are valued based on their Net Operating Income (NOI). A solar system can add tens of thousands of $$$ to your NOI and boost your property value considerably. Buyers looking for standard commercial/office space are also willing to pay more for property that has significantly less overhead costs.
Energy storage can bring security to your business and your bottom line. Whether you want your mission critical items such as servers/computers to be able to function or your entire team, we can design and install a system to keep you up and running through any power outage.
