Commercial building owners and lessees who desire to control energy costs can benefit by adding a solar to their facilities. Investing in a solar energy system allows facility operators to take advantage of substantial financial incentives available exclusively in 2009 and 2010.
Immediate financial benefits include:
 |
- Federal grants equal to 30% of system cost
- A five year MACRS depreciation schedule plus a 50% year one bonus depreciation allowance
- Identify and facilitate the use of government financial incentives available to your project.
- Potential Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) that generate an annual income from the utility provider for 15 years or more
- Potential state rebates for system cost and installation
- Creative financing solutions such as operating leases to eliminate the need for up-front capital investments
|
Beyond the immediate quantifiable benefits building owners may also realize other indirect benefits such as:
|
- Qualifying for green building LEED credits
- Increased rents or sale price for environmentally-friendly work places
- More competitive leasing agreements that include fixed-price electricity for tenants
- More liberal permitting by the inclusion of environmental measures
- Stabilization of rising utility energy rates to a more predictable solar energy rate
- Employee responsiveness to environmental stewardship
- Positive public relations activities and/or media campaigns
