Commercial Solar Energy Savings
With rising utility prices and a decrease in the cost of solar equipment, solar power is considerably less expensive than what you are currently paying the utilities.
3-5 Year Payback
The significance of your solar energy savings, paired with your substantial tax incentives, will allow you to pay off your solar systems in 3-5 years. After that, you will benefit from decades or clean, reliable and free solar electricity. Our average commercial customer saves more than $1 million in energy costs over the 25 year guaranteed life of the system.
15%+ Investment Return
Solar energy is an excellent investment for any commercial or nonprofit entity with returns that outperform any major asset class and exceed normal capital budgeting requirements. Solar power systems regularly deliver IRRs of 15%+ and do it with less risk than most other investment options.
Compelling Net Present Value
Net Present Value may provide the most straightforward understanding of the financial benefits from solar because it’s in present-day dollars. When clients compare an investment in solar against their other available options, solar systems typically yield NPVs that are hundreds of thousands of dollars higher than they expect. There are few options available that look as attractive.
