Commercial Photovoltaic

Solar Electric is also commonly known as Photovoltaics (PV).

With the rising cost of electricity coupled with generous government incentives both on a federal and state level, many business are gravitating towards a solar electric system.  The installation of a Solar Electric system should enable you to earn a significant savings on your utility bill.  On top of the savings through the utility company and the great government based incentives, having a more community positive image by promoting a greener image is also an added benefit.

The Solar Electric/PV technology is used to generate electricity. The solar PV panels convert sunlight directly into clean, pollution-free electricity and is done by installing a solar electric system on your facility.  It can also help to eliminate or significantly reduce your electric utility bill.  Now that’s just smart business!

Thousands of business owners across the nation are already taking advantage of the savings on their electric bills and doing their part to reduce their C02 emissions by installing this system on their facility.  The movement to Solar Electric and Solar Thermal is not a phase that people will soon forget.  Solar power is fast becoming the energy source that people are migrating to for reasons that just make since.  

Incentives, Incentives, Incentives…

Speaking of tax breaks, Solar really has them!

The Federal Tax Credit enables a business to install a Solar Electric system and be eligible for up to a 30% federal tax credit on the installed cost of the system and could take advantage of a 5 year accelerated tax depreciation plan.
The State Rebates and Incentives are different based on system etc.  We have provided you with the most updated incentive program by looking through the Commercial Rebates & Incentives navigation to the left or by clicking here.

The Basics to Solar Electric

Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight directly into electricity.

The system consists of Solar PV Panels, an inverter and a utility meter.  The Panels generate DC electricity, the inverter converts the DC electricity to a standard AC electricity.  This AC electricity is capable of supplying power to multiple types and sizes of electrical devices.  The Utility Meter will then track the solar electricity that your business will produce and therefore providing you a tool for measuring your return.  

The most common type of Solar System is a grid-tied electric system.  This system can generate power on-site to supply a business that will offset the usage from the utility company.

An off-grid solar system can also be very helpful as it will supply power to a remote business or  area that would otherwise not have access to electricity by having a battery back-up.
