Commercial Solar

Companies boost profitability by installing solar panels

Successful organizations as diverse as Wal-Mart, FedEx, Verizon, Kraft, eBay, Whole Foods and the U.S. Air Force have something significant in common. They power their buildings, reduce costs and achieve competitive advantage using commercial solar panel energy systems.

Commercial enterprises can reap especially big rewards because of their high energy consumption and need to control costs, reduce prices and find competitive advantages to outperform rivals. Even less energy-intensive businesses rack up electric bills that have gotten far more expensive in recent years.

The reason: Economies around the world are growing and creating more demand for fossil fuels just as supplies are running low. High demand and low supply have created price volatility that is breaking the financial back of U.S. business.

Commercial solar panel installation provides a clean, inexhaustible and tremendously powerful solution. It's delivered to all points of the earth every day, free of charge.

The incentives for installing commercial solar panels have never been better

That's why some of America's largest, most sophisticated companies are making aggressive moves into the commercial solar installation arena. How about you?

• Historic legislation offers companies a 30 percent tax credit
• Save up to 50 percent on your system through local and state tax breaks, rebates and incentives
• Remaining costs can be written off at an accelerated depreciate rate of five years
• That means your solar system could pay for itself in as few as five years
• With 25-year warranties, you could be producing essentially free electricity for 20 years, or more
• Some commercial solar panel systems are more than 30 years old and still cranking out power
• Can create a cash flow from the surplus energy it generates

Additional income could be realized through "cap-and-trade" guidelines for reducing greenhouse gases. Under this program, companies are given an annual limit or "cap" on the amount of pollutants they can release into the atmosphere. By installing a solar system you ensure the greenhouse gases you emit will be below the cap. That gives you the ability to sell your unused credits to companies that exceeded their emission cap.
