THE BENEFITS

Why Choose Utility-Scale Solar Projects?

Utility-scale solar projects provide large-scale energy solutions that contribute to grid stability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Here are the key benefits:

Cost-Effective Energy Production

Utility-scale solar installations reduce the cost per megawatt, making solar energy more affordable for utilities and consumers alike.

Job Creation and Economic Growth

Utility-scale solar projects create jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, contributing to local and regional economic development.

Environmental Benefits

Renewable Energy Source: Utility-scale solar contributes to the transition away from fossil fuels, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting cleaner air.

Energy Independence and Security

By diversifying energy sources, utility-scale solar enhances energy security and reduces
dependence on volatile fossil fuel markets.

Grid Stability

Large solar installations can provide reliable energy supply, helping to balance demand
and support grid stability, particularly during peak usage times.

Long-Term Savings

These projects can offer significant savings on energy procurement
costs, benefiting ratepayers over time.

In addition to the 30% federal ITC, certain projects can receive extra tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) based on specific criteria:

1. 10% for Energy Communities: Projects located in former coal or fossil fuel-dependent areas.
2. 10% for Low-Income Communities: Projects located in qualified low-income areas.
3. 10% for Domestic Content: Projects that use U.S.-made components.
4. 10% for Rural/Underserved Areas: Projects in rural or underserved areas may qualify for additional incentives.
These stackable incentives can significantly reduce the overall cost of solar installations.

SOLAR QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For most people, solar provides a financial benefit over the life of the system. How much benefit is determined by your energy usage and electricity rates. To understand what type of return on your investment you may get, contact us for a free energy evaluation.

The cost of your solar system depends on the amount energy that you need it to produce, where its located on your property and how you connect it. A typical 10kW, roof-mounted and grid-tied system costs about $30,000 on average.

By investing in solar energy, the government allows you to deduct a percentage of the system’s total cost when you file your taxes. This lowers your tax obligation, saving you money. 

In most cases, yes. For traditional grid tied systems, you sell some or all of the power you produce directly to the utility company, then buy it back when you need it. Most utility providers also charge a small transmission fee for the use of their infrastructure. 

We can help those requiring financing in a variety of ways, by connecting them to traditional lending options, or by offering in-house leasing options.

Depending on the system you install, the typical maintenance that is required is minimal. But for the few things that are needed, we offer an extended maintenance plan so you don’t have to worry about it!

In most cases, yes, but not always. We take a practical approach to our energy consultation and tell you if we think solar is a good investment for you.
