Implementing solar energy solutions can help municipalities and non-profits reduce costs, enhance sustainability, and serve their communities more effectively. Here are the key benefits:
Organizations can save up to 30% on their energy bills by generating their own electricity.
Savings on energy costs can be redirected towards essential services and programs, enhancing overall community impact.
Solar energy significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, positioning your organization as a leader in sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Solar reduces dependence on utility companies, providing stable energy and potentially powering your home during outages.
Solar systems require minimal maintenance and are designed to last 25 years or more, ensuring long-term performance and savings.
Benefit from the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit and various state incentives.
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.

Finally, after inspections and connection are complete, you’re able to begin using your new system. You can feel good about the environmental impact you’ll have and cost savings you’ll experience by switching to renewable energy.
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.
