Commercial solar photovoltaic systems are eligible for a one time Federal Tax Credit amounting to 30% of the total system cost. Credits can be carried one year back and twenty years forward. That means a $1M system earns $300,000 in Federal Tax credits that can be taken in one years or spanned across twenty-one.


Each utility company has it own incentive program, these programs provide cash incentives ranging from 5% to 25% of the system’s total cost, for a more extensive list of incentives and details click on the incentive menu to the right.


REC’s are certificate that are issued to a renewable energy system once it is installed. These credits can be sold on an open market much like a commodity.


The entire cost of the solar system can be depreciated over 5 years and is property tax exempt.


The combined benefits of cash incentive, tax credits and depreciation make any commercial solar investment a risk free proposition with 6-7 year payback.
