Tax credits and incentives make it possible for more businesses to take advantage of the benefits of solar.

MACRS Accelerated Depreciation
Year 1 Bonus Depreciation
30% Federal Tax Credit
Even More Solar Incentives 

As if lower utility bills were not enough, when you switch to solar, customers are able to take advantage of tax benefits that significantly reduce the cost of the system. There is a 30% federal tax credit that is still available, and commercial solar customers are able to depreciate their solar systems on their federal and state taxes. These tax incentives are equivalent to 60–70% of the cost of the system, and between the solar savings and tax incentives, customers can get their cost of solar back in anywhere from 4 to 6 years. With its 30-year or more useful life, once your solar system has paid for itself, it will keep saving money for decades to come.

Solar tax credit timeline: 30% from 2022 to 2032, reducing to 26% in 2033, and 22% in 2034. Maximize your savings with solar energy incentives.
Financial Incentives

This aspect is perhaps the most well-known. The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and the 5-Year Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) have been important drivers in reducing costs for companies going solar. Many other rebates and incentives exist at the state, municipal, and utility levels. You can find out more about incentives in specific locations by searching the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Energy.

Strategic Net Metering

Net Energy Metering in some form or another was approved by the State of California in 2016, the State of New York in 2011, and the State of New Jersey in 2012, allowing businesses to install a single centralized solar power system to offset multiple meters or facilities. Benefiting meters can be at different rates or even located on different properties, but they must be on contiguous parcels. Net metering (the ability to sell energy to the utility) can also be central to creating positive financial returns. Changes to the NEM program in 2023 in California will significantly affect the payments, while the other benefits of solar remain.

Rate Structure Incentives

While most companies have heard of net metering, perhaps one of the least talked about but extremely important topics is the role of rate structures. When possible, having the ability to rate-switch to the best utility rate structure is extremely helpful in creating a winning financial scenario.

Maximizing Financial Value

This is a great opportunity to go solar. The right partner, like Sea Bright Solar, can help you assemble the most financially advantageous combination of incentives, rate structures, financing, and investors (when applicable) to help your business achieve the maximum benefits and value from your solar project.
