In addition to saving money on this year's electrical bill, you can also feel confident that you are investing in a positive long term investment with a guaranteed rate of return.  We focus on small business owners (like us!) who are interested in making an investment in clean power and showing off their environmental side as well.  Typically systems from 10 kW to 40 kW can tremendously offset the cost of a small business.  These systems cost an estimated $70,000 to $250,000 and will produce power for well over 25 years.  Business owners can take advantage of the 30% Federal Tax Credit as well as an accelerated depreciation schedule for the solar PV system.  100% of the costs can be depreciated over the first five years of system life. 

There is a low interest loan program for commercial solar projects available from New Generation Energy. Loans up to $100,000 with 0-5% interest!

Be sure to investigate energy efficiency measures as well. There are great statewide rebates and incentives for those as well. Check it out:  Database for State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency.
