Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery Practice Goes Solar
Business Profile: Dr. Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery Practice has Gone Solar!
The Problem
In 2017, Dr. Capizzi of Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery took a closer look at incorporating renewable energy at his practice. Future increases in utility costs were a concern, but could solar lock in affordable energy? With the cost of solar having come down in recent years, he moved ahead with a solar energy consultation to find out if it would be a good fit.
The Solution
The practice soon learned that their building had a suitable roof for solar and that it could provide financial and environmental returns.
Not only would the practice become more competitive by saving on monthly fixed costs, without sacrificing quality of care to clients, but going solar also enabled the practice to use tax credits and other business tax strategies to accelerate the financial benefit of going solar – a federal tax credit would essentially pay for 30% of the project cost to the customer.
The Benefits
Capizzi, MD Cosmetic Surgery is demonstrating environmental consciousness through solar. Within the first year using solar power, the practice will avoid over 65,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
In its first 30 years of operation, the solar system will save $0.25 million in electric utility costs and will attract and impress new clients.

Roof-size/available space: When we look at the size of your roof and the space available, we gather data that tell us the maximum number of solar panels your home or site can hold and we even consider shading. We use a software “Suneye” which takes a 360 picture of your roof and we use this photo to determine if your home is a good candidate for solar.
Energy Usage: When we determine energy usage we look at your past electrical bills from over the course of a year to make sure your system isn’t too big or too small.
Your Budget: We take your budget seriously and most importantly, we want you to be satisfied with our services. We take your feedback on how much you want to spend so that we can size your system appropriately.
