Commercial Solar Financing

Commercial Solar Financing

Look into commercial solar financing for your business. The economics of a solar investment are excellent.

Tax incentives are part of the equation, but just as importantly, solar acts as a hedge against conventional energy prices. An investor can recapture the initial investment in less four years and enjoy the “solar hedge” for the remainder of the life of the system, which can even 40 years or longer. Another way to think about it: solar locks in lower priced energy. Such an investment has been shown to yield an after-tax 8 to 13% Internal Rate of Return.

With a 25-year warranty on the panels and low weather volatility (+/- 3% annually), solar energy has a low-risk profile that is comparable to financial investments that yield returns only in the low single digits. By comparison, solar is spectacular!

The Solar Hedge

Using solar as a hedge against utility price volatility is highly valuable to businesses that are focused on managing long-term budgets. Combined with innovative financing options that further reduce upfront costs, solar has a new value proposition that makes good business sense.

Small Business and Commercial Financing

Focus your resources on your business and go solar without having to make a large initial capital outlay.

According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, in 2016, “the price of solar energy systems has dropped rapidly over the past 5 years. In some places, it is more cost effective to deploy solar than buy electricity from the local utility. And no matter where the company is located, solar provides predictably priced electricity for 20 to 30 years. This hedge against utility price volatility is highly valuable to businesses that are focused on managing long-­‐term budgets. Combined with innovative financing options that further reduce upfront costs, solar has a new value proposition that makes business sense for major companies nationwide.”
