a business investment that pays back
Minnesota businesses are discovering that solar photovoltaic systems deliver exceptional returns on investment while providing predictable energy costs for decades. Commercial properties offer ideal conditions for solar installations, with large roof spaces and high daytime electricity consumption that perfectly matches solar production patterns. Our commercial solar solutions are custom-designed to maximize your business’s energy savings and operational efficiency.
make money when the sun shines
The financial benefits of commercial solar are substantial and immediate. Businesses typically save 20-50% on electricity costs from day one, with many achieving payback periods of 6-10 years through a combination of federal tax incentives, accelerated depreciation benefits, and Minnesota’s net metering program. Commercial solar installations also qualify for the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), allowing businesses to deduct 30% of the system cost from their federal taxes. These savings improve cash flow, enhance profitability, and provide a competitive advantage through reduced operating expenses.
Secure against price increases
Commercial solar installations provide energy independence that protects your business from volatile utility rates and potential power disruptions. By generating your own electricity, you gain predictable energy costs that make financial planning more accurate and reliable. Many of our commercial clients achieve energy independence during peak business hours, when solar production is highest and electricity rates are most expensive. This independence is particularly valuable for businesses with high daytime energy consumption, such as manufacturing facilities, retail stores, and office buildings.
