Corporate social responsibility is taking on greater importance as the impacts of business to the environment are becoming more apparent to shareholders, customers and employees. Investing in solar is a great way to show your commitment to the Earth and to improve the quality of life in the community you serve, and it is also a sound business decision. SunGreen is here to guide you through the solar development process so you can achieve meaningful expense reductions and financial returns while giving back to the environment.
Methodology
1) Free Evaluation & Analysis
The first step in determining whether solar power is right for your business is a comprehensive analysis of your particular situation. We will conduct a free evaluation of your utility bills and energy usage as well as a free on-site evaluation to analyze climate, sun exposure, and other physical characteristics unique to your facility.
2) System Design & Engineering
Once you have made the decision to go solar, our team of licensed professionals will design a solar system customized to your needs. If you want this investment to send a signal to the public, we can create design-enhanced solutions that will be an impressive visual symbol on your property. This requires review of your building’s architectural plans and a second site visit to take precise measurements and determine the optimal location and orientation for the system. Furthermore, these types of projects may require lengthy city reviews, approvals, and permitting. SunGreen’s professionals are experts at navigating these channels and can ensure these steps proceed smoothly and efficiently.
3) Finance
Should you elect to finance your solar electric system, SunGreen will help you and your finance staff to determine a financing option that maximizes the financial returns of the system. In addition, we will administer all paperwork to ensure that you receive the maximum rebate and tax credits possible, relieving you of any headaches associated with the process. And in most cases, we will credit you the rebate up-front so you only pay the system cost net of the rebate!
4) Installation
Our installation crews and the project managers that oversee them are comprised of experienced commercial contractors, electrical contractors, and solar experts. This team will install your system to our meticulous standards, and ensure your installation and interconnection are completed efficiently, on-time, and with minimal disturbance to you and your business.
5) Public Relations
Once we have connected your new system to the grid, you will have an impressive investment to be proud about. Your community should be proud too, and here at SunGreen, we will help you generate publicity to promote your commitment to a sustainable environment.
6) Post-Installation Service
Even after installation and connection, SunGreen will continue to be your solar partner. We will teach you how to properly maintain your system and provide any technical advice or assistance that you may need. We want you to be happy with your investment, and go the extra mile to make that happen.
Rebates
Generous state and federal incentive programs can reduce your installation cost by up to 45%. For more information on these programs, please check our rebates & incentives page.
Financing
A variety of financing options make solar more affordable. In many cases, your reduction in annual energy expenses will be greater than your financing costs, thus creating immediate positive cash flow. Our team at SunGreen will work with you to determine the financing method that best fits your needs. For more information on financing your system, please call us.
