Commercial Rebates & Incentives For Solar Power

    30% Federal Investment Tax Credit/Grant: For systems installed between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2016, business owners will receive a solar tax credit equal to 30% of the net system cost after rebates. Or, for systems placed in service by December 31, 2011, corporate tax filers can take a 30% upfront cash grant not subject to federal tax in lieu of the tax credit.

    California Solar Power Rebates and Incentives: The state of California allocates solar rebates on a sliding scale pegged to the total number of systems installed statewide. As the number grows, the rebate declines. If you are considering investing in a commercial solar system, now is the time. The actual rebate you receive is determined by a variety of individual factors including system wattage and actual electrical output.

    5-Year Accelerated Capital Depreciation: Businesses can recover a substantial portion of their investments in solar power systems through MACRS and applicable state depreciation deductions.
