Continuing on our Thursday white paper series, I’m attaching a quick 5-point overview of topics related to commercial solar. By many estimates, a bulk of future growth in solar capacity in the U.S. will come from commercial installations. This has a lot to do with falling per-watt costs and a helpful corporate tax credit — worth up to 30 percent of total installed costs — made available by the federal government. Don’t forget that for systems installed in 2009 and 2010, your company is entitled to receive a renewable energy grant from the Treasury instead of (but equal to) the 30-percent tax credit. We provide more information on these programs here.

Anyway, here’s the full white paper: “Getting Solar: 5 Things Businesses Should Know about Solar Energy” (PDF).

Finally, don’t hesitate to contact us for more information. We’re here to provide answers and, when you’re ready, connect you with GetSolar Qualified solar installers serving your area.
