How to make the most out of solar for your business with available incentives
In the first quarter of 2019, the total installed capacity of solar PV reached 67 gigawatts in the US, which represents a 10% year-over-year increase. The opportunity to benefit from solar is still growing but with increasing pressure on businesses to address sustainability and rising costs, tackling energy needs can be challenging.
If you are thinking of installing solar, it is important to understand what support is available with tax credits and incentives, both on the Federal and State level, to reduce your upfront investment. In addition, there are several considerations when it comes to paying for your solar investment. We’ll weigh the pros and cons of different financing approaches to help you better understand your options.
In this webinar we will cover:
• Federal and State incentives and how to access them
• Different financing options such as PPA vs capital, and the benefits of each solution
• Steps you can take to maximize your solar investment long-term
At the end of this webinar, you will understand how to make the most out of solar for your business and apply the available incentives.
