Commercial Solar

Solar electric or photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity from the sun and offer a clean energy solution.

An abundant and renewable energy in Arizona and a time-tested technology, solar power can produce all or part of your business’ electricity needs. Current financial incentives make solar not only a responsible corporate decision, but also a financially sound investment. Present concern about the environment also makes solar a good marketing decision as consumers become more aware of new technologies and alternatives.

How solar can make a difference for you…

Financially, installing a PV system now will:

• offset your company electric bill,
• allow you to take advantage of significant incentives,
• offer you the AZ Corp. Commission/TEP rebate of $2.50/DC watt up to 20 kW DC, or a performance based incentive for systems over 20 kw DC.
• give you a federal solar tax credit of 30 percent,
• give you a state tax credit of 10 percent,
• give you the option of depreciating in one to five years,
• obtain a permit fee waiver from City of Tucson, and
• provide protection against rising electricity rates.

In terms of improving your marketing strategies, installing a PV system will:

• give your business the competitive edge by attracting consumers who care about the environment,
• generate substantial local and national PR for your business,
• show leadership in the protection of the environment and demonstrate corporate responsibility,
• produce a highly visible commitment to the environment, and
• promote positive employee relations and encourage employee investment in the company.

Environmentally, installing a PV system will:

• reinforce company values of environmental stewardship,
• produce electricity for your business using renewable energy, and
• reduce your business impact on the environment.

In regards to building community, installing a PV system will:

• serve as an example of environmental stewardship to the community,
