Topics Discussed:
- Solar can help you reduce your annual utility bill. The average commercial property owner can reduce overall energy costs by 75% with solar technology.
- Free Source of Electricity. After the average payback period, in as little as 4 years in some cases, business owners can enjoy free electric supply for 25-30 years which is the life-cycle of the entire solar energy system.
- Incentives. In NYS, the NY-Sun program offers generous incentives to offset the upfront costs of solar projects. Learn about important program changes and how to take advantage of these programs while the economics are most attractive for you.
- Tax Benefits: Only available for another couple of years is the 30% Investment Tax Credit. Accelerated Depreciation options also help businesses recover capital costs over a 5-year period. *The recent changes to the tax code have additional implications for solar energy systems and will be explained at this seminar.
- Supports a Green Business Approach. Companies can create an environmentally-responsible image and generate new business and investments from shareholders seeking green businesses to support.
