The old adage: ‘solar can’t compete’ with utilities is no longer true.  

Reducing consumption, introducing efficiency measures, and installing solar energy systems can protect your business against rising fuel and electricity prices.

Some primary variables affecting solar economics are:

• Location relative to the solar orientation, property and building configuration;
• Grants, Rebates, and Incentives including:
  • Federal tax credits
  • State-sponsored incentives, grants, and rebates
    (such as Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy™ Program)
  • Local power company as some utilities (but not all) offer very attractive Financial incentives for solar upgrades.
  • Many other financial incentive programs depending on the state, the local power company, and other factors.

Solar System Pay-Back Periods which used to be in excess of 20 years can now be reduced to less than 7 years for many systems when the proper financial mechanisms are applied.

Income may be generated by grid-tied photovoltaic systems selling excess power back to the utility company. Revenue projections are part of the economic evaluation provided by SCS.
