Solar For Businesses
Are you interested in solar power as an alternative source of energy? Businesses that go solar can eliminate or significantly reduce their electric bill saving 100’s of thousands of dollars over the life of the system. With the cost of energy rising so rapidly, there is no better way to fight inflation than producing your own electricity.
We at Everything Solar will evaluate a range of products to determine the best solution for you, whether that be an on-grid, off-grid or hybrid solar system.
Reduction of Annual Energy Expenses
For a properly sized system it is very common to see 60% to 70% reduction in annual energy expenses for the average 9-5 business without a battery system. This is because the system utilizes self consumption so as the power is being produced during the day it is directly feeding into your business thus reducing your need to pull energy from the grid. For a panel only system a 16% to 17% rate of return on investment is very common, this coupled with the tax credits and deductions leads to a very fast return on investment, in most cases less than 3 years.
Tax Credits and Deductions
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is currently set at 30% of the system cost. Additionally systems that are installed within areas defined as an "Energy Community" qualify for an additional tax credit equal to 10% of the system cost.

Tax Cuts and Clean Jobs Act of 2017 introduced “Bonus Depreciation” for the initial year of solar projects, enabling a portion of the project’s depreciable base to be depreciated in year one. In 2025, the depreciable base multiplied by the bonus depreciation rate results in up to 34% of the total system cost being eligible for Bonus Depreciation in year 1.
Commercial solar energy equipment is eligible for a 5-year cost recovery period under MACRS. MACRS is a depreciation system that allows businesses to deduct the cost of qualifying property over a set period.

Loss Prevention
Power outages can cost businesses thousands in lost revenue, spoiled inventory, damaged equipment, and downtime. A commercial solar energy system combined with battery storage and/or backup generators ensures your business stays powered and productive—no matter what, protecting profits, assets, and customer trust.
Whether it’s a storm, wildfire, or rolling blackout, solar-backed energy systems protect your business from costly interruptions. A solar system with batteries and/or generator isn’t just backup—it’s business insurance in the form of clean, reliable power.
