COMMERCIAL

A solar energy system installed by Vulcan Solar Power at your business will substantially reduce operating costs for 30+ years, pay for itself in just 3-5years, and generate anywhere from 15% to 25% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for most businesses.

SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL TAX INCENTIVES

The federal government offers substantial tax incentives to businesses that install solar energy systems that can effectively lower the cost of the system up to 50% in the first year.

  • 26% Federal Tax Credit. Businesses are entitled to a 26% federal tax credit on the entire cost of a solar energy system (dollar-for-dollar credit), and there is no application process or cap on the total credit amount. Free money from the IRS!
  • Accelerated Depreciation. Businesses can depreciate 85% of the entire cost of a system in the first year, at the federal level and 100% at the state level, which can reduce the effective cost of the system by another 20% or more.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT
