The switch to solar puts you in some pretty powerful company. A short list of major corporations that are expanding their solar presences includes:

• Target
• Walmart
• Apple
• Costco
• Kohl’s
• Amazon
• Macy’s

These and other top corporations added 325 megawatts of installed solar capacity in 2017. To offer perspective, that’s enough electricity to power over 65,000 homes, from one year of added capacity.  This transformation of our energy mix is only accelerating, and has now scaled to the degree that your business, big or small, can and should take part.

It’s no secret that the federal government and many state governments want businesses to go solar. Often this desire is expressed in the form of valuable tax incentives.

Solar energy is on the rise. Within the U.S. in 2018 alone, a new solar project was installed every 100 seconds. The increase in popularity can be attributed to a number of items.

You’ve done some research and decided that a solar PV system would be a wise choice for your home and that buying would be better than leasing. Assuming you’re not planning to purchase the system outright with cash, now is a good time to consider your financing options. Here are some guidelines.

Anyone who’s looked into solar energy likely has run across the term net metering. This term describes a billing mechanism that allows you to store/bank unused solar energy on the local power grid and later reclaim its value in the form of “free” energy when needed.

Electricity is big business, so it makes sense that there are some things about solar energy
that electric companies don’t want consumers to know.

Did you know that many solar experts say the average solar system pays for itself in eight to ten years? You may wonder if that’s possible if you haven’t looked at the key factors in calculating the return on your solar investment.

Equipping your home with solar power is a serious investment—and one that pays off handsomely. But if you don’t know the true cost of solar, you’re probably thinking about
powering a home with solar only in terms of the financial outlay in having the system installed.

In this eBook, we’re going to show you how your initial investment, whatever it may be, starts getting paid back the minute your panels are up and running.
