Going solar is about more than being green; investments in on-site solar energy translate into a compelling ROI for your business or commercial property.
Solar offers a clear value proposition that is evident in the numbers of installations nationwide. There are now more than 6 million solar installations across the U.S.. The solar industry’s rapid growth shows no signs of slowing as more and more homeowners and businesses see the environmental and economic benefits of solar.
Why Solar for Your Business?
The top benefits for businesses who invest in solar are tax incentives, reduced utility expenses, improved brand reputation and differentiation, and increased operating income.
There are additional benefits of solar for businesses in Colorado as well. Commercial property owners can take advantage of production-based incentives paid out by Xcel Energy over a 20-year period. For a 500 kW system (or roughly a 75,000 square-foot rooftop), these renewable energy credits can equal more than $33,000 in the first year of incentive payouts. In addition, a system this size could reduce utility expenses by approximately $30,000 in year one alone, increasing net operating income by $63,000.
This all means that solar is no longer only a sustainability initiative, it’s also an essential investment to consider.
Why Should Your Business Invest in Solar Now?
Now is the time to capture the benefits of solar energy for your business. Tax credits are sunsetting with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB). But at Namaste Solar, we’ve locked them in for a limited number of commercial projects installed through 2029. Get in touch today to learn more about our tax advantaged projects.
In addition to the tax credit and renewable energy credits, Colorado’s Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program allows businesses to gain the benefits of solar with no money out of pocket, making these solar investments cash flow positive from day one. Building owners can bundle the cost of a new roof, solar PV system, and even LED lighting or HVAC updates into one C-PACE package for a fixed-interest loan with terms up to 25 years. This non-recourse financing is tied to the property via a special tax assessment through the county, and as a result, C-PACE financing can transfer to the next owner if the property is sold.
How Can You Gain the Benefits of Solar for Your Business?
While every commercial property owner invests in solar for a unique reason, they share a common desire to boost NOI, raise property value, and differentiate themselves in a competitive market. Could you cash in on these benefits of solar for your business or commercial property?
