Take Advantage of Government Rebates & Tax Credits

Designed to encourage businesses to generate their own solar power, these programs can pay for up to 70% of the total system cost. These programs include direct rebates, tax credits, loan programs and other financial incentives. The State of California offers substantial rebates for both large and small commercial solar electric systems through the California Solar Initiative (CSI).

Depending on the size of your facility, you may qualify for either the Expected Performance Based Buydown (EPBB) or a Performance Based Incentive (PBI) program. These rebates can cover as much as 40% of the total system cost. Different states and counties all have different rebates. For more detailed information concerning commercial renewable energy tax credits, follow this link to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency.

The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is a 5 year accelerated depreciation used to recover the basis of most business and investment property placed in service after 1986. MACRS consists of two depreciation systems, the General Depreciation System (GDS) and the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS). Generally, these systems provide different methods and recovery periods to use in figuring depreciation deductions. For more detail see http://www.irs.gov/publications/p946/ch04.html.
