Who we serve

Small businesses & industrial

Small business owners feel the monthly bill pain immediately. Warehouse and industrial buyers think in ROI timelines and depreciation. We speak both languages.

Retail & restaurants

High daytime energy use aligns perfectly with solar production. Meaningful monthly savings from day one.

Office buildings

Reduce overhead, stabilize energy costs, and demonstrate sustainability commitments to clients and tenants.

Warehouse & industrial

Large roof areas = large systems = accelerated payback. MACRS depreciation changes the math dramatically.

Federal incentives

Three reasons the numbers work

30%
Federal ITC

Direct credit against your federal tax bill in year one. $100K system = $30K off your taxes.

MACRS
5-yr accelerated depreciation

Depreciate 85% of system cost over 5 years. Significant additional savings on top of the ITC.

Net
Metering credits

Excess production earns utility credits. Your meter runs backward when you're over-producing.
