Commercial Projects (Municipal, Non-Profit and For-Profit)

Business/property owners and facility managers understand heating a building can be costly. With energy prices rising 3-5% annually on average, a solar hot water commercial system for domestic hot water can help substantially reduce cost. Our energy modeling & financial analysis tools detail the best system for your needs and outlines all the benefits & incentives of a solar hot water system.

Project cost can be reduced with the below incentives and tax credits from 75% – 85% of the total project cost*.

Alternative Portfolio Standard (APS):
Project owners receive Alternative Energy Credits (AEC) for the energy they produce from their system. Metering allows us to track and log the energy produced and with a formula created by the DOER and monitored by MassCEC we translate those therms into AECs. Those credits are multiplied by the current market value of an AEC and a net metering aggregator facilitates turning those AECs into real dollars on the open market. We can help with that process to make it easy for you.

Federal and State Tax Credits:
Federal tax credits and depreciation benefits for commercial projects are applicable and should be discussed with your tax advisor to take full advantage. Federal information can be found here.

*Municipal projects do not receive tax credits. Project cost savings can range from 60% to 70% with the above incentives.
