Western Solar is one of the leading small-mid scale commercial solar installers in the State of Washington.<\/span>\u00a0If you own your own business and the building you operate in, you can likely significantly lower your operating costs by installing a solar system. In addition to the financial benefits, going solar is also a great way to distinguish your business from your competition both to potential customers and employees.<\/span><\/p>\n In Washington State, all solar systems up to 100kW AC are eligible for retail-rate Net Metering. This means that businesses can enjoy the same free exchange of energy credits with their utility<\/a> as a residential customer. Systems over 100kW AC can take advantage of self-consumption or utility PPAs (power purchase agreements) to save money on their utility bills.<\/span><\/p>\n Business are also eligible for a Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on their solar system. Projects that start by Dec 31, 2032 are eligible for a 30% tax credit upon completion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Unlike the residential tax credit, which is dependent on the year the system is put into service, the federal tax credit for businesses can be based on the year work starts on the solar system. This means that, provided a business owner signs a contract and invests 5% of the project cost in equipment before the end of the tax year, they can lock in their tax credit rate and then have up to four years to complete construction of the solar system and put it into service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNet Metering for Businesses<\/h2>\n
