Lower Energy Costs and Increased Profitability: Electricity bills take up a significant portion of operating expenses. Solar allows you to generate your own power, cutting or even eliminating your dependence on the grid. Lower overhead costs mean better cash flow and more money to reinvest in your business.

Financing Options: Making Solar Affordable
Switching to solar comes with upfront costs, but the right financing plan makes it a smart, manageable investment. With multiple options available, you can go solar without straining your budget. Whether you want to own your system outright or pay as you go, there’s a financing solution that fits your needs.
-
Solar Loans: A solar loan allows you to own your system while keeping monthly payments low. With competitive interest rates and flexible terms, this option makes it easier to start saving on energy costs right away. Since you own the system, you also qualify for tax credits, depreciation benefits, and state incentives, helping you recover costs faster.
-
Solar Leases: A lease gives you access to solar power without upfront costs. Instead of buying the system, you make a fixed monthly payment to use the energy it produces. Maintenance and repairs are covered by the provider, so you don’t have to worry about upkeep. This is a great option for businesses that want lower energy costs without committing to system ownership.
-
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): With a PPA, you only pay for the electricity your system generates. The solar provider owns and maintains the system, so there’s no installation cost or maintenance responsibility on your end. Your business benefits from lower energy rates compared to traditional utility prices, helping you save money from day one.
-
PACE Financing: Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing allows businesses to fund solar installations through their property tax bill. Instead of taking out a traditional loan, you repay the cost over time with terms that can extend up to 20 years. Because payments are linked to the property, PACE financing makes solar more accessible for businesses that want to preserve cash flow.
-
Finding the Right Financing Plan: Each business has different financial goals, and our team is here to help you choose the best approach. We’ll break down the costs, incentives, and expected savings for each option so you can make an informed decision. No matter your budget, there’s a way to switch to solar and start saving.
Tax Incentives and Grants for Solar Energy
Delaware offers several tax incentives, grants, and rebates that make solar energy more affordable for homeowners and businesses. They include:
-
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows homeowners and businesses to deduct 30% of their total solar installation costs from their federal taxes.
-
Delaware Green Energy Program: Delaware provides cash rebates through the Green Energy Program, helping residents and businesses lower installation costs. Customers of Delmarva Power can receive up to $0.60 per watt, with a maximum rebate of $6,000 for residential systems and $10,000 for commercial installations. For those served by the Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC), rebate amounts change periodically based on funding availability
-
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs): In addition to net metering, Delaware solar system owners can earn Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs). For every megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity your system produces, you receive one SREC, which can then be sold to utility companies.
-
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for Businesses: Businesses investing in solar energy can take advantage of the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which allows them to recover installation costs through accelerated depreciation.
-
Property and Sales Tax Benefits: Delaware does not charge sales tax on solar equipment, which immediately lowers upfront costs for both homeowners and businesses.
-
USDA REAP Grant (For Rural Businesses & Farms): Agricultural businesses and rural small businesses in Delaware may qualify for funding through the USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). This grant covers up to 50% of the total cost of a solar installation, helping farms and rural businesses reduce their energy expenses.
Long-Term Savings: What to Expect
Solar energy delivers long-term financial benefits. Over time, lower electricity costs, tax incentives, and increased property value make solar a strong investment for businesses across Delaware.
Lower Energy Bills
Producing your own electricity means immediate and lasting savings. Many businesses cut their electricity costs by 50% to 80%, and some eliminate them entirely. With net metering, excess energy sent to the grid earns credits, further reducing what you pay. Instead of dealing with fluctuating utility rates, you gain greater control over monthly expenses.
Strong Return on Investment (ROI)
Most solar systems pay for themselves in six to eight years, depending on incentives and energy usage. After that, the electricity generated is essentially free for the remainder of the system’s lifespan, which typically exceeds 25 years. The savings add up to tens of thousands of dollars, making solar one of the best investments for businesses.
Higher Property Value
Commercial buildings with solar systems sell faster and at higher prices than those without. Buyers recognize the advantage of moving into a property with lower energy costs and built-in energy independence. Solar adds value in a competitive market by making properties more appealing to energy-conscious buyers.
Protection from Rising Utility Rates
Electricity rates continue to increase, but solar provides a way to lock in energy savings. Instead of being subject to unpredictable price hikes, you produce your own power, shielding your business from long-term energy inflation. This level of cost predictability makes it easier to manage budgets and plan for the future.
Decades of Savings and Stability
Solar panels are designed to last 25 years or more, delivering consistent savings for decades. Unlike traditional energy sources, which fluctuate in price and availability, solar provides a stable, reliable source of power. With proper maintenance and system monitoring, your solar investment keeps paying off year after year.
Our Commercial Solar Installation Process
At Solair Green Energy Advisors, we make switching to solar straightforward. Our team handles every detail, from planning and permitting to installation and ongoing system monitoring. Here’s what to expect when you work with us.
Step 1: Consultation and Energy Analysis
We start by reviewing your energy usage, roof space, and solar potential. Our team evaluates factors like sun exposure, peak energy demand, and available incentives to determine the best system for your business. You'll receive a customized savings estimate and a clear breakdown of installation costs and financing options.
Step 2: System Design and Engineering
Once you decide to move forward, our engineers design a system compatible with your energy needs, roof structure, and long-term goals. Every component, from panel placement to inverter selection, is carefully planned to maximize energy production and ensure long-term reliability.
Step 3: Permitting & Approvals
Our team handles all local building permits, interconnection agreements, and utility approvals. We’ll make sure that everything about your solar energy system meets regulatory requirements before installation begins.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Once permits are secured, our trained installers get to work. We use high-quality mounting systems to ensure panels are securely placed for maximum sunlight exposure. Most installations take one to three days, depending on system size and complexity. Throughout the process, we coordinate with local inspectors and utility providers to keep everything on schedule.
Step 5: Inspection & Activation
After installation, your system must pass a final inspection before activation. We work with local authorities and your utility company to complete this step as quickly as possible. Once approved, your solar system is connected to the grid, and you can start generating clean, renewable energy.
Step 6: Ongoing Monitoring & Support
A well-monitored system provides the best long-term savings. Our team tracks energy production to ensure everything operates as expected. If adjustments or maintenance are needed, we provide support to keep your system running at peak performance for years to come.
