Reduce Operating Costs A solar power system can reduce or eliminate your building's electric bill. Installing a solar power system is equivalent to prepaying for 40 years of power at a fraction of the cost you are currently paying. The cost/unit of energy you are currently paying is already higher than what you would be paying with solar. As rates increase this difference will only increase, leading to increased savings over the life of the system. Take Advantage of Government Rebates and Tax Credits Designed to encourage utility customers to generate their own solar power, these programs can pay for a significant portion of the total system cost. All investor owned utility customers (PG&E, SDG&E, and SCE) are eligible for the two state rebate programs. Most government and non-profit organizations will not be able to take advantage of tax credits or accelerated depreciated. However, there are creative financing methods that can be employed to reduce the cost to the organization while allowing a 3rd party to take advantage of the tax incentives.
