Incentives for clean power

AGRICULTURAL CLIENTS
If you are in the agriculture industry, small or large, livestock, forestry, hydroponics, nursery stock or aquaculture, you could benefit from design and installation of PV solar systems. Over time, energy efficiency will reduce costs of operation conserving cash previously needed to pay for energy. Solar energy can provide energy in areas where it is costly to connect to the grid and help reduce demand charges for your business.

Federal Tax Credit
The Federal government offers a 30% rebate of the net system cost of solar power systems, with no cap.

Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System (MACRS)
An additional tax credit advantage of an accelerated 5-year depreciation of your net solar system investment. These provisions are found in IRC section 179.

SOLAR REBATE PROGRAMS BY STATE -
AGRICULTURAL

Solar Programs in various states have been developed to assist in up front investment. SunTechnics has experience in assisting our clients with obtaining rebates and grants. We have worked with all the state programs. Please feel free to contact us to obtain more information.

California - Expected Performance Based Buydown (EPBB)
The rebate payment is as much as $1.90 per watt installed. This rebate is available to any installation under 100 kilowatt (kWp). This is a one-time rebate paid out by the State after the system is installed, which SunTechnics will carry, so that you will only manage the net investment.

California - Performance Based Incentive (PBI)
Rebate payments are as much as $.26 per kilowatt hour. Every system over 100 kWp in size will automatically default to this incentive, but smaller systems can also opt-in if they determine it a better benefit. The PBI is a monthly rebate payment over a five year span, which is determined by the actual energy produced. The payment that you qualify for remains the same for the life of the rebate.

Pennsylvania - Energy Harvest and PEDA grants available for commercial, non-profit and municipal customers. Small Business Advantage grants also available. We will assist you in preparing the applications. Pa is moving to a Renewable Energy Credit (REC) based market. Every solar kWh produced has a REC associated with it. These RECs are tradable on the market and will offset the capital cost of any installation.

New Jersey - Commercial rebates are based upon system size as described: 10,001 to 40,000 watts $2.75/watt $2.50/watt 40,001 to 100,000 watts $2.50/watt 100,001 to 500,000 watts $2.25/watt 500,001 to 700,000 watts $2.00/watt. Also available are the Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs).

Delaware - rebates upto $250,000 for commercial installations

New York - $4.00/watt rebate market

Maryland - $3,000 for residential, $5000 for commercial, owner retains RECs
