GOOD NEWS! Going Solar in Washington is Now More Affordable and Cost Effective than Ever Before!
Now is the perfect time to take advantage of a wide range of Washington State and Federal government incentive programs to offset your renewable energy system costs and make your solar electric or hot water system more affordable, cost effective and even more profitable than ever before!
Washington Commercial Solar Incentives - Solar power is one of the smartest investments that businesses can make.
Solar power allows your business to:
- Control your energy costs
- Reduce your electricity bills
- Hedge against future utility rate hikes
- Protect the environment
Now is a great time for your business to invest in solar power!
30% Federal Tax Credit - For systems placed into service, receive a 30% tax credit on the installed cost of your solar electric or solar hot water system until December 31, 2016.
Washington State 5101 & 6170 Program - The State of Washington, in an effort to promote renewable electricity generation, is purchasing solar generation at 15 cents/kWh until July 2020. If the inverter is manufactured in Washington state the $.15 is boosted to $.18/kWh. Solar modules made in WA earn $.36/kWh and if both models and inverter are made in WA you earn $.54/kWh (see explanation below about WA made modules).
Net Metering - All Solar electricity generated that is not used at time of generation will be fed back to the utility grid, so that your green power can be used by other people. During these times your utility meter will actually run backwards so that you are credited for this power. Your utility bill at the end of the month will be the difference of what you generated and consumed. For those summer months that you generate more than you consume, these "credits" will be forwarded to you the next month. Not only do you offset your electric bill by every solar kWh you generate, but you get the 6170 incentives for every single solar kWh even the kWh that you use!
Your Solar Generated Revenue - The great news is that you get to harvest ALL of these solar benefits! You can expect to realize 18 to 28 cents/kWh for your solar generated electricity.
No Washington State Sales Tax - There will be no state sales tax on the entire cost of your installed solar energy system. This applies to solar electric systems.
5-Year Accelerated Depreciation for Home Based Businesses - Home based businesses qualify for a full 5-year MACRS accelerated depreciation tax deduction on the entire cost of the system.
Increased property value - Installing a solar electric or solar hot water system adds resale value to your property and makes it more attractive to prospective buyers.
