Solar financing can be complicated. Less experienced finance teams leave you open to added costs and delays.
We’ve helped secure financing for large solar power plants, small family businesses and public projects. In fact, we provide access to Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for smaller systems that have historically been challenged to find a financier. In addition, Summit Solar Corp has deep expertise helping our customers use public financing, like Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) and special government programs.

A photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is composed of solar panels, racking for mounting the panels on the roof, electrical wiring, and an inverter.
From sunrise to sunset, the solar panels generate direct current electricity (DC) which is sent to the inverter. The inverter converts the DC into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity required for household use. The AC power is delivered directly to your home.
Time is money, it’s true. And in the case of energy, time costs more money every year. Electricity rates go up year after year, and are impossible to predict. Investing in solar now protects your business from price volatility. Depending on your location and whether you choose to buy or lease your solar system, you can lock in low electricity rates for 20 years or more, and even eliminate 100% of your electricity bill.
While it may sound daunting to learn about an entirely new form of energy, we are here to help. Summit Solar has helped thousands of businesses just like yours go solar. We will guide you through the steps to taking your business solar – which are simpler than you might imagine.
When integrating solar technology with an energy storage solution, it takes a high degree of experience and knowledge to ensure solar panels and solar batteries work together in a way that helps your organization realize its energy goals. Solar installations alone generate energy on-site and provide savings by reducing your net consumption of energy from the grid.
Adding battery storage to your solar installation helps increase savings by reducing the demand charge component of your utility bill. Summit Solar's commercial storage solutions can lower monthly demand charges with our intelligent control system, which uses advanced predictive analytics to manage the solar battery in real-time.

It’s important to minimize shading because solar panels operate at optimal output when their entire surface is fully exposed to direct sunlight. The system will still produce energy if it is shaded but its output will lessen.
Summot Solar will evaluate your particular situation and provide solar options for you. You can also read whether your home is a good candidate for solar to help when making the decision whether going solar is right for you.
For any business, finding new sources of capital to reinvest in the company can be difficult. Solar saves your business money that would otherwise be spent on utility bills. The bottom-line benefits are undeniable.
According to a recent survey, 87% of business respondents cite saving money as one of the primary reasons for funding solar projects—with some projected to save hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) in electricity costs over the life of their commercial solar panel system.* That’s money that directly impacts your bottom line.

As a commercial customer, you likely see—and pay for—two types of charges on your monthly utility bill. The first of these is your energy charge, which is calculated by multiplying your total energy use for the month (measured in kilowatt-hours) by your energy rate. The other charge you’ll see on your monthly bill is what’s known as a demand charge and is typically calculated by looking at the greatest amount of power (measured in kilowatts) you need during any of the thousands of "demand intervals" that make up a billing cycle.*
In most instances, a demand meter literally measures (and averages) your power "demand" in 15-minute timeframes throughout the month, and reports this information back to your utility.* This reported peak-kilowatt level is then multiplied by a specific rate, which determines your demand charges. For example, if your utility charges $10 per kilowatt (kW) per month, and your peak-demand interval power requirement is 100 kW within a month, you’ll pay $1,000 in demand charges that month ($10 x 100 kW). Remember, this is on top of your energy charges.
Choosing to go solar isn’t just a financial decision. It’s an environmental choice. Businesses that cultivate a focus on sustainability are experiencing powerful brand effects. A solar panel system on your business makes a strong statement to your customers.
Their relationship with your brand grows. Employees walk just a little bit taller knowing the business they work for is running on clean energy. Study after study shows that sustainability isn’t just good for the planet; it’s good for business.*

Costs vary from project to project and are impacted by many factors—project location, utility rates, available tax incentives and more are all key considerations in determining the value of commercial battery storage solutions.
Summit Solar will work with you to develop a thorough analysis of your unique situation and help determine if integrating solar energy storage is the right choice for you.
The truth is, more people are going solar now than ever have before. Over the last ten years, solar has grown at an average annual rate of 68%, and the trend shows no signs of reversing.* Fortune 500 companies have installed solar at nearly 2,000 individual project sites nationwide.*
Top corporate brands like Target, Walmart and Apple are adding solar at an impressive rate, and the influence these brands wield on consumer lives means more people are opting for clean energy of all kinds.
Your current monthly energy use and the size of your system will determine your actual savings amount. And with little or no startup costs*, systems can start paying for themselves immediately. Savings will vary based on several factors, including system size, performance, your household's average energy usage as well as any applicable solar credits, tax incentives, and current solar energy buyback (net metering) rates offered by your utility company.
A detailed calculation of your potential return on investment (ROI) will be provided by Summit Solar during your solar evaluation. Get more information about what goes into calculating home solar panel system costs and other important solar energy questions to ask your installer.

When solar and battery storage are purchased as a joint solution, the combined system is eligible for the Federal ITC. However, if solar energy storage solutions are secured independently and added to an existing solar installation, the solar battery portion of that system will not be eligible for the ITC.
That said, tax credits are subject to change and Summit Solar does not warrant, guarantee or otherwise advise its partners or customers about specific tax outcomes. We suggest that you consult with your tax advisor regarding the solar tax credit and how it applies to your specific circumstances. You can also visit www.dsireusa.org for detailed solar policy information.
The longer you wait to think about solar, the more it costs your business. Commercial prices for solar have decreased 58% since 2012.* However, recent policy decisions suggest we may be nearing the bottom of that downward trajectory.
The federal investment tax credit (ITC) for solar is equal to 30% of the amount invested in an eligible installation (e.g., if you invest $100,000 in solar, you could receive a $30,000 tax credit).
However, the ITC rate will decrease to 26% in 2020, 22% in 2021, and 10% after 2021. Meantime, electricity prices continue to increase year over year. The sooner you decide to go solar, the more you can save.

Summit Solar has a wide variety of financing options, including some that don't require you to pay any upfront costs if you qualify. The cost of your solar system depends on several factors, including your current energy usage, your available amount of unshaded roof space, your local utility’s net metering policy, and other factors.
