11 Reasons to Consider Solar Power for Your Business - PV Consult

The South African Government has removed the threshold for private electricity provision. This is great news because it means that businesses can generate solar p[power without requiring a license.
You will still need to comply with technical and environmental standards and will definitely still need to contract a registered and accredited solar power consultant
But you can now start “selling back” excess power to Eskom (or City of Cape town as the case may be) saving you money on your electricity spend and generating an additional revenue stream.

The Solar power and renewable energy industry have made significant strides in advancing and improving its technology. These days solar PV panels are not only more efficient in producing electricity but in some cases, have decreased radically in price.

Businesses that install solar power also receive incentives under South Africa’s power plan which will further offset the cost of rooftop solar power installations.
Businesses that install solar panels will also benefit from Eskom’s pricing structure and which allows them to sell excess solar energy back to Eskom

The South African government has eliminated much of the red tape to installing large solar projects and even the banks have offered their support.

Most major banks in South Africa (including; FNB, Standard Bank and Nebdbank) offer finance for large solar PV projects. You could structure a deal where you don’t take any risk on the investment.

Navigating the process of commercial Solar PV installations can be challenging, but with InPower’s Finance solutions it doesn’t have to be

InPower offers a unique finance solution that helps you get cash back from your first month after installation, without taking any of the risks.

Is your organization looking for a commercial solar company?

Whether you manage a large corporation, run a small business, own a farm, sit on the board of a nonprofit, help administer a government agency or anything in between, finding the right fit in such a crowded marketplace can be challenging.

Enter Sunnova, a leading energy-as-a-service (EaaS) provider for the United States and its territories for more than a decade.

In , we set out to create a better energy service at a better price to help more people gain energy independence. Since then, nearly a quarter million homeowners have trusted us to provide clean, affordable and reliable energy.

Now, we’re leveraging our 10+ years of residential solar experience and extensive dealer network to help businesses and public institutions of all sizes and sectors take control of their energy costs.

Here are five reasons why Sunnova is the commercial solar company you want to partner with.

1. We’re a Better Energy Service

It's no secret that electricity usage can be one of the biggest and most unpredictable costs facing your company. From November to November , the average kWh price of electricity in the U.S. commercial sector jumped more than 10% — and in states like California and Hawaii, north of 25%.*

Annual electricity rate hikes are now the expected norm.* From to , average electricity prices for the commercial sector rose 5% — from to , they’re forecast to grow 8.5%.*

Sunnova can help your business take control of electricity costs by transitioning you to solar power and battery storage, the latter of which allows you to store the energy from solar panels to use when the sun isn’t shining (or the grid goes down).

Our in-house engineering team works with a local dealer near you to design a commercial solar program tailored to your specific energy needs and local utility rate structures.

The resulting system can unlock:

• Greater budget certainty
• Smaller carbon footprint
• More predictable energy costs
• Reduced demand charges and resilient backup power for your essential equipment with solar + battery storage
• Additional revenue streams like selling excess solar power back to the grid through net metering, or participating in local grid services

Sunnova makes no guarantees regarding credit for net energy exported to the electric grid and states’ policies regarding net metering may change over time.

We give you the best of both worlds — local dealers with local knowledge, all backed by one of the nation’s best EaaS providers.

3. We Have the Right Financing Option for You

Sticker shock stemming from the upfront cost of a commercial solar system can be a big hurdle for businesses looking to make the switch. Knowing about and having access to the right financing options and incentives helps make the investment in solar for your business much more palatable.

Depending on which state(s) your organization is in, there may be attractive incentives offered by your local and/or state government to adopt solar power.

This is on top of the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, a federal bill that extended the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for the next 10 years and increased the rate to 30%. This federal tax credit enables commercial customers who own their systems to claim a one-time credit on the installed cost of their solar — and now battery storage —systems.

Your purchase may render you eligible for a federal tax credit. Tax incentives are subject to change or termination by executive, legislative or regulatory action. Sunnova makes no guarantees or representations regarding eligibility and does not provide tax advice. Contact your personal tax advisor for eligibility requirements.

Beyond incentives, how you finance your commercial solar panels matters too. Whether you want to pay via lease, loan or cash, Sunnova has the financing option that’s right for you:

Commercial Solar Loan

• Up to 25-year term
• You can own your commercial solar system and spread the cost out over time while collecting tax incentives

You may be eligible for a federal tax credit with the purchase of a solar system. To qualify for the tax credit, you must have federal income tax liability at least equal to the value of the tax credit. Tax incentives are subject to change or termination by executive, legislative or regulatory action. Sunnova makes no guarantees regarding eligibility of any of the system’s costs for tax benefits. Sunnova does not provide tax advice. Contact your tax advisor for eligibility requirements.

Commercial Solar Lease

• Up to 25-year term, with buyout options at years five and 15
• You can transition to solar without significantly impacting cash flow

Commercial Solar Cash Purchase

• Paid outright with no impact to your debt-to-income ratio
• You can take advantage of tax incentives and save more over time versus a loan/lease

You may be eligible for a federal tax credit with the purchase of a solar system. To qualify for the tax credit, you must have federal income tax liability at least equal to the value of the tax credit. Tax incentives are subject to change or termination by executive, legislative or regulatory action. Sunnova makes no guarantees regarding eligibility of any of the system’s costs for tax benefits. Sunnova does not provide tax advice. Contact your tax advisor for eligibility requirements.

Refer to the Limited Warranty agreement for complete warranty terms and limitations on the battery, including the specifications for energy retention over the life of the battery.

5. We Strive for Sustainability

Adopting commercial solar isn’t just good for your bottom line — it’s also good for the environment. Solar power can aid your ESG reporting because it allows for the generation of emissions-free renewable energy and can be counted as a renewable source of energy as long as the energy is not also sold as Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). In some markets, if Sunnova owns the system, we may sell the RECs and in those cases, you can not report it on your ESG report as that would be considered double dipping.

The electricity generated from your commercial solar system can satisfy a portion of your facility’s onsite power load, in turn limiting the electricity pulled from the grid, which is often generated from pollution-heavy fossil fuels.

At Sunnova we understand the importance of ESG and take our responsibility of enabling carbon emission reduction seriously. In fact, in alone, 2.6 million carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) were avoided from solar systems in use by our customers.

And by year-end , we plan to build a customer base whose solar systems are expected to offset 52 million metric tons of carbon dioxide over their useful life. We also plan to institute a supplier engagement system to quantify ESG impacts for all our Tier 1 solar suppliers.*
