Don’t Wait and Risk Missing These Major Solar Credits
There has never been a better—or more urgent—time for businesses to go solar. Now through July 2026, there’s a limited window to lock in major Safe Harbor benefits that could dramatically reduce (or even eliminate) the cost of switching to solar.
Here’s what makes this moment so powerful:
- 30% Federal Tax Credit: Instantly reduce your project cost.
- 100% Depreciation: Write off the entire system much faster than normal.
- Up to 3 Years of Back Pay: Recover taxes you’ve already paid.
On top of that, many businesses qualify for additional state and federal incentives based on their specific location, further increasing savings.
One Bay Area commercial customer recently leveraged these available incentives to save millions on their solar and battery project. Here are their real numbers:
| Solar PV System Costs and Incentives | |
| Cost for Solar PV System | $3,496,681 |
| Federal 100% Depreciation Bonus | -$970,329 |
| Federal ITC | -$1,748,341 |
| State Depreciation (PV) | -$430,092 |
| Net Solar PV System Cost | $347,919 |
| ESS Costs and Incentives | |
| Cost for ESS | $550,000 |
| Federal 100% Depreciation Bonus | -$162,800 |
| Federal ITC | -$220,000 |
| State Depreciation (ESS) | -$67,650 |
| Net ESS Cost | $99,550 |
| Full Financial Breakdown | |
| Total Solar & ESS Cost | $4,046,681 |
| Net Cost After Savings | $447,469 |
| Total Savings | $3,599,212 (Over 88%) |
A project that would have cost over $4 million is on track to pay for itself and start paying them back within just a couple years.
These incentives are only available through July 2026, and more businesses are rushing to secure them. Getting started now allows you to lock in today’s benefits before the deadline rush—and still gives you four calendar years to complete the project.
If your business uses a lot of power, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Share your usage now and see what’s possible while these benefits are still on the table.
And if you know a business owner who should hear this, pass it along. These savings won’t last forever.
