Why Commercial Solar Is a Smart Business Investment
Commercial solar panels can help businesses reduce electricity costs, improve long-term cost predictability and generate more of their electricity on-site.
Reduce Your Operating Costs
Generate electricity directly from your property and reduce the amount of power your business needs to purchase from the grid. A properly designed commercial solar system can lower electricity costs and reduce exposure to future utility rate increases.
Improve Long-Term ROI
Commercial solar panels are a long-term investment that can generate energy savings for decades. Many projects can achieve payback in approximately 5–7 years, depending on system size, electricity use, utility rates, available incentives and financing.
Manage Peak Demand & Add Backup Power
Pair solar with battery storage to help manage peak electricity demand, store energy for later use and improve energy resilience. When designed for backup operation, battery storage can also help keep critical loads powered during grid outages.
Improve Performance & NOI
For building owners, landlords and developers, reducing electricity expenses can improve operating performance and net operating income (NOI), while adding a long-term energy asset to the property.
Calgary Commercial Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)
Eligible Calgary commercial property owners may be able to finance up to 100% of qualifying energy efficiency and renewable energy project costs, up to a maximum of $1 million, through the Commercial Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP).
Financing is repaid through the property’s tax bill, with repayment terms of up to 20 years depending on the lifespan of the improvements. Program availability, eligibility and financing terms are subject to CEIP requirements.
Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CTITC)
Eligible businesses may be able to claim a refundable federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit of up to 30% on qualifying clean technology property, including eligible solar PV equipment.
The credit available depends on project eligibility and applicable federal requirements, including labour requirements for the full credit rate. Businesses should consult their tax advisor to determine eligibility and the tax treatment of their project.
Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA)
Qualifying solar equipment may be eligible for accelerated capital cost allowance, allowing businesses to deduct eligible capital costs more quickly for tax purposes.
Accelerated depreciation can improve the after-tax economics of a commercial solar investment. Eligibility and tax treatment depend on your business and project, so businesses should confirm available deductions with their tax advisor.
Carbon Credits
Depending on the project and applicable carbon market rules, some commercial solar projects may have opportunities to create value from eligible environmental attributes or carbon offsets.
Eligibility is not automatic and depends on factors including project ownership, location, applicable protocols, registration and regulatory requirements. Our team can help you explore whether carbon-market opportunities may apply to your project.
