A Wise Power System Offers More Bottom-Line Benefits for Businesses including:

Increased profits – Cheaper energy supply as part of your over-head means higher profit margins!

More control of your operations with independence from power failures – If you choose to include battery back up components in your system, you will be able to stay up and running even during a grid supplied power outage.  Less down time = greater competitiveness and productivity.

Ability to project your future budgets more accurately – knowing that you have contained your electricity costs; you can allot the savings to other areas of your budget, and grow your business.

Commercial leasing allows the depreciation of financed equipment from business taxes – 7 year, 100% financing is available for the out-of-pocket costs on commercial systems, to those businesses that qualify.  With a $1 buy-back offer at the end of leasing term the system becomes fully owned business capital.  While leasing, your business can benefit from attractive depreciation tax deductions.

The Intangible Benefits Might Mean Even More to the Success of Your Business…

As a business owner or key business decision maker, you know the benefit of good public relations, and the incomparable value of a shining public image.  You can turn an operating expense into an image asset. Opting to be a part of the ‘energy solution’ instead of a part of ‘the energy problem’ is great for any company’s image!  Will your company be one of the first of its kind, or the first in your neighborhood or city to ‘go green’?

When your company invests in renewable energy, it demonstrates a leadership role in the community.  The public will view your company as a responsible steward of the environment.

With wars in the Middle East, rising oil prices and issues of climate change making so many news headlines, being perceived as ‘a green company’ has real economic ramifications for your business!  There is plenty of evidence to support that concern for the environment is a motivating factor for consumers – across demographics – when making their purchasing choices.  When a customer thinks of you as ‘greener’ than your competition, it can give you a competitive edge.  Marketing ‘green’ has never been so popular, and there is a reason for it.  Climate change and environmental crisis have entered the public awareness, and there is no turning back!  ‘Going green’ is not just for ‘tree huggers’ anymore.  Will you choose to reap the rewards of branding your company as ‘a leader on the road to energy independence’?  Will your competition?

You Have My Attention – Show Me The Numbers!

Now you have seen how investing in a Wise Power System can pay huge dividends for your business.  Let us take a closer look at how the economics can work out advantageously for the forward-thinking business owner.

First, Uncle Sam wants to reward your decision to invest in renewable energy production.  Commercial investment in solar energy can take a whopping tax credit for 30% of the system cost! Now THAT is a powerful incentive to take a step toward energy independence!

In addition to the Federal Tax Credit, you may be eligible for substantial rebates, and/or tax credits from States, municipalities or utility companies – depending on the location of your site.  Delaware businesses, for example, can claim up to 50% of the installed system cost – capped at $250,000, from the Green Energy Fund.

If you missed the details on the previous page, you can check them out here: Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (it is up-dated frequently).

Combine the rebates, tax credits and the ability to finance (and then depreciate) the out-of-pocket costs and it all adds up to one sweet deal!  If you own a business that relies upon electricity, then you owe it to yourself, your business and your community to take advantage of the great incentives and financing available right now, to invest in a cleaner, brighter future.
