What is a Client-Owned Solar System?

To put it simply, a turnkey solution that allows you to reap the greater lifetime savings and bragging rights of owning a solar system yourself.

Let us help you evaluate your business to determine your energy needs and turn underutilized property space (roof etc.) into realized electricity cost savings. The required upfront investment pays for itself in just a few years and every watt generated thereafter is completely free, clean energy.

Solar Is Rewarding

To accelerate the adoption of solar energy, federal and state governments offer enticing solar incentives and rebates all across the country, making it easier than ever to install.

Federal Solar ITC

The solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a 30% federal tax credit that supports the growth of solar energy in the United States. Certain projects may qualify for additional federal tax credits based on location and community benefit.

5-Year MACRS

An additional federal incentive allows businesses to depreciate their solar systems using a 5-year MACRS schedule though the useful life of a solar system is 30-35 years.

MACRS is an IRS guideline which grants income tax deductions for certain assets and a shorter schedule means a quicker recovery period for those deductions.

State & Local

Many state and local governments and utilities often offer their own incentives for solar in addition to federal benefits.

These incentives include Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) which are generated when a solar system produces a specified unit of electricity and delivers it to the grid. SRECs can be sold in open markets or to utilities themselves and represent an additional revenue source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is solar energy right for my business?

Solar energy is most impactful for businesses that:

Use a large amount of power

Solar arrays are sized to your business’ energy needs, and pricing under Uneva’s options will provide savings for 30 or more years into the future. The more energy your business uses, the more you can save with a solar array!

Reside in high-cost energy markets

Solar is quickly becoming the cheapest option for power generation nationwide, and in many markets, is already the cheapest source of energy. If electric rates in your area are high, a solar array will be able to provide savings from day 1, and provide a hedge against rising energy costs over the decades.

Are looking to go ‘Green’

While solar pays for itself in a very short time due to the tax benefits (through the Solar Investment Tax Credit and depreciation benefits), and energy savings, it also increases your business’ ability to identify itself as a ‘Green’ company – something becoming more and more important in today’s sustainability-conscious business environment.
What are the differences between Client-Owned Solar Systems and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)?

A client-owned system is purchased upfront and owned outright by the purchaser. With a client-owned system there are no electric bill payments after the purchase of the system, and greater savings over the lifetime of the system. With the PPA model, the solar energy system offsets the purchaser’s electric bill and the power generated is sold to the customer at a fixed rate, typically lower that electric utility.
