Solar For Business

Solar and small- to medium-sized businesses are a great match. More and more companies are installing solar to cut operating costs, lock in rising energy prices and generate new income.

New England Clean Energy designs, engineers and installs solar systems for companies and municipalities throughout Central Massachusetts.

Our products include:

  • solar electric
  • solar hot water systems for water-intensive businesses such as health clubs and hospitals
  • solar parking lot lighting

A solar electric system is virtually maintenance-free and pays for itself in about four years – the shortest time ever.  After that, it generates income for six additional years, and savings for 30 or more years.

 The benefits of solar for business include:

  • Reduced operating costs through lower electric bills
  • Revenue from selling solar credits (called Solar Renewable Energy Certificates, or SRECs) for between $0.33 – $0.55 per kilowatthour
  • Increased property re-sale value
  • Tax incentives from the federal government
  • Tax deduction from the state government
  • Ability to depreciate the system over five years.
