Planning your 2026 budget? How much of your bottom line is consumed by your monthly utility bill?
Lowest-cost solar could be your best solution to operation cost savings in 2026 and beyond. Incentives could help make it possible, and could give you a competitive edge.
New Solar Alliance Sales Director Erik Melang says, “Several of the most favorable federal grant incentives for commercial solar and battery projects are scheduled to rachet down or will expire in 2026. For many businesses, the next 12 to 18 months represent the strongest financial window we’ll see for capitalizing on the 30% ITC and bonus depreciation.”
How can your business claim all of the clean energy incentives it deserves? It depends on which timeline you follow, as described in this earlier 2025 IRS notice about beginning construction on energy projects. We suggest having your accountant review all of the IRS guidance to see how you qualify. The window is beginning to close on these benefits for your business, so the time to act is now!
Another reason why now? Not only could you qualify for tax incentives, but your energy costs are only predicted to get higher in the coming years. This news report sums up how nationwide, energy rates are rising at double the rate of inflation. Creating your own on-site energy is one way to hedge against this rising expense.
If you decide to make this financial move to invest in lowest-cost clean energy, Solar Alliance is here to design and build it for you. We are your commercial solar experts in the Southeast.
