Why Go Solar?
Savings, sustainability, security — all reasons that solar is increasingly becoming part of the business case for a renewable energy alternative. A range of business owners and managers have enlisted Solar Alliance to match a solar (and sometimes energy storage) solution to their business challenges. These are not quick fixes. They are long-term solutions with return on investment within a medium-range horizon. The solutions is not one-size-fits-all. It requires an eye for technical, financial and policy considerations.

Grants Help Small, Rural Businesses Go Solar
Generous Rural Energy for America Program grants have recently been reimbursing small, rural businesses for up to half the cost of installing a solar and storage renewable energy system. This significantly shortens the ROI time for these REAP grant recipients we’ve been working with. The next deadline to apply is June 30, with one more opportunity to apply wrapping up in September of 2024. REAP can benefit farmers as well as other professionals operating small businesses in communities under a modest population range. Hear from both family farm owners and an office building owner in this video:
Community Solar
Local power companies are increasingly adding renewable solar energy to their mixed portfolio of sources for providing electricity to local communities. Community Solar allows businesses and individuals to participate in the renewable transition through subscriptions, even if they can’t install their own solar array.

This is the third local utility company that has enlisted our team for a solar solution:
