Federal Incentives Boost Commercial Solar Investment
As energy costs rise and federal incentives are set to change, businesses across the United States are accelerating their plans to install commercial solar systems. Facility Solutions Group, known as FSG, is helping companies take advantage of current federal incentives that can significantly lower the cost of solar installations.
Maximizing Tax Credits and Depreciation Benefits
Under current federal policy, eligible businesses can use a 30 percent Investment Tax Credit combined with bonus depreciation to reduce solar project costs. These incentives together can cover up to 60 percent of total system costs, making commercial solar one of the most financially compelling capital investments available today.
Why the Incentive Window Is Time Sensitive
Changes scheduled for 2026 could reduce or eliminate these incentives for projects that do not begin construction in time. Because commercial solar installations typically require more than a year for engineering, permitting, utility approvals, and installation, planning and action now can preserve eligibility for the strongest financial benefits.
Business Case for Acting Now
Federal incentives are not the only reason companies are moving quickly. Solar energy can help businesses hedge against rising utility rates by offering predictable energy costs and long‑term savings backed by system warranties. FSG provides a turnkey solar solution that includes incentive strategy, design, installation, and ongoing monitoring to support clients from initial planning through long‑term operation.
Expert Perspective on Commercial Solar Value
Michael Cataline, a commercial solar expert at FSG, explained that incentives available today can dramatically shorten the payback period for solar investments and help companies avoid rising energy costs in the future. He emphasized that starting early protects these incentives and improves financial outcomes for businesses going solar.
Investment Outlook
The current incentive structure for commercial solar presents a strong opportunity for investors and corporate decision‑makers. With federal support available now and scheduled changes on the horizon, companies that move quickly can secure significant tax benefits and cost savings. Commercial solar not only offers operational cost relief but also supports long‑term sustainability goals and predictable energy pricing, making it a highly attractive strategic investment in the energy transition.
