Frequently Asked Questions

What is the commercial solar tax incentive?
Commercial solar systems qualify for the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and MACRS accelerated depreciation (5-year schedule), which together can offset 50–60% of system cost in the first year. EMP works with your CPA to maximize these benefits.
What is a demand charge and can solar reduce it?
Demand charges are fees based on your peak 15-minute power draw in a billing period — often 30–50% of a commercial electric bill. Solar combined with battery storage can significantly reduce peak demand, cutting this charge substantially.
Can EMP handle multi-site projects?
Yes — EMP manages multi-site commercial portfolios across Florida. We provide centralized project management, standardized reporting, and consistent installation quality across all locations.
What financing options are available for commercial solar?
Options include cash purchase (highest ROI), commercial loans, equipment financing, operating leases, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs where you pay per kWh generated). EMP helps you evaluate which structure best fits your business's financial situation.
How long does a commercial solar project take?
Timeline varies by system size and complexity. A typical 100–500 kW rooftop system takes 3–6 months from contract to energization, including engineering, permitting, and construction.
