If you are a business owner, you may not be aware that the State of Pennsylvania is currently offering you a significant reduction in the cost of solar to you. The PA State Sunshine Rebate Program has already helped many business owners in and around Philadelphia switch to solar, who are now enjoying reduced electricity bills, added income and the feeling of knowing they’re doing something great for the environment.

The PA State Sunshine Rebate has single handedly catapulted Pennsylvania to the third highest solar installed state in the US, behind California and New Jersey. The reason for this is simple – the great return on investment. While the rebates significantly reduce the cost of solar, annually paid Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (a type of carbon credit that you sell) and offset electricity enable most systems to pay for themselves within just six years. Solar system owners then enjoy many years of free income, while reducing their carbon footprint, and enhancing their company’s social responsibility profile.

Although the current ROI on solar is better than it has ever been, the PA rebate will not be around forever. In fact, rebate applications are tipped to close early in the new year. Currently, the PA solar rebate helps to reduce the cost of solar to business owners by up to 15%, in addition to the 30% Federal Income Tax Credit. Combined, that’s nearly 50% of the system cost covered by government rebates. Business owners wanting to secure a rebate can still do so, but they need to act fast.
