COMMERCIAL SOLAR AND ENERGY STORAGE / MANAGEMENT

Save Money for Your Business

Solar (especially when paired with battery) will help you fight constantly rising energy prices and manage your budgets.

With electricity being one of the largest expenses for most businesses, solar helps stabilize your bottom line. As your company continues to grow, it will inevitably consume more energy for lighting, HVAC, production, computing, and other business needs. Solar will help you fight constantly rising energy prices and manage your budgets.

Paired with federal tax incentives, special grant programs for qualified companies and depreciation benefits, we can help your business achieve energy independence while maximizing the return on your investment.

Solar Makes Financial Sense

We make the cost of solar for your business or farm cash flow positive. Working with our parent company, Good Energy Solutions, our team can install a solar electric system that could actually cost LESS than what you are currently paying for your power and energy.

As the cost of conventional electricity continues to rise, a commercial solar array can help lock in what you pay for power every month. Once your system is paid off, you can expect your monthly electricity bills to drop dramatically.

Our company also recommends battery energy storage systems to companies that want to reduce peak demand by storing energy during off-peak hours and releasing it during peak hours. This process can save money on electricity bills.

Experienced Installers

Due to the acquisition of Laven Electric we are able to combine our commercial electrical installation expertise with the expertise of Good Energy Solutions in the solar and energy management sector. Good Energy Solutions has been installing solar panels in Kansas and Missouri since 2007. Solar and Energy Storage designers, installers, and sales professionals hold their certifications by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), indicating they are elites in the solar and energy storage industry. Good Energy Solutions and Laven Electric have accumulated hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google and across the web. We love working with businesses to find ways to save money, manage energy, and lower their carbon footprint on the environment.

Battery Backup and Energy Management Options

Batteries can help reduce your reliance on the grid during high-demand hours when energy rates are highest for Time of Use rate structures to allow your business to cut energy costs. Batteries can also reduce monthly utility bills by dumping their electrons into your facility during high power events during the day. The battery is then recharged during lower power usage hours, effectively reducing demand charges that the utilities add to your bill. This is called Peak Demand Shaving. Demand charges (based on instantaneous kilowatts of power) can be as expensive on some customer bills as the energy charges (based on kilowatt hours of energy), By combining on-site solar generation with battery storage, your business can strategically use solar power and stored energy to avoid drawing expensive electricity from the grid while also lowering its carbon footprint. Batteries improve energy stability and security by potentially keeping your business running when the grid goes down, if that is a design consideration.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SAFE HARBOR FEDERAL INCENTIVES FOR SOLAR AND BATTERIES. 

Currently, businesses can claim a 30% federal tax credit on commercial solar and/or energy storage projects. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill signed into law on July 4th, commercial solar projects that have already been planned, financed, and approved still qualify for the applicable tax credit, as long as they begin construction before June 2026 or are operational by the end of 2027. Projects may be “safe harbored” and may include materials that do not meet FEOC (Foreign Entity of Concern) requirements if construction begins by the end of 2025. 

Other solar-related provisions in the OBBB:

  • Residential solar leasing companies can receive the 30% Federal Tax Credit, or ITC (48E).
  • Commercial solar projects that start construction less than 12 months after the bill’s enactment and are placed into service within four years can still claim the full ITC (48E) credit, as long as equipment meets FEOC requirements. 
  • Tax Credit for Energy Storage (batteries) has not been affected by the new law, but will be subject to FEOC rules.

With the changes to the solar tax credit laws and the introduction of President Trump’s executive order directing the Treasury Secretary to take steps to issue guidance and clarify “beginning construction”  by August of 2025, we urge businesses to reach out as soon as possible to start the process of going solar as safe harbor rules are uncertain after 2026. By starting work on your solar installation before the end of the year, companies can better solidify their claim to the 30% commercial solar tax credit. 

With the expected rising costs of energy rates and demand charges, plus 100% depreciation, many customers are finding that a solar investment, even without the federal tax credit, still makes economic sense. Locking in energy rates makes good business sense when forecasting business costs. Acting now and procuring equipment as soon as possible is also protection against additional possible tariffs. 

We help businesses:

  • Protect their tax credits
  • Assess site feasibility
  • Navigate safe harbor rules with confidence
Don’t wait — the deadline is approaching fast!
