Financial Benefits

Rising electricity rates can quickly erode household disposable income and business profit margins. If you’ve thought about controlling the energy costs for your home or business, it’s time to explore solar as a viable, cost-effective solution.

As the energy market becomes increasingly volatile, the federal government, along with state and local governments, are responding with financial incentives to help homes and businesses gain control of their energy costs and reduce their carbon emissions. Those who move fast will get priority access to the grants, rebates and other incentives, especially at the state and local levels.

Standard Solar offers a comprehensive service to handle every aspect of making the switch, from professional on-site assessment to custom installation, to ongoing system monitoring. We understand that you have a home or business to run so we handle every last detail so that you don’t have to. Whatever your industry, if you’re ready to go solar, we’re ready to help.

Residential

Installing a Standard Solar Home System will reduce your energy costs and is likely to increase the value of your home. While natural gas, coal, and heating oil are finite resources that can become prohibitively expensive, sun light is an unlimited resource that is free. Installing a solar electric system, and/or a solar water heating system, to tap that free energy is an investment in a sustainable energy future for you and your community.

Commercial

From utility savings, to lower greenhouse gas emissions, to public relation advantages, solar energy makes sense for many commercial enterprises. Let Standard Solar show you how to improve your corporate bottom line and image with the ethical and economically sound business practices of solar energy systems.

Government

Standard Solar is the optimal choice for government agencies. We have experience working with entities such as the Quantico Marine Base, the Department of Energy, the National Archives, and the National Institutes of Health. If your agency wants to be at the forefront of society’s move toward more sustainable government operations, adding solar energy to your office is the one way to start.

Not-for-Profit

Standard Solar is here to help your not-for-profit organization walk the talk about sustainability. We can help you save money on energy, reduce your carbon footprint and build your image as an environmentally conscious member of society. Although some incentives are not applicable, many still are.  Third-party financing options can provide additional economic benefits. 

Utility

Many states have instituted what are called “renewable portfolio standards” or “renewable electricity standards”  which require that certain percentages of generated electricity come from renewable sources such as solar and wind. Standard Solar has helped utilities such as PEPCO add solar energy systems to their generation base. Let Standard Solar build your renewable portfolio.

Retail

From utility savings to public relation advantages, solar energy makes perfect sense for your retail enterprise. Let Standard Solar show you how to improve your fiscal bottom line and company image with the addition of a solar energy system.

There are a wide variety of local, state, and federal incentives that make solar electric systems a very affordable alternative. Read more about them on our Available Incentives page.
