Solar Economics Example for Business in Des Moines, Iowa

For Example, Even in Cold, Rainy, Cloudy Iowa…

50,000 square foot roof top = $1 million in savings over 25 years

100,000 square foot roof = $2 million in savings over 25 years

1.333 = production factor in Illinois for example (if at 180 degree tilt)

1.333 x 700 kw = annual kWh (kilowatt-hour) produce in year = 933

A kilowatt hour is when you add in your supply delivery, taxes, conservatively worth $0.08 = 1 kWh

Supply rate on average = 5.5

Take $0.08 x 933 (annual kwH produced in a year)

= ~$70,000/year in savings

Which = $6,000/month in electricity savings

Or ~$2 million in savings over 25 year warrantied life.

Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

Thanks to the inflation reduction act, The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a significant financial incentive in the United States that encourages the adoption of solar energy. It offers a 30% tax credit on the total cost of installing a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. This means when you install a solar energy system, you can deduct 30% of the installation cost from your federal taxes.

Net-Metering

Net metering in Iowa plays a crucial role in accelerating solar project ROI. It allows solar energy system owners to offset the cost of electricity they draw from the grid with the excess energy their systems produce. Depending on the utility, often excess energy generated in the summer can be used to offset energy bills in the winter when solar production is lower.
