#1 Commercial Solar Company in Michigan

Proprietary Energy Savings Program for Michigan Businesses

Looking for commercial solar panels? Are you a MI business with high energy costs and tax liability? If so you’ve found the right place. Without any upfront investment, businesses are able to adopt solar and begin saving money as soon as the system is installed and becomes operational. We’ve developed a program that allows U.S. businesses to install solar and pay off the system overtime using your federal and state subsidies.

Your company has no risk. 

Solar One will operate, insure, and maintain the system while the dealership owns the system outright and reaps the benefits of sun for decades to come.

Whether you go solar or not you’re going to purchase power either way.

Solar is no longer a matter of interest, it’s a matter of choice!

Solar For Business

#1 Michigan Commercial Solar Company

If you’ve never explored a solar project for your business or you’ve looked at numerous solar proposals that involved a substantial up front cost, taking out a long term loan, or required a 3rd party owning your solar array and keeps most of the benefits, this message is for you.

After months of meetings with decisions makers and hearing each of the reasons why businesses choose not to implement a solar project, Solar One developed a solution that removes all of the pain points and all of the barriers to commercial solar ownership.

Regardless of what state your facilities are located, your company will enjoy the following benefits…..

Your company’s project will be 100% paid for by incentives.

There’s no ROI to calculate and wait for— because the savings are immediate and there are no out of pocket costs either. From the first month your solar array goes live, you will see a substantial reduction in your operating expenses due to electricity savings.

There are no cap x budget requirements from your company, and there are no construction payments.

You won’t be required to share 80% of the benefits with a 3rd party ownership, as you would with a Power Purchase Agreement, PPA or lease. In other words— your company will actually own the solar array.

Once you receive a proposal from Solar One, you won’t be asking if going solar makes sense or not—you’ll be asking Solar One to put solar panels on your entire portfolio of properties.

Whether you have 10,000 or 10 million square feet of roof top space, whether your family owned or fortune 500, we’d like to have a conversation with you in order to learn more about your business.

Please check the information below and connect with us. We look forward to speaking with you soon.

Solar One has constructed over 40 Commercial Solar Projects in different parts of the country, ranging from school districts, to retail, manufacturing, multi-family and other commercial properties. Many of our customers have had us do 3, 4, 5, 6 different properties. We have dozens of additional projects currently under contract. Our Director is based in Detroit, MI and is available for in person meetings.

For conservative purposes these are the numbers in Michigan…California has even more sunshine.

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.

Solar Panel Building

The larger your commercial facility the higher it utility costs. Michigan has moderately low electric rates compared to the other U.S, but by no means is the cheapest. The average cost of electricity in Michigan is 12.21 ¢/kWh. By producing your own energy via the sun, you can offset these costs considerably. On average our clients with roofs over 100,000 square feet are saving six figures in annual operating expenses with zero upfront expense. This results in immediate ROI and cash flow since we front load federal and state subsidies to pay for the solar system spread out over 25 years instead of a requiring large cap ex or loan only to wait 5-7 years for an ROI. Solar power for commercial use has historically been an investment requiring capital expenditure, taking out a loan, or sharing the tax benefits with a 3rd party through a PPA, but this is no longer the case with Solar One.

Cost of Solar Panels in 49201

As of January 2024, solar panel costs in Michigan average $16,305 for a 5-kilowatt system before incentives, with a price range of $13,859 to $18,751. The federal investment tax credit (ITC) reduces this cost by 30%, making solar installation more affordable. Larger systems come with higher upfront expenses, but the federal tax credit scales accordingly, providing homeowners with a substantial credit towards their tax bill. In 48235, solar panels offer significant savings, totaling approximately $26,692 over 20 years for a 5-kilowatt system. Flexible financing options, including $0-down loans, cater to those unable to cover upfront expenses.

To optimize savings, taking advantage of federal and local incentives is essential. The federal tax credit slashes 30% off installation and equipment costs, and local incentives and rebates further contribute to overall cost-effectiveness. Comparing quotes from multiple installers, facilitated through various platforms, ensures a strategic approach, potentially resulting in prices up to 20% lower than with a single company. Homeowners in 48221 can make informed, cost-effective decisions by carefully considering these factors when embracing solar energy.
