Solar Energy Solutions for
Louisville Businesses

Louisville businesses typically save 50-60% on energy costs with commercial solar installations. With Kentucky's average commercial electricity rates around $0.10-0.12/kWh, a 100kW system can save $10,000-$15,000 annually. Combined with the 30% federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation, most Louisville businesses see ROI within 5-7 years.

Absolutely! Louisville receives approximately 205 sunny days per year with an average of 4.5 peak sun hours daily. Kentucky's solar irradiance levels are excellent for commercial solar generation. Modern solar panels are also highly efficient even on cloudy days, making Louisville an ideal location for solar investments.

Louisville businesses can access the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), MACRS accelerated depreciation (85% of system cost), Kentucky net metering programs, and potential local utility rebates from LG&E. Combined, these incentives can offset 50-70% of total system costs for qualified businesses.

Yes! Through our ESCO (Energy Service Company) partnerships, qualified Louisville businesses can install commercial solar systems with $0 down payment. These power purchase agreements (PPAs) or solar leases allow you to start saving immediately while the ESCO handles installation, maintenance, and system ownership.

From initial consultation to system activation, the process typically takes 3-6 months for Louisville businesses. This includes site assessment (1-2 weeks), engineering and permitting with Louisville Metro (4-8 weeks), installation (1-3 weeks), and LG&E interconnection approval (2-6 weeks). We handle all paperwork and coordination.

Louisville manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centers, office buildings, retail stores, restaurants, and healthcare facilities all see substantial benefits. Any business with high daytime energy consumption, suitable roof or ground space, and tax liability to leverage federal credits is an excellent candidate for commercial solar.
