Non-Profits Embrace Solar for a Sustainable Future
As electricity costs climb and the demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, California’s non-profits now have a unique opportunity to harness the benefits of solar. Recent updates to the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) are opening new possibilities for these organizations, which have historically been excluded from such incentives.
At Essential Solar Services, we’re dedicated to helping non-profits save on energy costs and make a positive environmental impact with customized solar and energy storage solutions.
Why Solar Energy is a Smart Move for Non-Profits
With rising utility rates, businesses across California—both for-profit and non-profit—are turning to solar to reduce operational costs. Commercial solar provides a reliable way to lower utility bills over the long term while supporting sustainable practices. This makes solar an ideal investment for non-profits seeking to stretch their resources and cut energy expenses.
How the Solar ITC Now Benefits Non-Profits
In the past, non-profits couldn’t benefit directly from the Solar ITC due to their tax-exempt status. Recent changes, however, allow non-profits to leverage this incentive. Under the new “direct pay” option, non-profits can now receive a reimbursement from the IRS for qualifying solar projects placed in service after 2022.
This advancement reduces the upfront costs of solar installations for non-profits. To qualify, organizations must register with the IRS, and the refund will be based on the project’s net cost, excluding any tax-exempt funds applied to it. Additionally, non-profits now have the flexibility to transfer tax credits to eligible taxpayers, creating even more funding opportunities.
These updates make solar energy more accessible for non-profits, allowing them to reduce costs and advance their mission with renewable energy. At Essential Solar Services, we’re here to guide you through each step of this exciting transition, building a sustainable future together.
