COMMERCIAL AND UTILITY SOLAR
Over the last 30 years, we have mastered developing low-price solar power, enabling us to consistently deliver solar projects from concept to completion.
Now! Solar has a large portfolio of commercial and utility projects. Now! Solar's primary area of expertise is commercial and utility solar. We look forward to working with you to achieve energy independence while enhancing your property value and adding additional income. We provide a full financial analysis as well as a design and preliminary engineering so that you can make an informed financial decision
For the consumer that really wants to do a deep dive due diligence on solar, the U.S. Department of Energy has put together a comprehensive 63-page "On-Sight Commercial Solar PV Decision Guide" Click the link below.
Our 7 Easy Steps To Go Solar!
We have condensed the process to a comprehensive 7 steps. Except providing us with some information, you can sit back, relax and watch us do all the work! There is more to your solar that we will go over when we meet but these are the basics.
NOW IS THE TIME!
Step One: Financial & Design Report
Gather all the information needed for a financial and design feasibility study to ascertain if solar is a viable resource. This will include an onsight property inspection at your convenience. Once the feasibility study is completed we provide a comprehensive report and design so that you can make an informed decision.
Step Two: Financing
We offer attractive financing options or work with your preferred financial institutions. There are several financing structures that allows one to maximize incentives and obtain quickest ROI.
Step Three: Engineering
We will engineer a solar system providing blueprints that meet local and federal guidelines while also providing best in market materials.
Step Four: Permitting
We procure all permits and filings with local and federal. Your only part is to provide us with needed information This includes all non-tax incentives.
Step Five: Delivery of Solar Equipment
Delivery and staging of all the components for your solar system. We will land the material at your site giving you time, if desired, to inspect the equipment before it is installed.
Step Six: Installation
Installation of your solar system is a fairly quick process. We have an amazing installation team that is highly trained to provide best in practices and professionalism so that you can rest assured of a hassle-free experience.
Step Seven: Commisioning
We will perform a system walkthrough and commisioning. We will go over the entire system with you answering any questions you might have.

Agricultural and Farm Solar
Having grown up in the Yakima Valley and Tri-Cities on a farm, we understand the nuances and needs of the agricultural and farming community concerning electricity. Solar actually has some similar attributes to farming. I have referred to solar as a "sun harvester" and called solar folks "sun farmers".It is not a huge leap from using the sun to grow plants and using the sun to produce electricity. Another similarity is the same tax benefits one gets for farming equipment goes for solar equipment. Combine that with the WA incentives and the USDA grant of 25% up to $500,000 and the USDA 80% loan Guarantee offers a very low-risk investment with high returns.

Now! Solar has years of experience in Indian Country. We try and structure so that these projects are owned by members or the Tribe. While navigating a project in Indian country can be difficult and take more time we have found them to be our most rewarding on a personal level than any other sector of our industry and have more of an immediate impact on the lives.
Solar Incentives
Installing solar on a commercial property has several distinct value-adds. The typical ROI is 4-6 years (sometimes 3 years) depending on the complexity of the install. The reason for this great ROI is that one is using incentives to pay for the system. The attraction for commercial solar is the ability to add an additional income to your property as well as equity to your property while eliminating or reducing the power bill. There is also the ability to advertise as a "Green Property" This is a huge value add with climate-conscious customers.
Battery Storage
Energy storage is a fast-growing segment of the renewable energy markets and is needed if solar is going to be a competitive stand-alone resource. When we first started in solar almost 30 years ago we did not have the ability to connect to the grid so 100% of solar systems were combined with batteries. Once the grid connection for solar was established, focus and attention were, for the most part, lost for energy storage. In the last 5 years, solar alone became less expensive than fossil fuel which brought back the viability and interest of combining solar with energy storage. In order for solar to be a competitive base power source, it needed the ability to provide power 24 hours a day. A lot of money was pumped into the research and development of batteries and the market emerged of energy storage. Financially, it still has a ways to go to be competitive for residential markets but for commercial solar (see Incentives) it works preferred.. Here in the Northwest, we are blessed with multiple and abundant renewable energy resources thus, for the most part, offering a reliable electrical grid. Even with a reliable grid, there are several reasons one might want to consider storage with one's solar system.
