FedEx in Maryland with 9,000 solar panels.

More of America's businesses are choosing to install solar than ever before, according to the recent Solar Means Business report by the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA). Walmart once again took the top spot among America's businesses for both number of solar projects (348!) and total generation capacity (142 megawatts!). Other companies expanding their solar investments include IKEA, Costco, FedEx, Apple, Verizon, Walgreens and Ford.

"The increased solar adoption by major corporations shown in this report reflects the overall growth within the broader commercial sector, but more importantly shows that companies that previously installed solar are continuing to add more of it. Companies sampled here installed 1,686 systems totaling 907 MW, generating enough electricity to power more than 158,000 homes. This represents a 59% increase over the findings of last year's report." 

Download the report to see which companies are choosing solar to cut costs, help their bottom line and plan for the future.

We want to help you claim the 30% federal tax credit for solar that is set to expire on December 31, 2016. Eligible systems must be turned on and operating by this date.  To meet next year's tax credit deadline and guarantee your capacity in TVA's 2016 solar program, we encourage you to begin the process now. Contact us for your free solar estimate and cash flow analysis, or email us to revisit a project for 2016.
