SAVING YOUR BUSINESS MONEY

If you had the choice of owning your commercial building or renting from a monopoly supplier of commercial real estate that could charge you whatever they wanted, would you choose to rent? Of course not, but business owners make this choice every day when it comes to their electricity. Today you have an option. With a Sol-Gen System for your business, you can own your electricity. In California, you can own your electricity and save money right from day one and never face another rate increase.

Return on Investment

With California’s abundant sunshine, high electricity rates and generous rebates and tax incentives, the return on your investment in a Sol-Gen System for your business is extremely strong. For many customers, the return on investment is between 20% and 25%. Additionally, this return comes with very little risk.
No More Rate Hikes and Price Shocks

Over the last 30 years, electricity prices in California have been very volatile and have risen quickly. According to California Public Utilities Commission data, prices for large commercial customers have risen from an average of $0.0099 per kWh in 1970 to an average of $0.1142 per kWh in 2001, a compound annual inflation rate of 8.2%. Prices for small commercial customers have risen at 7.1% per year. A Sol-Gen System removes this corrosive risk to your bottom line.
 
Finance and Save

With such high rates of return, you can save cash for your business right from year 1 by financing the system over as little as 7 to 10 years. Sol-Gen customers use both secured mortgage financing and lease financing to finance their systems. We can help arrange system finance.
