We're lowering the energy bills all over the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Solar panel installation for commercial properties can add great value, especially for those who own the commercial building that their business occupies. Solar panels on your commercial building is a great investment that returns as much as 30% a year.
Solar panel installation for commercial properties can add great value, especially for those who own the commercial building that their business occupies. That's because you'll enjoy greatly reduced electric bills, as well as tax incentives, an accelerated depreciation schedule, and SREC certificates that can be sold to generate cash.
Solar is an ideal investment for an owner-occupied commercial building with unobstructed roof space. That's because a solar array installed on a commercial building massively lowers or even eliminates electricity bills, provides SREC certificates that can be sold to produce cash on a short timeline, an accelerated depreciation schedule, tax credits that provide tax relief, and utility company incentives.
The many financial advantages of installing a solar system at your commercial building add up to a serious investment with nice returns compared to other typical investments, such as a CD or a bond. First of all, the costs of purchasing a solar array are offset by the many government and utility company benefits.

I talked to several companies about solar panel installation, and I selected Solar Gaines for the following reasons:
-Solid parent company that is very competent and experienced in the solar industry
-13.7 cent/kWh production guarantee, which is the highest I have seen (all companies I have read in their contracts are around 8.5 cent/kWh
-Best price in terms of $/W I have encountered among companies
-Included high quality inverter that can monitor on a per panel basis
-Provided excellent details on how they manage repair work orders
They are very flexible to work with in terms of scheduling for

Solargaines is a great company, in every way that counts to a consumer looking to go solar.
They are very knowledgeable and truthful, and will even tell you if your house is not suitable for solar. There aren't many companies that will turn down a sale and choose honesty and integrity over their bottom line.

Honest, Excellent install, Top notch customer service
I selected Solar Gaines to install my solar panels, out of 7 other companies that I spoke to, because they met all of my needs. They are experienced, reasonably priced, informative, and most importantly honest.
In my quest of finding the right vendor to work with, I had many companies design a solar system that maximizes my roof space. Solar Gaines, in contrary, designed a system that was right for my production, without going too much over my estimated annual energy usage. This move, by far, sets them apart. By suggesting less panels
