The business case

Federal tax credits stack in your favour

Commercial solar isn't just an energy decision — it's a tax-advantaged capital investment.

30%

Clean Technology ITC — refundable

A 30% refundable federal tax credit on eligible solar PV, inverters and racking installed before Dec 31, 2033. A refundable credit directly reduces taxes owed — if it exceeds your liability, the difference is paid to you.

43.1 / 43.2

Accelerated CCA depreciation

Commercial solar qualifies for accelerated Capital Cost Allowance under Class 43.1 (30%) or 43.2 (50% declining balance). With the Accelerated Investment Incentive, you can write off a major share in Year 1 — stacking on top of the CT ITC.

Protection Plan FAQs

Does the protection plan include routine in-person maintenance?
No, our protection plan does not include routine annual physical maintenance visits. The plan focuses on remote monitoring, troubleshooting, and on-site service only when a system fault is confirmed remotely. We don’t perform routine cleaning or inspections as part of this plan.
What does the protection plan include?
The plan includes: side-by-side system monitoring, expert phone support with solar engineers, remote system troubleshooting, coordination with manufacturers for warranty claims, and on-site labor to replace parts that are still under manufacturer warranty. An internet connection to your solar devices is required.
How does the remote troubleshooting work?
Our solar engineers monitor your system performance remotely and can diagnose most issues without a site visit. We work with equipment manufacturers to troubleshoot problems, determine if components are faulty, and coordinate warranty replacements when applicable.
When do you send a technician on-site?
We only dispatch a technician for in-person service after the system has been diagnosed remotely and a fault has been confirmed. This remote-first approach minimizes unnecessary site visits while ensuring you receive expert attention when physical repairs are actually needed.
What labor is covered under the protection plan?
The plan covers labor costs to replace or repair parts that are still under their manufacturer warranty. Parts themselves are covered by the manufacturer warranties (typically 25 years for panels, 10-25 years for inverters), and we coordinate the claims process for you.
Do I need an internet connection for this plan?
Yes, an internet connection to your solar system devices is required for our protection plan. This enables remote monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting capabilities that are essential to the service we provide.
Do you work with manufacturers to resolve warranty issues?
Absolutely. We handle all communication with manufacturers to diagnose issues, process warranty claims, and coordinate part replacements. This saves you time and ensures warranty issues are resolved efficiently by professionals familiar with the process.
Can I get routine maintenance services separely?
Yes, if you need physical maintenance services like panel cleaning, annual inspections, or preventive maintenance visits, these can be arranged separately from the protection plan. Contact us to discuss your specific maintenance needs.
