From line-side tie in, replacement of electrical service or installation of a new roof, we provide the best combination of experience and service for all aspects of our commercial clients' needs. Read more about these aspects of our business on our testimonials page. We continue to strive for our commercial goal of employing the most knowledgeable professionals in these trades to provide for best practice solar installations. Generous commercial incentives for solar electric systems include a 30% Federal Tax Credit and the MACRS Bonus 50% First Year Depreciation. These incentives compound the benefits of a free fuel source displacing energy costs while savings grow over time.  These handsome financial benefits create opportunities for leased ownership and Power Purchase Agreements. Leases enable commercial entities to make solar investment over time while Power Purchase Agreements facilitate purchasing just the solar kilowatt-hours produced by the system.Albion Power Company can provide revenue-grade metering allowing some building owners to sell energy to tenants via the renewable energy power plant on their roof. Our staff is available to discuss these options with commercial building owners.

A major premise in the development of Albion Power Company was to take the high level commercial construction practices and extend them to residential customers. Few residential solar installers offer the experience of C-10 and C-39 electricians and roofers presented by our staff. Our residential systems are not off the shelf racking feebly attached with a lag bolt and caulking, but anchors directly into the substrate of the roof and integrates the system by flashing custom fabricated metal, sealed by our licensed roofers. This makes a difference in that our systems meet National Roofing Code—please discriminate when finding a company that does not achieve this standard. Our systems become part of the roof rather than a frail attachment. The California Solar Initiative has enacted a Multi-Family Affordable Housing (MASH) Program with substantial rebates offsetting common and tenant loads. The City of San Francisco’s GoSolarSF program has also expanded its incentives for Low-Income and Nonprofit organizations.
