• No Sales Tax • No Increases in Property Taxes • 30% Federal tax Credit • State Rebate - $ per kWh Installed • PSE&G Solar Loan Program • Power Purchasing Agreement Electricity Pricing
http://www.electricchoice.com/electricity-prices-by-state.php Hedging Electricity Costs
• PPA’s allow Energy Intensive Company’s to Lock in a Percentage of their Total Consumption at a guaranteed rate.
• Both PPA’s and Solar Systems act as a hedge against future price increases and volatility.

• Will Need to Allow easy Access to your Roof for Maintenance and Inspections
• Proper Roof Supports will be Needed to meet State Building Requirements
• Proper Location and Ventilation of Inverter Rooms is Necessary to Safeguard against Premature Equipment Failures Roof Obstructions
• Refrigeration piping, AC units, skylights, and conduit can all decrease the amount of available roof space. • Surrounding Towers, Trees, and other buildings can all cast a shadow over your system. EPDM Roof Leaks
• Most Panels and Racking will not Damage an EPDM roof, but on Occasion Rips and Punctures can occur. Solar Damage A Sound Investment
• There are many Variables that need to be Answered Before Anyone can Justify the Large Capital and Real Estate Investment it takes to Install a Solar System on a Warehouse.
