Powering Business Growth with Sustainable Solar Solutions

Commercial-scale solar refers to solar energy systems designed to meet the electricity needs of businesses, organizations, or large facilities. These systems are typically larger than residential solar arrays but smaller than utility-scale solar farms, ranging from tens of kilowatts to several megawatts in capacity. Commercial solar installations can be rooftop systems, ground-mounted arrays, or carport structures, and they directly offset electricity costs while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. By generating clean energy onsite or through offsite projects, businesses can lower operating expenses, achieve sustainability goals, and protect against fluctuating energy prices. Saga Energy is a provider of commercial-scale solar services and development, helping clients design, build, and implement tailored solar solutions that deliver financial savings and environmental benefits.

What best describes your situation?

Commercial Solar works for any kind of business, property owner, or entity.
I own property (land or building) and I want to own a solar system to offset my energy costs
Owning the solar system on your property provides the best Return on Investment (ROI) of all scenarios, and guarantees your energy production for decades.

The cost of a typical commercial solar project can equate to approximately ~4-8 years worth of utility bills, but you receive the benefit of offsetting this cost for 25+ years.
I own property (land or building), and I'm only interested in additional lease payments from my property!
You will likely go through the process of a Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA. This is where an energy user will buy the energy generated from your property (rooftop or land) and you will collect a lease payment. If your business can use the energy generated, great! You will benefit from reduced monthly utility bills since a solar installation is a known cost for 25+ years. If you cannot use the energy generated, the energy generated will be sold and you will collect a lease payment!

Lease payments vary drastically and are dependent on how large of a system can be installed on your roof or land. Given the right circumstances, a roof lease payment can vary between $2-$5 per Square Foot of space, per year. A land lease payment can vary between $500-$1,000 per acre, per year. You can also expect a lease escalation, where payments can help to keep up with rising inflation rates.
I am a business owner/decision maker that wants to meet ESG goals while reducing my operating costs
Solar Energy systems are perfect for ESG goals. Your scenario will likely fall in any of the above mentioned categories
I work in agriculture or other specific sector, and am interested in the local incentives towards solar projects
You can still own or lease your property to benefit from a solar energy install, except you will likely fall under a state or federal program with additional incentives!

A good example of a Federal program: the REAP Grant. The REAP Grant is a competitive incentive awarded to agriculture-based businesses installing solar systems with an incentive amount of either $25,000 or 20% of the project cost.

In Colorado, a state sponsored program called the ACRE3 Grant can award agriculture-based businesses installing solar 20-60% of the total system cost!
