And here's what most owners miss: it's based on when your system is operating — not when you sign. Commercial projects take 4–6 months, so you need to start by Q1 2027.
A 2-minute review. We'll tell you in week one whether you're a 2027 project or a 2028 project — before you commit to anything.
The 30% credit is earned when your system receives Permission to Operate — not when you sign. Between design, permits, build, and the utility queue, that means starting by Q1 2027.
California commercial power runs around 25¢/kWh and keeps rising — before demand charges. Every month you wait is a month paying full retail on load you could be offsetting.
Permanent 100% bonus depreciation stays. Battery storage keeps its 30% credit through 2033. The deadline shortens payback — it doesn't create the value. Miss it and you pivot, not lose.
Competitors on 12-month cycles can't honestly promise a 2027 capture. We deliver clean rooftop and carport projects in 4–6 months, and the first thing we do is a site review — so we tell you in week one whether the deadline is realistic for your building.
It takes two minutes. If your site is a 2028 project, we'll tell you that too — and show you the storage and depreciation path that has no deadline.
