Federal, State and local incentives and rebates vary widely depending on the size of your business operations, the overall energy efficiency of your facility, and system performance. One Sun sales and business specialists will work with you to define the options that will maximize your savings and they will guide you through the incentives process. We recommend that you seek the advice of your tax professional in order to see how the new tax provisions may specifically apply to your business or facility.

Sonoma County Energy Independence Program Sonoma County property owners qualify for SCEIP financing through a voluntary assessment on existing property. Assessments are a lien on the property itself: when the property is sold, the assessment stays with the property. These assessments are paid back through the property tax system over 10 or 20 years. New construction does not qualify. Other taxing entities in California are doing the same , such as San Francisco and Berkley, so please ask if it is available in your area.
We will also advise you about other city and county incentives that may apply to your project.
