In deregulated energy markets, you don't have to pay your utility's default supply rate. We access dozens of competitive suppliers across IL, MD, PA, NJ, DE, VA, and NY — compare rates, and lock in the best price for your organization before rates climb.
In deregulated markets (IL, MD, PA, NJ, DE, VA, NY), energy supply is competitive. Most organizations pay the utility's default rate — the market has better options and we lock them in.
Section 48E credits are just the beginning. Stack them with MACRS depreciation and net metering to maximize your total return.
The federal Investment Tax Credit covers 30% of your commercial solar installation cost immediately. For a $500,000 project, that's $150,000 off in Year 1. No caps for commercial installations.
Commercial solar qualifies for MACRS 5-year accelerated depreciation. Combined with the ITC, total first-year tax benefit can exceed 50% of system cost. We model the exact numbers for your situation.
Excess generation sells back to the grid at retail rates. Available in all 7 states. Turns your facility into a partial revenue generator, further reducing your effective energy cost below zero.
Any organization with a significant utility spend is leaving money on the table in a deregulated market. We work with:
Large facilities with consistent high utility loads — often $2,000–$10,000+/month. Rate locking delivers immediate, predictable savings.
Multi-building campuses with complex energy profiles. We optimize across meters and lock in supply rates across the full portfolio.
Office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities. We structure brokerage + solar together to maximize total ROI.
Franchises, regional operators, and multi-site organizations. We aggregate load across locations for maximum negotiating leverage.
We operate brokerage and energy strategy across all 7 states. Commercial solar and tax incentive structuring available everywhere — deregulated supply optimization varies by state.

New for 2026: Virginia's Solar Interconnection Grant Program provides funding for public and commercial entities to cover grid interconnection costs — the often-unexpected expense that delays or derails commercial solar projects. Grid connection fees can run $10,000–$500,000+ for large commercial systems. This grant program specifically targets interconnection as a barrier to deployment, making Virginia's commercial solar market significantly more accessible for public entities and qualifying commercial operators.
