Frequently Asked Questions
The Inflation Reduction Act has set aside some limited funds for commercial entities that are advantageous to take advantage of in 2023. That and with the cost of solar and energy going up, there has never been a better time to go solar.
The program runs from June 29th, 2023 until September 30th, 2023.
The Shelby Solar Initiative is led by the Industrial Foundation and the Chamber of Commerce.
There are two primary groups. Commercial and non-profit entities in Shelby county will greatly benefit by leveraging the solar tax strategies available allowing them to hedge energy costs for over 3 decades. The second group are Shelby county homeowners that benefit from the aggregate buying program offering discounts the more residents that go solar.
Any Shelby County business or homeowner qualifies for the initiative. Not all projects will be a fit but we highly recommend any and all business owners or residents to review their opportunity to go solar.
There is no cost to the Shelby community. Community solar efforts have existed since 2012 in Portland, Oregon where a group of 100 citizens worked out a plan to go solar together. This thinking helped all stakeholders win – the residents, business owners, and the local solar companies that employ local workers. The proposition is simple and creates a win-win.
