Including the monthly savings and lucrative environmental benefits, your system could qualify you for tax benefits in the form of a credit. The Federal Solar Tax Credit allows you to deduct 26% of the cost of installing your solar system from your federal taxes. 

Government

Compass Solar Energy is actively involved in helping federal, state, and local government meet their clean energy initiatives. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps have published energy strategies that call for reducing demand and for technological innovations.  The military actively seeks and supports industry collaborations as a means of becoming less dependent on expensive and unstable energy sources and increasing compatible renewable energy development. 

Builder/Contractor Program

Compass Solar Energy is offering area builders the opportunity to include solar for newly constructed commercial buildings. We have extensive experience in designing solar thermal and solar electric applications into new construction, as well as retro-fitting existing buildings. If solar applications are included in the design process, they are more efficient and usually make for better economies of scale. As one of the only solar companies with an in-house engineer, Compass Solar can work directly with your team to create a custom solution for your project as installation is cheaper at build-out.
