Maximize Savings Through Solar Incentives
Solar Incentives Explained
Transitioning to solar energy is more accessible and cost-effective than ever, thanks to a wide range of financial incentives offered through federal grants, tax credits, and state programs. Sunchoice Energy works closely with businesses and agribusinesses to identify and secure these opportunities, significantly reducing the cost of solar adoption while accelerating return on investment.
USDA RURAL
ENERGY
FOR AMERICA
PROGRAM GRANT
who is eligible?
The USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grants provide a 50% cost-share contribution to support an extensive range of projects on agricultural properties. Eligible initiatives encompass the installation of solar panels and diverse renewable energy systems, including wind turbines, biomass converters, and geothermal technologies, thereby facilitating sustainable energy solutions for your operation.
what projects are funded?
The REAP funds renewable energy projects like solar panels, wind turbines, biomass converters, and geothermal systems, as well as energy efficiency upgrades such as improved lighting, insulation, and equipment retrofits. Offering a 50% cost-share, REAP supports agricultural producers and small rural businesses in reducing energy costs and enhancing sustainability.
What financial assistance is available?
The REAP offers two powerful financial assistance options. Secure grants covering up to 50% of total project costs, with a ceiling of $1 million, to fund your energy initiatives. Alternatively, leverage loan guarantees financing up to 75% of eligible project costs, empowering your business to implement renewable energy systems and energy efficiency upgrades with confidence.
Guaranteed loans
The USDA REAP program offers guaranteed loans that can take your project to the next level! These loan guarantees essentially reduce the risk for lenders to finance larger solar projects on your farm. This translates to better loan terms and more favorable interest rates. Remember, loan guarantees work alongside REAP grants, so you can stack them together to amplify your financial resources.
What are the benefits?
The REAP Grant represents a strategic investment opportunity for agricultural producers, agribusinesses, and small rural businesses, fostering a sustainable and profitable future. By capitalizing on this program, you can unlock substantial cost savings, minimize your environmental impact, and strengthen long-term operational resilience. This initiative not only enhances profitability but also positions your enterprise as a contributor to a cleaner, more sustainable agricultural landscape.

Federal & State tax credits
Investment tax credit
For solar systems installed in 2025, businesses can claim a 30% ITC, deducting this amount from federal taxes. This credit lowers the initial cost and can be carried forward if it exceeds tax liability, making solar more affordable.
state tax
State tax benefits vary, potentially including additional credits or deductions. Consult a tax professional for state-specific details.
MACRS Depreciation
Commercial solar systems qualify for 5-year accelerated depreciation under MACRS, allowing businesses to reduce taxable income quickly. In 2025, a 40% bonus depreciation lets you deduct nearly half of your system’s cost in year one—boosting cash flow and ROI. This bonus drops to 20% in 2026, so acting now maximizes your savings.
