Solar Installation Services

Michigan businesses are investing in commercial solar panels to lower energy costs and reduce exposure to volatile energy prices fluctuations. Combining on-site solar power generation, energy storage and tailored systems automations, organizations can lower operating expenses and meet their sustainability goals.

If you're feeling a bit uncertain about solar, take a moment to watch this informative video. It may help clarify any confusion you have about this sustainable power source.

We will support our clients every step of the way, including:

  • Commercial solar panel financing

  • Solar installation

  • On-going solar panel and system maintenance

Unlike other commercial solar companies, you’ll work with one energy consultant throughout the project. We’ll also provide a detailed on-site energy audit to better gauge solar panel ROI and identify further opportunities to improve energy efficiency.

Commercial Solar Financing Options

Michigan businesses have several financing options to cover up-front installation costs and shorten expected return on investment. Keen will help source, apply for and utilize energy-focused grant and rebate programs on your behalf!

Do I qualify for these grants and rebates?

Industrial solar energy systems for businesses provide clean, low-cost electricity that meets the demands of every industry, including:

  • Commercial and Industrial

  • Retail and Workplace

  • Agricultural and small farm businesses

  • Municipal

  • Non-profit

  • Education

  • State and federal government

Property-Assessed Clean Energy

Also know as PACE, this program provides financing for several energy efficiency upgrades, including solar. PACE assessments are based on a detailed property assessment and are paid twice annually through taxes. Most PACE programes span 20-25 years, providing a long-term financing option. Loan amounts range from $100,000 to $20 million and are tied to the property, not the business!

Michigan Saves

Michigan Saves is a non-profit designed to support energy upgrades for commercial facilities. Terms are capped at 84 months and average 6-8%. Michigan Saves funding can be used for various energy upgrades without applying for another loan.

USDA REAP Grants

REAP grants are provided by the United States Department of Agriculture to support energy upgrades to the nation’s many farms, wineries and agricultural producers. Grants pay as much as 50% along with a 30% tax credit of solar array costs. Keen will submit your applications free of charge.

What is the ROI of Commercial Solar Arrays?

Many factors impact the return on investment for solar panels, including financing options, the scale of the system and whether other energy-efficiency improvements are paired with solar installation. The Keen team will present to you a detailed layout within our proposal showing the ROI and financing options.
