California Solar Benefits & Incentives

California provides fantastic opportunities and incentives to install & maintain commercial and industrial solar programs. These include:

  • Favorable property tax legislation that specifically excludes solar installations from increased taxation
  • Tax credits that deduct a portion of solar costs from corporate income tax liability
  • Tax credits based on the amount of electricity generated from commercial solar installations

California commercial property owners can enjoy greater profits, higher property value, create greater tenant satisfaction, and achieve sustainability goals by incorporating rooftop solar into their energy portfolio.

Reporting & Sustainability

California ESG & Sustainability Requirements

The California Energy Commission requires many commercial buildings to generate a portion of their electricity from solar, and the state has also passed legislation that will mandate emissions reporting for most businesses.

King Energy integrates directly to ESG reporting systems like Energy Star® Portfolio Manager®, which provides streamlined energy tracking, benchmarking against similar properties, and improved energy conservation measures.
