Find out how today’s solar economics, in an evolving energy cost landscape, impact your bottom line.
Electric rates in Ohio have risen steadily over the past several years — about 6% annually on average. For most businesses, that increase shows up quietly on the monthly bill, but over time, it adds up to something much bigger.
With solar incentives currently evolving, timing your solar
installation right is key to unlocking the best tax
benefits.
If you are located in an Energy Community, get an additional 10% tax Credit bonus in addition to the standard 30% + MARCS depreciation.
The Energy Communities Tax Credit Bonus is an additional 10% adder and applies to businesses, organizations, and non-profits that otherwise qualify for the tax credit. Locations qualify as “Energy Communities,” are areas that have been affected by the changing national energy landscape – coal closures, decreased labor force, and other economic impacts as the nation has seen a decline in fossil fuel use. Highlighted communities are eligible for a 10% bonus on top of the standard 30% Federal ITC for solar.
Recent shifts in the capacity of the PJM grid – due to increasing energy demand, the retirement of outdated power plants, and a change in how the reliability of different power plants is measured- led to a major jump in the capacity price when the auction was held in 2025. The PJM cost of capacity increased from ~$29/MW-day to $270/MW-day – this 800% capacity charge will affect different customer types in different ways, but the general trend will raise costs.
Businesses with a multi-year CRES contract may still be exposed to these rate jumps if their supply contract has a “regulatory change clause” allowing for an adjustment in the long-term rate. While this rate hike is significant by itself, it is likely to be followed by another one, as the next capacity auction is scheduled for December 2025, setting the capacity charge for the year beginning on June 2026.
The tax credit currently allows businesses and non-profits to claim 30%+ of solar project costs as a federal tax credit. But as it steps down, the schedule includes several key deadlines.
