We can develop commercial solar projects of any size for your organization. Beginning with small commercial solar system at 20 kW to hundreds of megawatts. International Clean Energy is here to help you achieve your energy independence for your business, or organization. Coupled with energy storage your commercial solar project can power all of your needs day and night, avoiding peak hours rates that the utilities charge.

Solar farms are the future of energy. Solar farms are popping up all over America and the world.  In the US the 30% federal tax credit, which may be combined with other available state and utility solar incentives have created a very profitable climate for investment in solar farm project. Solar farms are designed to make the owners money, and or eliminate the solar farm customers’ electric bill.

Community solar is a solar garden or shared renewable energy plant. It is a solar facility where the electricity that is produced, is shared by various members in a community.  A community solar project is a collectively owned system by members in a community or by a single 3rd party that sells or shares the electricity with a community of user. International Clean Energy can create a solar farm your your organization or community that will benefit all of your participating members.

The #1 goal of community solar is to give members of a community the benefits of solar power even if a home or business cannot or does not want to install solar panels on their property. All the participants will benefit from the electricity generated by the community solar farm, because the costs of electricity from the community solar project will be much less than the price they would normally pay to their utility. Community solar also allows people to go solar even if they do not own property to install a private solar system on. This is the number one barrier to going solar for most families and business, they do not own the property where they live of work. Many families that rent apartments with high electric bills, desperately want to go solar but cannot, because they do not own their property. With community solar they now can!

Simply put, community solar offers everyone the opportunity to go solar. People do not need to own property or if their own property does not have the ideal location to benefit from a direct solar installation, community solar is the answer.

Virtual Net Metering (VNM) is the method by which electricity can be produced in one location and transferred to another location, like a person’s home or business without the need for solar power generation in that location. Through VNM a household or business receives the Net Metering credits from a renewable energy project which they do not share a direct electricity meter with. VNM credits are exchanged with the customer’s local utility. Every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated by the community solar farm will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis with that from the local utility, the goal is to ZERO out the community solar customer’s electric bill, so they do not need to purchase electricity from a local utility at the more expensive utility rates.

They customer get to buy clean green electricity and help the environment. 

There is also an opportunity for participants to benefit from federal and state government incentives—including Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Each customer’s situation is different so they must check with their tax professional. Also tax credit incentive companies may be interested in financing the development of solar farms in situations where a non profit community organization cannot directly benefit from tax credits. This kind of partnership can greatly reduce the cost of developing a solar farm, which will make the electricity from that solar farm much cheaper to buy and more attractive to the end user. Finally Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that the system generates may be monetized depending on the place the project is located in.

We offer turnkey micro-grids and smart grid solutions which coupled with clean energy production and storage will give your community energy independence that’s reliable and affordable.
