If your business is going to make an investment in solar energy, why lease the system? It’s in the best interest of your bottom line to own your solar power system. When you buy the system outright, you get to benefit from the reduced electric bill without having the monthly lease payment hanging over your head.
Without buying your system, you also miss out on cutting 30% of the cost from your taxes and increasing the value of your building. In fact, leasing could actually lower the value because the new owner would need to take over the lease.
