Running a business in Central New York means keeping an eye on expenses, managing seasonal energy needs, and looking for smart ways to stay competitive. One solution that’s gaining serious traction? Commercial solar power. More and more local businesses are discovering that going solar isn’t just good for the environment—it’s great for the bottom line.
At Alternative Power Solutions of New York (APS), we help companies across the region take control of their energy use, reduce costs, and power their growth sustainably. Here’s why commercial solar is becoming a no-brainer for Central New York businesses—and how APS can help you lead the charge.
1. Slash Your Energy Bills Year-Round
Central New York’s seasons can be extreme—hot summers, cold winters—which means heating and cooling costs can skyrocket. A commercial solar system allows you to generate your own power and offset those high utility bills.
✅ Reduce monthly electricity costs
✅ Protect your business from rising utility rates
✅ Free up capital for other business priorities
2. Powerful Local & Federal Incentives
Solar energy in New York is more affordable than ever thanks to a combination of state and federal incentives:
💰 30% Federal Tax Credit – Deduct 30% of your system’s cost from your federal taxes
💰 MACRS Accelerated Depreciation – Recover costs quickly through commercial depreciation
💰 NYSERDA Incentives – New York State offers rebates based on system size and energy output
💰 State and Utility Rebates – Additional programs may apply depending on your location and utility provider
At APS, we guide you through the process to ensure you maximize every available incentive—bringing down your upfront cost and improving ROI.
3. A Smart Investment with Fast ROI
Solar panels typically pay for themselves in 3-7 years, depending on system size and energy usage. After that, you’re producing electricity at no ongoing fuel cost, which means decades of savings.
For many Central New York businesses, solar is no longer a “maybe”—it’s an essential strategic investment.
4. Improve Your Brand & Sustainability Image
Today’s customers, employees, and investors are paying attention to how businesses operate. By switching to solar, you show that your company is:
🌱 Committed to sustainability
🌱 Focused on long-term cost control
🌱 A forward-thinking, community-conscious organization
Whether you’re a manufacturer in Syracuse, a restaurant in Utica, or a retail chain across the Mohawk Valley, solar power sends a strong message about your values.
