Solar Projects

Home or business solar energy systems can save you substantial amount on your energy bills. Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source that helps you save money and protects the environment.

Save money with FrozCo2

Choosing a solar energy system is a significant purchase decision. Costs vary depending on the companies you choose to purchase solar equipment and installation. FrozCo2 can help with your purchase of a home or business solar energy system through our reverse auction system. Companies compete for your solar project through our reverse auctions system which dramatically lowers the purchase price of your Green Project. The company with the lowest bid at the end of auction is awarded your renewable energy project.

The electricity produced by solar electric system is generally used on-site, resulting in reduced electricity demand from the utility. This provides valuable cost savings, especially during peak daytime and summertime rate periods – which coincidentally is typically when solar systems produce the most electricity. Solar panels can be a great investment that not only saves you money and increases the value of your property, but also helps the environment.

Saving the environment

Solar electric systems give you the chance to make a positive impact on the environment. Because you're creating clean, renewable energy, you're reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality, which benefits all of us. In addition, unlike generators or other on-site power generation devices, a solar system is unobtrusive and silent. Solar energy systems can be installed on a roof, an open area or a parking lot in an inconspicuous and appealing way. Solar power is truly sustainable. In just a few years, depending on its application and location, a solar module will regenerate the energy used in its manufacture.

Solar Power- How it saves you money!

A solar electric system allows you to produce your own clean energy, giving you security by protecting you from rate increases. Solar power is price competitive with conventional energy sources, and many states offer great rebates and incentives to help offset your initial investment. The combination of the 30% Federal investment tax credit and other rebates and incentives currently being offered by many states and local utilities make purchasing a solar electric system more affordable than ever.

Solar Rebates and Incentives

A solar energy system for your home or business is a substantial investment, however many states enable you to offset the cost through renewable energy rebates and incentives.

Financing your solar home or business system is easier and more cost effective than every before. Many states offer tax incentives to offset the cost of installing solar panels, making it a smart, financially viable energy decision .

Save with state buy-down programs

State- and utility-sponsored incentives ('buy-down' programs) are available in many areas throughout the country. For example, the California Energy Commission is now offering up to almost 30% off the purchase price. New Jersey offers up to 60% off the purchase of a residential system.

Deduct system costs with tax credits and exemptions

The Federal government offers a 30% investment tax credit for the purchase of residential and commercial solar electric systems, making solar more affordable than ever. Consult with your tax preparer for full details.

Replace your most expensive electricity

Many utilities have or are moving to tiered pricing structures. Tiered pricing structures can charge the home owner more per kWh depending on the total amount of energy used in a given period, the peak amount of power drawn or simply the time of day. If your utility has tiered rates, a solar home or business system can offer additional cost savings. By decreasing the amount of electricity you purchase from your utility, especially during peak hours when your solar electric system is producing its highest output, you could fall into a lower pricing tier.

Federal incentives include:

30% tax credit:

The Federal Government offers a 30% corporate tax credit for those purchasing solar electric systems.

Accelerated depreciation:

The Federal Government allows for solar electric systems to be treated as five year property for depreciation purposes. This provides added benefit to solar panel purchases.

State incentives include:

Several states offer incentives for solar that help make the economics more attractive. These incentives can take several forms, including rebates, performance based incentives, tax credits, and so on. For example, in California, under the California Solar Initiative, companies can earn a performance-based state incentive that provides funding for each kilowatt-hour generated over the entire first five years of a system's life. This has proven to be a very attractive program for many commercial customers.

Wind Projects

Wind power is playing a major role in meeting the global demand for electricity. Wind power generates no emissions, and displaces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that would otherwise be emitted by fossil fuel-fired electric generation.

Saving Money with FrozCo2

Choosing a wind energy system is a significant purchase decision. Costs vary depending on the companies you choose to purchase wind equipment and installation. FrozCo2 can help with your purchase of a home or business wind energy system through our reverse auction system. Companies compete for your wind project through our reverse auctions system which dramatically lowers the purchase price of your Green Project. The company with the lowest bid at the end of auction is awarded your renewable energy project.

Saving the Environment

Using wind to generate electricity will almost single-handedly keep electric sector emissions from increasing despite dramatically increase demand. Wind energy would reduce carbon dioxide emissions and alleviate the pressure on gas markets by displacing electricity generated by natural gas and coal. Wind energy is already clearing the air and protecting the planet by displacing tons of carbon dioxide. Wind energy as a power source is attractive as an alternative to fossil fuels, because it is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces no greenhouse gas emissions.

Wind Power- How it saves you money!

Economic gain is one of the main benefits of wind energy, both for individuals and for communities. Individuals can save money on their energy bills, and even make money by generating wind power. Communities can diversify their economies and enjoy greater reliance on local resources when their members invest in wind. The economic rewards of owning or leasing a wind turbine operation fall into the following categories: the electricity you don't have to pay for (because you're producing it yourself), revenue you receive for energy you produce, and tax savings and federal and state incentives.

Wind Rebates and Incentives

US states and the federal government have developed incentives for wind energy investors. Low- interest loans for wind projects, exemption from property taxes, and accelerated rates of depreciation for renewable energy equipment are available for most states. The production tax credit was created under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and provides an income tax credit of 2.1 cents/kilowatt-hour for the production of electricity from utility-scale wind turbines. Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (passed in February 2009) Congress acted to provide a three-year extension of the PTC through December 31, 2012. Additionally, wind project developers can choose to receive a 30% investment tax credit (ITC) in place of the PTC for facilities placed in service in 2009 and 2010, and also for the facilities placed in service before 2013 if construction begins before the end of 2010. The ITC then qualifies to be converted to a grant from the Department of Treasury. The Treasury Department must pay the grant within 60 days of an application being submitted. Another tax credit, the small wind system tax credit is available to help consumers purchase small wind turbines for home, farm, or business use. Owners of small wind systems with 100 kilowatts(kW) of capacity or less can receive a credit of 30% of the total installed cost of the system.
