That's right! State and federal governments are currently subsidizing up to 60% of the cost to install a solar power system. But state rebates are declining rapidly based on scheduled participation milestones (see chart below). And the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit is currently set to expire at the end of 2016. The federal tax credit alone accounts for 30% off a new solar power system! The longer you wait to install a solar panel system on your farm or vineyard, the less the government will subsidize. If you dream of having a solar farm or solar vineyard, you need to act quickly.

Now is the time to reserve rebates and qualify for federal tax credits to offset up to 60% of the cost for a new solar panel system that can light your cellars, run your machinery, and meet your seasonal energy needs. Premier Power can help your solar vineyard secure the highest rebates available.

Premier Power is a preferred provider of solar photovoltaic power systems for farms and vineyards, meeting their seasonal needs with clean, renewable energy generated on-site. Premier Power has designed and installed solar panel systems for numerous wineries and wine industry businesses, including:

High electrical rates have become one of the more expensive and unpredictable costs of running a winery. Average electricity rates have increased approximately 2 cents per kilowatt hour in 1970 to approximately 15 cents per kilowatt hour in 2001*, an average rate of increase of approximately 7% per year.

Solar photovoltaic electricity allows a vineyard to lock in low electricity rates for the next 30 years. If rates increase as they have historically, the price of electricity from electric service providers in 30 years will be over a dollar per kilowatt hour! (see chart below)

With a Premier Power solar photovoltaic power system, you can run your facilities utilizing clean and abundant solar electricity, which will reduce your operating costs with at least a 12% Return On Investment (ROI) and a payback of just a few years! In other words, your business can take control of energy costs for the next 30 years!

Pay the electric service providers and have nothing to show for it, or take that money and invest in a Premier Power solar panel system to reduce operating costs, increase your competitive advantage, improve your company image, and help the environment.

As a California solar power installer, Premier Power is helping its customers save millions of dollars on their electric bills. But it's not just the value of the electricity produced that drives the cost down, it's also the ability to sell the excess solar electricity back to the electric service providers, known as net metering. These savings are dramatic, especially for wineries and vineyards with high electricity demands.

National polls consistently show that the general public (by a 48%+ margin) wants to see increased usage of solar energy. Being a green business can not only reduce your operating costs, but can also be a great source of public relations. Studies have shown that the general public responds positively to businesses that implement energy-conscious technologies, even when its knowledge of how these technologies work is limited.

Premier Power will assist your organization in highlighting your commitment through press opportunities, dedication events, local and national media outreach and more.
