Hotel owners and managers are increasingly being tasked with looking for ways to reduce the carbon footprint for their property. Solar energy has been a proven way to meet carbon reduction goals while also reducing operating costs with lower utility bills.
With the increase in energy costs and rising temperatures, electric bills for manufacturing facilities continue to increase. Solar energy can help reduce these costs.
Companies are increasingly setting carbon reduction goals and facilities managers are seeking ways to help their company meet these goals.
The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act increased the solar tax credit to 30% and introduced additional 10% incentives. With these federal incentives, transitioning to solar energy has an impressive ROI.
Our goal from the beginning was to make sure that the investment we make with solar is paid through either providing electricity back to the grid or having a more neutral usage at the hotel. Big Sun Solar came highly recommended to us from a bank we do business with and we now have Big Sun solar panels on many of our hotels throughout San Antonio and plan on rolling it out to other hotels throughout the country. We would definitely recommend Big Sun to anyone in the hotel industry but also to anyone who wants solar.

"Our preschool is the first campus to have LEED platinum certification in the United States and only second in the planet. Big Sun Solar was really involved, integrated and invested in this project and can be proud of what we were able to accomplish here with us."
"We at Ancira are excited to bring solar carports to our dealership because not only will it bring long term savings for our business, but we’re able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide shade to our customers, and it makes us feel like we’re being good stewards of our community."
"We get the real benefit on our insurance premium for our inventory so that was the biggest financial driver on top of tax credits plus accelerated depreciation. I would tell my fellow dealers to contact Big Sun Solar to look at the opportunity and have them crunch the numbers."
