Bright Returns:
Powering Business Growth with Expiring Solar Incentives
This 30-minute webinar (with 15 minutes of Q&A following) focuses on how businesses with real property can successfully incorporate solar energy to dramatically lower energy costs and build resilience against rising utility costs. Join Brady Ware, Melink Solar, and a sixth-generation manufacturer, Long-Stanton, to discover how these businesses can leverage expiring federal solar Investment Tax Credits (ITC) to modernize their energy reliance. Attendees will hear Long-Stanton’s experience and benefits from going solar while we also discuss the latest solar energy market conditions, trends and projections. Lastly, our panel will tie in current tax strategies from a post-One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) world to identify where business owners can maximize a return on their investments through key provisions like bonus depreciation for businesses with real property such as equipment, machinery, real estate, and others.
What you will gain:
- Ohio Energy Update – historical trends, future projections, and impact to your business
- Tax Deadlines & Strategies – how manufacturers can use tax incentives and other OBBBA provisions to lower the net investment of a solar project
- Case Study – understand what an investment in solar looks like for an Ohio manufacturer
- The Manufacturers’ Experience – decision making, solar project process, and how energy savings have helped grow Long-Stanton Manufacturing
