Markets

Market adoption of solar energy is driven by competing energy costs, tax incentives, rebates, and "green premiums". Ascendant serves those markets where the economic and environmental value of solar outshines any other energy source.

Considering that solar energy is free, the value of offset energy purchases may be modeled several ways:

  • As a 25-year energy futures contract locking-in at today's rates1;
  • As an investment with an Internal Rate of Return as high as 20% in 5 years2; and
  • As rental 'income' from the rooftop square footage.

Our packages and systems have been tailored especially to meet the financial and energy requirements of commercial and institutional customers. Using our installer network, we also offer residential systems which lock-in energy costs for the next 25-years.

  1. 25-years is the limited warranty period for crystalline photovoltaic panels; the practical design life of photovoltaic and solar thermal panels is 30-years or longer.
  2. Internal Rate of Return is modeled using offset energy purchases, tax credits, depreciation benefits, rebates, and renewable energy credits when available.
