Glow Solar offers a comprehensive suite of system offerings that can be combined to create the optimal solar solution for any business or farm based on their needs, goals, and budget. To maximize energy production and ensure reliable, long-lasting performance, we use only Tier 1 equipment selected specifically for the precise needs of each project.
Under the new rules, to qualify for the 30% tax credit, a commercial solar system must either begin construction by July 4, 2026 or be placed in service by December 31, 2027. Glow Solar can help you navigate these still-evolving requirements.
Energy is a significant cost to most businesses and farms. Solar turns that sunk cost into an investment with many benefits. Regardless if your business’ motivation is saving money, hedging against inflation, or making a statement…commercial solar delivers.
All solar project up to 1 MW qualify for guaranteed federal and state incentives that amount to over 45% of project costs.
Recent legislation is ending the 30% federal tax credit for solar!

Solar projects over 1MW involve additional criteria to determine available incentives. Please contact Glow Solar for more information, including the relevant factors and related incentive amounts.
Glow feels that financing offered directly by solar companies very often is not in the best interest of customers – so we don’t provide it. If you are interested in learning more about financing options beyond your established financial partners, we’ll be happy to recommend well-qualified lenders for your consideration.

Glow Solar’s simple, no-cost, no-obligation discovery process focuses on providing all the information needed to determine if solar is right for your business or farm.
We’re happy to assist even if you are just looking to understand how solar could help your operations.
Initial Consultation. Contact us to learn more about commercial solar and Glow’s approach; discuss your facility, operations, energy needs, and budget; and collaboratively identify the priorities and goals for your potential solar system.
Detailed Analysis & Customized System Design. Glow will use your facility’s actual energy usage and rate data in sophisticated energy, solar, and financial modeling tools to design an optimized solar system tailored specifically to your priorities and space. We’ll also prepare a report detailing the system’s cost and anticipated performance and return.
Design Proposal Review. The purpose of this review is to provide all the information you need to determine if solar is right for your business / farm. As such, Glow will discuss the proposed system with you in detail – including the energy production, electricity cost savings, environmental offsets, financial incentives, and payback period you can expect – and answer all your questions.
Site Assessment. If you are interested in continuing, Glow will visit your facility to evaluate the proposed installation area and your facility’s electrical and physical infrastructure (unless this was done as part of the initial consultation)
If you decide to go solar with Glow, we will deliver your system smoothly, efficiently, and with a focus on quality, clear communication, and responsiveness throughout.
Experienced NABCEP-certified Glow team members will manage every step of your project and lead the installation coordinating with your staff and operations as needed.

Commissioning & Monitoring. Glow will conduct thorough system testing, administer the final inspection by the local authority and utility, acquire permission to operate from the utility, and activate performance monitoring – utilizing internet connection provided by the customer.
Energization & Handoff. Glow will energize your system for regular operation and provide your team with a system orientation and handoff documentation.
