Common questions
Is the 30% federal tax credit still available?+
Yes. The 30% federal ITC available for commercial solar placed in service by December 31, 2027. Projects take months to permit, build, and interconnect, so start early.
Does solar work with Minnesota snow?+
Yes. Cold temperatures increase panel efficiency, racking is engineered for MN snow loads, and snow usually sheds within 48 hours.
How is the potential value increase calculated?+
Annual energy savings divided by a 7% cap rate. Lower utility costs raise Net Operating Income (NOI), so every $1 saved per year adds about $14 of property value, if the owner pays the utility bill.
Will solar raise my property taxes?+
No. Minnesota law exempts the value added by solar energy systems from property tax.
Who designs and installs the system?+
Apadana does. Our engineers design every system, and our licensed crews install it, from roof assessment through utility interconnection.
