Solar Lighting Incentives in Louisiana

Louisiana has always been a state that embraces diversity and mixing things up. So why not mix up your energy needs by switching to commercial outdoor lighting for your business or residential properties? By installing Greenshine solar lights you can immediately—and at almost anytime of the year—start saving on your energy costs.

Boasting over 200 days of Sunshine, the “Pelican State” is in a great position to be making the switch to solar for all outdoor lighting needs. Incentives and programs in the state have propped up the industry to make it not just competitive, but in some cases more affordable than traditionally-powered methods which have dominated the state for quite some time. Federal Investment Tax Credits (ITC) can save you 30% on the cost of installing outdoor solar powered lights. In addition, South Western Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) as part of its C&I solutions program provides various incentives to its commercial and industrial customers to save energy on their outdoor solar lighting needs.

There are more incentives to keep money in your pocket beyond these! Commercial solar powered lighting saves you time and money by avoiding trenching and wiring which can tear up your streets and bank account. For comparison, trenching for original power lines may cost you $75,000 while our services run on average of $45,000. That’s a savings of $30,000! Not to mention the additional year-over-year saving costs of installing solar lighting.

Greenshine New Energy makes it easy to install solar powered lighting for your business or municipality. There has never been a better time to switch to outdoor solar power lighting to diversify the energy needs of Louisiana.
