How Business Owners Are Protecting
Margins by Lowering Operating Costs
(No Capital Required)
Lower your operating costs without draining your cash reserve. Government incentives handle most of the upfront cost. Accessible solar. Instant relief in year one
Note From Brian and Jon CFO & Founder of Strategic Solar Capital
Dear Business Owner,
Are your energy bills climbing faster than your revenue?
You know the feeling: every month, that utility statement hits harder than it did last year. And you're stuck watching costs rise while lenders and competitors question why your operating expenses won't stabilize.
Here's what most solar companies get WRONG: They talk about "long-term ROI" and "10-year payback periods." That's great if you can wait a decade for relief. But you need savings NOW. You need to free up cash flow THIS quarter. You need lower operating costs that show up on next month's P&L.
You're not alone in feeling that pressure.
And here's the truth—most solar companies don't understand YOUR financial reality. They understand panels and installation timelines. They DON'T understand that you need immediate bill reduction, accessible pricing, and maximum incentive coverage so the investment doesn't drain your operating budget.
That frustrated me for years.
I spent 16 years as a CFO working with mid-market businesses. I saw owners struggle with rising energy costs, then hesitate on solar because the upfront investment felt too risky. But when we started stacking incentives—federal rebates, provincial programs, utility credits—something shifted. Solar went from "expensive investment" to "immediate cash flow relief."
So we built something different: The Incentive-Stacked Solar Solution.
It's not about waiting 10 years. It's about cutting your energy costs THIS YEAR while government incentives cover the majority, if not all, of your installation costs. Immediate relief. Accessible pricing. Real savings.
Here's What Makes Us Different:
Incentive Stacking That Actually Works – We combine federal rebates, provincial programs, and utility incentives to cover up to 80% of your upfront costs. You're not paying full price—the government is subsidizing your solar.
Immediate Bill Reduction – See relief in year one. Your energy bills drop starting THIS quarter and compound throughout the year. That's cash flow relief you can actually measure and use immediately.
$0 Down Options – No capital needed upfront. Incentive coverage + financing = solar without draining your reserves.
Real Numbers, No Hype – Your custom analysis shows exactly how much you'll save annually, what incentives apply to your business, and your realistic payback timeline.
Imagine This…
Instead of dreading your next energy bill, you actually smile when it arrives.
Because your solar system is already cutting costs, incentives are covering most of the installation, and you're freeing up thousands of dollars in annual cash flow.
Your operating expenses drop. Your bottom line strengthens. Your CFO (or your board) sees lower utility costs on the balance sheet immediately.
You stop bleeding money to rising utility rates—and start keeping it.
No waiting 10 years.
No financial strain upfront.
Just immediate savings and accessible solar that actually makes sense for YOUR business.
If you're ready to see exactly how much you can save THIS year and what incentives cover your installation, start with your free Solar Savings & Incentives Analysis. It's the fastest way to get real numbers—whether you want to cut bills this quarter or free up cash flow for growth.

How Business Owners Cut Energy Costs (And Kept the Savings) Business Owner Stories
They’ve got pretty good customer service. It’s a complicated, expensive and slow process, but they outline it well and communicate well. I was pleased with the installation and so far the product. They handle all of the permitting with local government as well.
I met with a couple of the larger corporate solar companies and got the used car salesman feeling after hearing their sales pitch. Jon was knowledgeable, patient, and down to earth. He took the time to design a system that fit my needs perfectly and has performed as advertised. The install was done in a day and the workmanship was flawless. Jon even lined up a crew to trim and remove any trees that blocked the panels. I have recommended this company to friends and family and will continue to do so.
We have great news to share. Last Thursday, just before dusk, I had the chance to turn the system on. The system is working and fully online—PERFECT! SCSP Solar delivered one of the best installations and products we've ever purchased. The entire process—from the initial quote to going online and generating the first kWhs—was completed in under nine weeks. That’s impressive for such a complex solar system! We truly appreciate all of you and everyone involved in this process for your hard work and dedication!
My wife and I spoke with a number of solar companies before we connected with SCSP Solar. Switching to solar can be a daunting process, but it was obvious to us from the first meeting that SCSP Solar had their act together and knew what they were doing. They designed a system that was not only tailored to meet our specific energy needs but also sits discretely on the southern exposure of our roof so that it's hardly even noticeable. The SCSP team worked with us every step of the way, from system design to filing all the paperwork to installation, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The system works as advertised, and we are already seeing a HUGE reduction in our electricity bill. The app used to monitor the system is easy to use and allows us to monitor the system performance any time we want. We enthusiastically recommend SCSP Solar to anyone interested in switching to solar.
We had been wanting to install solar panels for two years and waited until we had found a company we wanted to work with. SCSP is run by people who have solar panels themselves and have high standards for making their design match customer electricity consumption. We have some shade on our panels, and they accounted for that in their design. We are making the electricity we expected to make. Our questions were answered with a lot of expertise, and they helped us understand our electricity bill which is a little confusing at first. SCSP is well-regarded by roofing companies and has longevity in the business, both of which are important to us. We recommend SCSP highly.
SCSP did an excellent job with our solar installation. Jon Mason was efficient and professional, and was able to size the system, build a rendering, and explain the entire process during our first consultation. The installation took about half a day, startup went smoothly, and every phase of the process was painless.
