Ductworks, Inc.’s initial motivation to install a solar energy system was the lucrative federal tax credits. The financial benefits of Federal Investment Tax Credit, Xcel Rebates and asset depreciation created a compelling cash positive investment for Ductworks, Inc.

“We interviewed three of the larger commercial solar installation firms,” said Don Kaufman, President, Ductworks. “We chose Bella Energy because of their comprehensive knowledge of solar electricity, and they took the time to understand and design a solar energy system to meet the unique needs of our facility.”

The 9.8kW system was installed to offset a portion of Ductworks’ total electrical usage. The new solar system, coupled with lighting upgrades, has reduced electrical energy costs by approximately 50 percent. By installing the new solar system, Ductowrks was able to take advantage of critical tax credits and simultaneously lower long term operating costs.

“I think we made a great decision in choosing Bella Energy and I’m happy with the way everything worked out. They addressed all of our concerns in a timely and professional manner. I was really happy working with Bella Energy.” Don Kaufman, President, Ductworks Inc.
