Bosch and Buderus Solar Thermal Systems for Commercial Use

Bosch and Buderus offer a number of Solar Thermal Systems, any of which may help reach the goal of saving at least 50% of the heating energy of a building that meets ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001. Buildings that achieve this goal may be eligible under the tax stimulus for a tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot. Partial deductions of up to $.60 per square foot can be taken for measures affecting the building's heating and cooling systems. These tax deductions are available for systems "placed in service" from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2013. The new act also includes additional incentives for energy efficiency improvements to school buildings plus Department of Defense and other Federal buildings.

Bosch and Buderus solar panels are OG-100 certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) and OG-300 certification for our systems is in process and expected by May 2009.

Notice 2006-52 provides a process that allows a taxpayer who owns a commercial building and installs property as part of the commercial building's interior lighting systems, heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems, or building envelope to obtain a certification that the property satisfies the energy efficiency requirements of § 179D(c)(1) and (d) of the Internal Revenue Code. Notice 2006-52 also provides for a public list of software programs that may be used in calculating energy and power consumption for purposes of § 179D.
