Turn Your Energy Costs Into a Revenue Stream.
The post-OBBB tax landscape created a historic window for commercial and industrial businesses. 100% bonus depreciation is now permanent. Battery storage ITC runs through 2033. VPP participation turns your facility into a grid asset that generates monthly revenue. VoltLogic stacks every available incentive to maximize your Year 1 return.
The ITC Window Is Closing
Solar and wind projects must begin construction before July 4, 2026 to qualify for the full 30% ITC. Battery storage is exempt and continues through 2033. The 5% Safe Harbor has been eliminated for projects over 1.5 MW — only the Physical Work Test qualifies.
§ 48E ITC Begin Construction Deadline
Solar/wind must begin construction before this date. Battery storage exempt through 2033.
§ Incentive Stack
Post-OBBB Tax Landscape
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (July 4, 2025) restructured federal energy incentives. Here's what survived, what improved, and what you need to act on now.
30% Investment Tax Credit
30% of project cost
Dollar-for-dollar reduction of your federal tax bill. Solar/wind must begin construction before July 4, 2026. Battery storage continues through 2033.
100% Bonus Depreciation
Full cost, Year 1
Deduct the entire cost of your solar or battery system in the year you install it. Made permanent by OBBB. Combined with ITC = ~47.8% Year 1 recovery.
Domestic Content Bonus
+10% (total 40%)
Additional 10% ITC for projects using US-manufactured equipment. Requires documentation of domestic content compliance.
Energy Community Bonus
+10% (total 40%)
Additional 10% ITC for projects in qualifying census tracts (DAC — Disadvantaged Communities). Many California industrial areas qualify.
Section 179 Expensing
Up to $2.5M/year
California-specific alternative to bonus depreciation. CA doesn't conform to federal bonus depreciation but DOES allow Section 179. Limit raised to $2.5M.
Credit Transferability
Sell unused credits
Businesses generating energy credits they can't fully use can sell them to unrelated taxpayers for cash. Preserved under OBBB.

Bonus Depreciation
At 21% corporate rate on $850K basis

§ Virtual Power Plant
What Is a Virtual Power Plant?
A VPP aggregates distributed energy resources — your battery, your solar, your EV chargers — and dispatches them as a coordinated grid asset. You earn revenue every time the grid calls on your facility.
Install Battery Storage
VoltLogic manages procurement and installation of a grid-scale battery system at your facility.
Enroll in VPP
Your battery is enrolled in a Virtual Power Plant program through your utility (PG&E, SCE, or SDG&E).
Earn Grid Revenue
During peak demand events, your battery discharges to the grid. You earn revenue for every kWh dispatched.
Ongoing Optimization
Our AI continuously optimizes charge/discharge cycles to maximize revenue while maintaining your operational needs.
