How to Get Uncle Sam to Pay for Your Hotel’s Solar System!

Dear Hospitality Leader,

Imagine this: slashing your hotel’s utility expenses by five to six figures annually.

Now imagine doing it without spending a single dollar because Uncle Sam pays for everything.

Sounds like a fantasy?

It’s not.

The window to seize this game-changing opportunity is closing fast—by the end of this month, to be exact. Don’t let hesitation cost you the chance to transform your business with Uncle Sam’s help.

The REAP Grant: Tailor-Made for Hotels Like Yours

The USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant covers 50% of the cost of solar energy systems for rural businesses. But here’s the kicker: “rural” includes a surprisingly vast portion of the United States.

If your hotel isn’t in a bustling urban core, you likely qualify!

And that’s just the beginning. By adding a 30% federal tax credit (with a potential boost to 40% for energy community zones or 50% for American-made products), your financial burden gets slashed even further.

Stacked together, these incentives make solar energy for hotels not just affordable but downright irresistible.

Beyond Zero-Cost: Turning Solar into a Profit Center

Still skeptical? Let’s talk numbers:

With accelerated depreciation, you can write off much of the system cost in 2025, slashing your tax liability even more.

Add up the REAP grant, tax credits, and depreciation, and many hotel owners find the savings exceed the system’s cost.

That’s right—Uncle Sam is paying you to upgrade to solar.

$130K in Annual Savings for One Hotelier

Before retiring as CEO of Project SunRize, I had the privilege of helping a hospitality client in a similar position. Their annual energy bill was a staggering $130,000.

We helped them secure $849,000 in REAP grant funding for a $1.7 million solar energy system.

Once we layered on tax credits and depreciation benefits, the entire system was paid for without the owner spending a dime.

The result?

$130,000 in annual savings—every single year. That’s a transformational impact, all achieved with the government’s help.

Imagine What Solar Could Do for Your Hotel

What would you do with an extra $130K each year?

• Upgrade your amenities to attract more guests?
• Hire additional staff to improve service?
• Invest in marketing to boost occupancy?

Solar isn’t just a green energy solution; it’s a strategic financial move that positions your hotel as a leader in sustainability, a driver of profitability, and a standout in your community.

Act Now: The Clock Is Ticking

The REAP grant application deadline is fast approaching—the end of this month.

Delaying could mean missing out on tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings.

Worried about navigating the process? Don’t be. My son's company, Project SunRize, specializes in cutting through red tape so you can focus on running your hotel.

Don’t Miss Out on This Rare Opportunity

Opportunities like this don’t come often, and they don’t stick around. Failing to act now could mean watching competitors take the lead while your energy costs keep dragging your profits down.

When I look back at my time helping businesses harness solar energy, the success stories fill me with pride. Today, I’m inviting you to create your own story.
