Last Chance: Create a Cash-Generating Asset Before 30% ITC Ends
If you installed solar in California under NEM 1 (roughly 2008-2017), you own one of the most valuable energy assets in the state today.
Your grandfathered NEM 1 agreement is locked in for 20 years from the original install date and pays you full retail rate for every kWh you produce, which is something no new system will ever get again.
Your system is an asset worth tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars per year, depending on system size.
But here’s the reality:
Inverters are 10-15 years old – they’re out of warranty, more prone to issue or failure, and replacement parts for legacy brands are getting scarce and expensive.
Panels have degraded 8-15%, not performing as well as they once did, leaving money on the table daily.
Outdated equipment and software can’t keep up with recent industry advancements.
You now have two choices:
Stay stagnant with your aging system and continue to see diminishing returns, or
Repower your system now, capturing the full 30% federal ITC and accelerated depreciation that expires for good after December 31, 2025.
Repowering: instant cash + a system that performs “better than new” + zero headaches.
The JKB Energy Repower Process:
We purchase your existing system through an Energy Services Agreement (ESA), and you immediately receive a payment for it. We then replace the system’s underperforming components with today’s best-in-class equipment. You’re locked into long-term savings, shielded from rising utility rates, and released from the burden of cleaning & maintenance.
Outcomes & benefits for our clients:
25-40% increase in annual kWh production from new 620 watt panels + 99% efficient inverters.
Retain NEM 1 grandfathering and continue to be paid full retail pricing for every new kWh.
Our team takes care of all O&M, monitoring, cleaning, and repairs.
Added battery storage with repowering slashes demand charges that now routinely exceed 50% of commercial bills.
Why this is your last chance:
The 30% ITC ends in 2026. For a $500k repower project, you’re leaving $150,000+ on the table permanently if you wait.
Component prices are rising again in 2026 due to global supply chain pressures and new tariffs.
If your system is 10+ years old, NOW is the time move forward and repower.
We’re currently working with farms and businesses throughout the Central Valley – they keep their priceless NEM 1 billing and walk away with an immediate cash benefit, higher output, and zero maintenance risk.
