Three disciplines. One company. One warranty. Reliant is the EPC contractor businesses, schools, and property owners call when commercial solar needs to be done right the first time.
Established 2023 in South Plainfield, NJ. Privately held — engineering, procurement, and construction under one roof, on one warranty.
Every joint, conduit, and connection — backed by the crew that did the work.
Output guaranteed. If your system underperforms its model, we make you whole.
Tier-1 panels & inverters. Manufacturer warranty passed straight to you.
Most solar companies sell you a panel and call a subcontractor. We engineer your system, procure the equipment, and construct it ourselves — three disciplines, one company, zero finger-pointing when something needs to be made right.
In-house engineering team. Structural analysis, energy modeling, interconnection studies, and system design tuned to your facility's load profile — not a one-size-fits-all template.
Direct relationships with leading panel and inverter manufacturers. We specify what we install, and what we install is what's on the contract — backed by 25-year product warranties.
We don't subcontract installation to whoever bid the lowest. Our certified crews build every array, and our 10-year workmanship warranty stands behind every joint, conduit, and connection.
Commercial buyers — go deeper
See full commercial servicesDirect manufacturer relationships with the panel, inverter, racking, and roof partners we put on every Reliant install. Same gear, same warranties, every project.
We design and build the full clean-energy stack for commercial buildings. Most projects are solar-only. The best projects pair solar with storage and electrification for compounding savings and resilience.
Rooftop, ground-mount, and carport arrays designed for commercial loads. Tier-1 panels and microinverters or string inverters depending on your facility profile.
Lithium-ion battery systems for demand-charge management, peak shaving, and resilience. Sized for your demand profile, not a residential template.
Heat pumps, EV charging, and process electrification — paired with solar generation so you control your fuel source and cost trajectory.
Lifetime monitoring on every system we install. Production diagnostics, alerting, and dispatch when something needs attention.
From the first phone call to year 25 of monitoring, you'll work with the same team. Here's exactly how a commercial project moves from "interested" to "powered up."
A 20-minute conversation. Tell us about your building, your utility bills, your goals. We tell you whether commercial solar makes sense — honestly. If it doesn't, we'll say so.
Our engineers run the numbers: structural capacity, energy modeling, interconnection feasibility, financing scenarios. You get a fixed proposal — not a placeholder.
We handle the paperwork (permits, utility, incentive applications) while we procure your hardware. Our crews mobilize, build, and commission. Most commercial systems: 8–14 weeks on site.
PTO from your utility, system goes live, monitoring portal in your hand. We watch every kWh for the next 25 years and call you before you call us if anything drifts.
Pick up the phone for a quick read on your project, or send your building details and we'll come back with a fixed-price EPC proposal within one business day.
The right financing structure depends on your tax position, balance-sheet preferences, and your real-estate strategy. We'll help you model all four side-by-side.
Solar equipment qualifies for 5-year MACRS depreciation, and current bonus-depreciation rules let you accelerate the schedule heavily. After applying the half-basis reduction for ITC interaction, the depreciation deduction is worth roughly 26% of your project cost in tax savings — most of it landing in year one.
Stack it on the federal ITC and well-positioned commercial buyers are looking at roughly 56% of project cost recovered in tax benefits in year one alone.
Commercial solar typically qualifies for a 30% federal Investment Tax Credit — a direct, dollar-for-dollar reduction of your federal tax liability in the year your system is placed in service.
Per IRC §50(c)(3), claiming the ITC reduces your depreciable basis by half the credit amount. On a $1M project taking a $300K ITC, the basis you depreciate is $1M − $150K = $850K.
Under 2026 rules, 20% bonus depreciation applies to the reduced basis as a first-year deduction. On the $850K basis above, that's a $170K first-year write-off on top of the ITC.
Whatever depreciable basis is left after the bonus deduction is recovered on the standard 5-year MACRS half-year-convention schedule (20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%) through years 1–6.
Turnkey project: engineering, panels, inverters, racking, electrical, install, commissioning.
Direct credit against year-one federal tax liability. Reduces taxes owed dollar-for-dollar.
Per IRC §50(c)(3). Your depreciable basis is the project cost minus this amount.
The amount eligible for accelerated and standard MACRS depreciation deductions.
20% × $850K. Recovered as a first-year deduction under 2026 IRS schedules.
Depreciated over the standard 5-year MACRS half-year-convention schedule across years 1–6.
Add the depreciation tax shield from years 2–6 on the remaining $680K MACRS basis and the total tax benefit climbs toward the ~56% figure above. Realized value depends on your marginal federal + state rate.
Numbers reflect 2026 IRS schedules under current bonus-depreciation phase-down rules. Specific outcomes depend on your tax position, marginal rate, and project structure — every Reliant proposal is framed for direct hand-off to your CPA before any capital is deployed.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) runs the Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) Administratively Determined Incentive (ADI) program — a fixed-price incentive paid per MWh of solar production for 15 years. Each project locks in its SREC-II rate at registration and earns that exact dollar amount on every megawatt-hour for the full program term.
Schools, hospitals, and other qualifying public entities receive an additional $$20/MWh on most non-residential tiers.
A 1 mw rooftop in NJ produces ~1,250 MWh / yr of clean energy. At the Large Non-Res Rooftop tier rate of $90 / MWh (SREC-II), that's locked-in SREC-II revenue on top of utility-bill savings and any federal tax benefits.

Three independent warranties stack to cover everything that could go wrong with your system, for as long as a system might reasonably last. We back the work, the gear, and the production.
Every joint, conduit, and connection — by the crew that did the work.
Output guaranteed. If your system underperforms its model, we make you whole.
Tier-1 panels & inverters. The same warranty the manufacturer gives, passed straight to you.
Send us your facility details. We'll come back with a fixed-price EPC proposal — engineering, procurement, construction, and 25-year warranties on one document.
Four notes a year. Real-world project takeaways, incentive deadlines, and tariff shifts that move the needle on commercial solar economics. No fluff.
