Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Guatemala?

Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Guatemala. The Guatemalan government offers a number of tax credits and other financial incentives to encourage businesses to invest in renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include a 30% income tax credit for investments in renewable energy projects, an exemption from import taxes on equipment used for renewable energy projects, and a 10-year property tax exemption on the value of the solar system installed. Additionally, the government has established net metering regulations that allow businesses to sell excess electricity generated by their solar systems back into the grid at market rates.
