What Are Commercial Solar Panels?
A commercial solar energy system offers distributed generation, meaning the energy produced by your system can be used both at the point of generation and in nearby structures. Most commercial solar installation projects are connected to the local electrical grid so that you can take advantage of net metering.
Commercial or industrial solar panels are larger than those typically used for residential buildings. You also have many solar panel installation options for your commercial solar project, such as:
- Roof space
- Carports
- Parking lots
- Large ground-mounted arrays
Business Benefits of Going Solar
Whether you run an organization looking to cut costs or an industrial facility searching for a cleaner energy source, installing commercial solar power panels offers many benefits for your business.
Solar Saves Businesses Money
Solar energy’s greatest advantage is that it can reduce or even eliminate your monthly electrical and utility bills. Utilities are a huge expense no matter the size of your company. Large operations with expansive facilities are especially vulnerable to high electrical costs. Saving money on power each month can significantly impact your total operating costs and help you gain a competitive edge.
You can also save money on the actual installation. There are many tax credits and state incentives when you install solar panels for your business.
Return on Investment
Between the federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and other federal incentives that decrease the overall cost of investing in solar for your business, solar energy offers incredible ROI. Though the upfront costs may feel substantial, solar generates both long-term savings and quick returns.
Reliable, Maintenance-Free Energy Systems
Solar panels generally require very little maintenance, offering a reliable source of clean energy when you need it. Periodic light cleanings will be needed to keep your panels free from dirt, leaves and other debris that could obstruct the sun’s rays.
Extra Energy Storage
If you choose to install an energy storage system (battery) along with your panels, excess energy can be stored and released whenever you need it. Think of it as putting some backup energy away for emergency situations such as blackouts or natural disasters. By increasing your energy production with a solar panel system and storing the excess, you’ll be prepared for any situation.
Green Reputation
In business, reputation is everything. By going solar, your company can demonstrate its commitment to responsible business practices and protecting the environment. Installing solar power shows your commitment to corporate responsibility and decreasing your carbon footprint.
