A conversation with an experienced solar system company will help you determine if your commercial or industrial roof is s good fit for a solar power system. This decision will be based upon several factors, including the type of roof and the location of the building.

If your roof is a good fit, then having a solar panel system professionally installed could help you start saving money on your energy bills, and reducing your businesses carbon footprint, among other benefits.

Below are just 5 of the many reasons why more businesses are making the switch to solar power:

  1. Solar power can save you money

By generating part, or all of your electricity needs, a solar panel system can help your business reduce, and in some cases, even eliminate, its electricity bills month on month, and will continue to do so for as long as you want it to. All businesses look to save money wherever they can, and if you want to make significant energy savings, going solar could be the solution.

  1. With a solar system, you gain more control

When you have a solar panel system installed at your business, you can immediately begin having more control over such things as: the rising cost of energy and monthly finances, and in the event of an emergency that impacts the grid, you’ll be able to maintain complete control over your power. Having such control can also have a positive impact psychologically, because you worry less about high energy bills and what can happen in the event of a grid power outage. 

  1. There are incentives for going solar

Thanks to energy suppliers being able to purchase excess electricity generated by your solar system from you (known as net metering), and SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits), business owners can actually make money in the form of cash or credits, from generating their own electricity.

  1. Solar systems can increase a buildings market value

Because of the many benefits associated with switching to solar power, the mere presence of a solar panel system on a building can significantly increase its value; sometimes by more than 10%. This means that not only do you benefit from lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint, but you might even be able to sell your business for more should you need, or want to.

  1. Going solar is great for the environment

Carbon emissions are slowly destroying the planet, and most modern businesses are taking active steps to reduce their own carbon footprint. By giving you clean and sustainable power, a solar panel system is perfect for helping your business protect the environment.
