Captive C&I solar systems can be roof-mounted, ground-mounted or carport-mounted. The energy consumption for businesses often peaks at midday which matches the peak energy production of the PV system. This energy can be used immediately to reduce the energy needed from the grid or Diesel Genset. The excess energy can be stored in a battery or fed into the grid for a feed-in tariff – creating passive income for the business.
With increasing energy costs, C&I solar systems enable commercial and industrial customers to dramatically reduce their electricity bill and even become independent of grid power. Customers can expect a rapid payback (4 -6 years) and once paid off, electricity from solar is effectively free going forward.
Many corporations have massive manufacturing facilities and commercial buildings with expansive, flat roof space – the perfect place to generate clean, inexpensive solar power while reducing their carbon footprint. Here is a summary of the benefits.
- Save your energy bills.
- High reliability and no maintenance
- Marketing your green credentials by demonstrating to your customers, suppliers and the industry that you care about the environment and are committed to investing in the future; brings you more business.
- Increased property value
