As a business owner or member of a management team, you are sure to be well aware of the cost of electricity and how that fluctuation and often increase in the price of commercial power can impact your company’s bottom line. This challenge can be even more daunting when operating a business in the Southwest, with temperatures that flare over 100 degrees for months each summer. However, that same sunlight that is causing the temperature in your office, manufacturing facility, or storage warehouse to skyrocket could also be the solution to your power
needs. All you need to do is reach out to the team at Solar Group to learn why the three most common myths about commercial solar power are not remotely close to
the truth.
Myth 1 – Solar Power Is Not Efficient Enough For Commercial Applications
If your business is located in the Southwest, you typically enjoy over 300 days of full sun each year. That is typically more than enough to meet the needs of any business in the area that has space to install ample solar panels to begin harnessing the power of the sun. In addition, even if you are in other parts of the country that enjoy fewer sunny days, you should know that a few hours of sunlight, not even bright sun from a cloudless sky, is enough for most companies to offset all of their energy demands with solar power. The team at Solar Group is eager to review your property and provide information on solar panels and solar storage solutions to help you understand how easy it would be to unplug from the grid and let the sun provide the power for your commercial property.
Myth 2 – Commercial Solar Equipment Is Too Expensive To Purchase And Install
As with all technology, it becomes far more cost-effective as it ages. Solar components for a commercial system have decreased significantly in the last few years. In addition, the durability and life expectancy of the equipment and the entire system have increased dramatically. Today’s systems that are designed and installed by Solar Group are projected to function for roughly 30 years. By comparison, the payback period for the same systems ranges from 5 to 10 years based on the location of your commercial facility and the cost of the power you are
buying from the grid.A company in California, which has notoriously high energy costs, can expect a payback period of closer to five years. In addition, the Solar Group team can provide more information about tax credits and other regional savings offered to businesses going solar to ensure your payback period is as short as possible.
Myth 3 – Commercial Solar Equipment Has No Warranty
When you work with the professionals at Solar Group, you have the added peace ofmind of our decades of combined expertise in the solar energy arena. That means, when we design the solar system for your commercial property, we will spec the most reliable equipment from the manufacturers that provide the best warranty and service record for their products. Most of the equipment used in our systems has warranties that extend well beyond the average payback period for the system. In addition, quality solar panels now typically carry performance guarantees that
they will generate at least 80% of the power they did at installation, even when they have been in service for 25 years.
Please reach out to the commercial solar power pros at Solar Group to learn more about the facts of commercial solar systems rather than the rumors that are common among those with little understanding and vision of the power source for the future.
