Protection Against Utility Price Increases
Solar is also a hedge against future utility price increases, as businesses can lock in low energy rates for the long term.
Install Costs Offset By Incentives and Rebates
In many cases, the upfront cost of installing a solar system can be offset by government incentives and rebates. The federal government offers a 30% tax credit for solar installations, while many states offer additional incentives.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Solar energy is a clean, renewable resource that produces no emissions or pollution. As businesses look to reduce their environmental impact, solar is an increasingly attractive option.
Increased Sustainability
By using solar power, businesses can increase their sustainability and become more environmentally responsible. This can be a major selling point for consumers, as more and more people are interested in supporting sustainable businesses.
PV cells are often combined into larger modules or "panels." When multiple PV modules are connected together, it's called a solar array. Solar arrays come in all shapes and sizes and can be used to power everything from small electronics to entire homes and businesses.
