Not only can you take advantage of the financial benefits of renewable energy, but you can also promote an environmentally responsible image for your business when you install a highly visible solar array on your site.
Photovoltaic
Commercial photovoltaic applications are a wise business decision. The positive implications gained by being an environmentally responsible company reach farther than just your energy expenses saved. Gain an edge in a competitive environment while you reap the rewards of a 30% tax credit (no cap) and a five year accelerated depreciation schedule. The benefits don't stop there. Having a commercial grade PV system hedges future electric rate hikes and you may also sell your green power "bragging rights" to generate cash income through "Green Tag" or Renewable Energy Credit (REC) sales.
Solar Hot Water
If your business requires large amounts of hot water, solar thermal might be the cost effective answer you have been looking for. If you are a hotel, a Laundromat or any industrial or commercial application that requires large volumes of hot water adding a solar thermal system will drastically reduce your energy consumption while promoting an environmentally responsible image.
Solar Pool Heaters
Solar pool heaters work well in larger commercial applications as well as residential. Simply by adding additional solar collectors you can keep large community pools warm months longer than you would with no pool heating system at all. Gas powered pool heaters continually demonstrate their inferiority and inefficiency. |
