Find out how solar panels can help you reduce your company's electricity consumption.
With current electricity prices, bills are an increasingly latent concern among company managers. That is why saving on electricity is one of the best investments you can make in the short term. In this article we will talk about how you can do it with solar panels.
How do solar panels help save electricity?
The installation of solar panels is hypothetically reduced in a power generator. The good design of a photovoltaic plant means that the dimensioning and, therefore, the production of energy from the sun, is in accordance with your consumption. This means that you do not need to consume 100% of the energy coming from the distributor, but you can consume approximately 30% of photovoltaic energy. This has a direct impact on the bill and makes it possible to
save on electricity.
Key points to choose an installer
Today you can find a variety of solar panel installation companies for your company, however, keep in mind:
- The quality of the materials they offer you
- The experience
- Plant layout
- Financial analysis
- Plant maintenance and monitoring services
- Guarantee
You can have a huge photovoltaic plant and not take advantage of it. Taking into account that it can be a large investment, you should keep in mind to make the most of surplus production. That is, the energy that you do not spend.
There are two ways to take advantage of these surpluses:
- Sale: you can agree on a sale price with your distributor. That is, when you pour energy into the network, the distributor buys it from you at an agreed price, which is usually much lower than the purchase price.
- Compensation: it is reflected directly on your electricity bill. That is, a reduction in the invoice price.
The more plates, the greater savings?
As we discussed,
profitability is an important issue. It is often thought that the greater the number of plates, the greater the profitability, and this is not always the case. In the following
article we show you how to calculate it.
Saving electricity with solar panels is a short-term investment
Although before there was talk of a long-term investment, 5 or 10 years, with current electricity prices, we can talk of 2 to 5 years of amortization.
Even so, we can speak of a long-term investment if we refer to the fact that the panels have a useful life of approximately 25 to 30 years.
Being a modular design, you can start with a small plant and expand according to your needs and results. Take advantage, the time to be self-sufficient is now!
