Lower Electric Bill
Energy expenditures can add up to a significant line item for most
businesses and rising energy prices can rapidly erode profit margins.
When you use solar energy to power your business, you can lock in lower
energy prices for the long-term.
When your business switches to solar power, you are hedging against
rising utility rates and you will no longer have to budget for dramatic
or unpredictable increases. You can lock in low, predictable
electricity costs for years into the future. As utility rates continue
to rise, your savings will grow every year.
Dramatically Reduce Your Utility Bill
When your business begins to generate its own solar power, your
electricity bill will drop significantly. You will still draw some
power from the utility grid, but at a lower-priced rate tier. Solar may
also help you avoid peak demand surges.
The Green Supply Company will design a system that's right for your business, and
determine the optimal utility rate structure for your remaining energy
needs.
In addition, you will be protecting your business from future utility rate increases for years to come.
Sell Excess Power to the Utility Company
When your solar system generates more electricity than your
facility can immediately use, your excess power flows back to the
utility grid and your meter literally spins backward! Most utility
companies will credit you for this electricity.
Your solar system produces the most electricity during the middle of
the day, during "peak" hours when the utility rates are at their
highest.
This is to your advantage, because you can sell excess electricity
to the utility company at high peak rates in the afternoon, and buy
electricity back at lower "off-peak" rates during other times of the
day and at night.
You buy low and sell high! This is referred to as "net metering" and can reduce your electricity bill even further.
Minimal Maintenance
Solar systems have no moving parts, so there is very little ongoing
maintenance required. The Green Supply Company solar panels carry extensive warranties
and are exceptionally well made so that you don’t have to worry about
spending money on system maintenance.
With a Green Supply Company Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), repairs and maintenance are included as part of the service.
Attractive Investment
With solar, you can achieve significant savings on electricity costs over the life of your system.
Typical project payback is 5-10 years and after-tax returns for solar can be 15%-25%. With a Green Supply Company PPA, you can save money immediately with zero upfront investment.
