Solar Power Solutions
When your company invests in solar, it’s demonstrating a commitment to preserve the environment by using a renewable energy source, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. These are critical factors to protect human health, wildlife, and important ecosystems for our planet. Additionally, Solar energy is worth it for many businesses for the financial savings alone. Your company will save on electricity rates, even as KPLC tariff rates increase.
There are a few factors to consider for company’s Solar system sizing:
These 2 give us your ideal solar sizing, however we will also have to assess your company’s roof space and general facility infrastructure to identify the practical sized solar system for your location. The greater the available roof space, the more Solar panels that can be accommodated, the greater the savings potential. Determining your optimal solar sizing is a simple process of identifying your total energy use, and then subtracting available rooftop space. Secondary considerations include panel efficiency, roof orientation, and any possible shading impact.
Every client is unique; to determine your potential savings, we have to consider several factors including:
In the early days of the solar adoption many decades ago; solar panel and other component pricing were very expensive. Since then, there has been major technical advances in Solar technology, along with a very gradual reduction in solar pricing. In the last few years especially, pricing and technology have remained relatively stable. Solar panel performance is now very efficient, any most industry experts agree that any future technical advances are likely to be more incremental. Additionally, consider increasing KPLC/utility prices, plus national solar incentives, such as VAT exemption, that may be removed in the future. With these in mind, how much money does your company stand to lose while waiting for marginal improvements in pricing and efficiency?
Most of our client’s buildings have been compatible for solar, however we conduct our own reviews to be sure. Our site assessment includes:
The most critical factor in going solar is ensuring you have a reputable partner to simplify the process and make it easy for your company to transition to renewable energy. We pride ourselves in our turnkey Solar solution that removes the technical and financial constraints of adopting Solar energy. Our process is designed to ensure a smooth installation process from beginning to end:
As with any major investment in an electronic item, it’s important to ensure it’s well made, has a good reputation for reliability and, most importantly, will have a long-lasting high performance.
Solar is a significant investment in your company’s energy savings, and we want to ensure the Solar panels used in our projects will keep producing electricity for the expected lifespan of 25 years, and that the manufacturer offers good warranty coverage. For these reasons, we only use Tier 1 Solar Panels for our Solar installations, including our preferred SunPower Solar Panels, recognized amongst the best globally for efficiency rankings and an exceptional 25 year warranty on both product and performance.
Other factors impacting the selection of panels include size, price, wattage, durability, and manufacturer stability are all important considerations when evaluating the best fit. Our experienced commercial team will be able to explore the various price options and savings scenarios to ensure the best fit for your company.
Solar panels generate the most electricity when they receive intense, unobstructed and direct sunlight. Cloudy, rainy, and darker days will therefore generate less electricity. However our exclusive SunPower Solar Panels uses “cells with a unique one-of-a-kind design that capture a broader range of the sun’s light — including red and blue wavelengths. They make more energy than conventional panels on a cloudy day, making them a good choice for cloudy climates or if trees partially shade your roof during certain times of day.” Please check this link for the full article source.
Short answer: No. With a grid-tied system, Solar does not generate electricity when there is a grid failure or disconnection. This is an important safety safety feature as during power outages, utility repair crews safety can be threatened if there is a local power generator (such as a solar system) sending power back into the grid lines. For this reason, we design our solar systems to automatically shut down during outages.
For clients needing full energy reliability, and experience significant downtime due to blackouts, we do have options that allow for continued solar energy savings during grid failure. Please contact us for further information.
We offer 3 financing options for our clients:
As with any significant investment for your company; there will be associated costs to ensure the continued performance and reliability of your Solar system including:
CP Solar ensures your panels are properly installed and offers affordable maintenance contracts to ensure they remain in peak performance. Our Maintenance team comprises fully qualified technicians, and once the Solar components are adequately serviced, none of then should pose any danger or risks.
We have worked with over 60 commercial and industrial clients, with sizing from 30KW to 1.5MW on a single project, and are happy to share referrals from other companies in your indistry. Contact us today by clicking here!
