Energy sourced from the grid is expensive, and it fluctuates in price depending on the time of day and the day of the week, leaving you unsure as to how much you will be required to pay on a monthly basis.
A properly sized solar power system can reduce your monthly costs. And because solar sourced from your panels is free of charge, you can lock in low, more consistent rates at times when you must pull energy from the grid. Better predict expenses and cash flow with solar.
Demand charges are additional rates which utilities charge commercial customers to keep a constant supply of electricity. The demand charge is an added expense on top of an already costly energy bill. The demand charge price depends on a few variables and is therefore an unpredictable cost month to month.
Going solar may not eliminate demand charges, but can considerably reduce them. When solar panels send excess electricity to the energy grid, the overall peak demand on the grid is reduced, and market prices for electricity are lower. Reducing the cost of your monthly demand charges is a great way to save big with solar.
With no moving parts, solar systems provide energy that you can rely on day after day. Modern solar panels have ultra slow degradation rates and come with long-term warranties—solar truly is clean energy your business can count on.
