Utilizing commercial and industrial roof spaces for solar installation is getting popular in Singapore for several reasons: limited land space, sustainability goals and high solar potential. The main benefits of solar are energy cost savings and reducing environmental impacts.
Lower Energy Bills, Lower Operating Costs
Solar energy can reduce the electricity bills for businesses and with the longevity of the solar system, it will make significant cost savings in the long run. The amount of savings depends on the following factors:
– Capacity of the solar installation: The bigger the scale of the solar system, the more electricity it generates. Available roof space for solar panel installation plays a huge factor in the determination of solar production. Due to the economy of scale, a larger system will also be more cost effective and typically can achieve a faster ROI.
– Efficiency of the solar components: Choosing the right solar components is like hiring the right employee to run the business. Choosing Tier-One solar panel and reliable inverter for the installation are crucial to ensure optimal system performance and reliability of the warranty support by the manufacturers.
Invest in solar to take control of your energy costs
Firstly, by generating your own electricity with your rooftop solar system, your business will reduce its dependence on the electricity from the grid. This will stabilize your operating cost by minimizing the impact of fluctuating electricity prices on your business.
Secondly, solar is a one-time investment. After installing solar in Singapore, with the all-year-summer weather, your cost of electricity generation will be relatively stable. The ongoing cost to maintain your solar system will be your annual preventive maintenance which is rather predictable as compared to variable electricity prices. This makes perfect sense for businesses to adopt solar with lower and predictable energy bills.
Enhance sustainability and improve public image of your business
Powering your operation with solar is a great step forward to enhance the sustainability of your business. Visualize this: sleek solar panels line the rooftop of your building, capturing abundant sunlight and converting it into renewable energy to power your operation. This image alone speaks volume about your effort and commitment to sustainability.
Ways to enhance your business’s green image with solar:
– Showcasing your solar installation by organizing tours to view your rooftop solar installation to your customers, partners and stakeholders
– Featuring your solar installation prominently on your website and social media to boost sustainability to your digital image as an energy efficient business
