Light Industrial
Energy costs continue to escalate and remain unpredictable causing frustration when it comes to budgeting and forecasting. If you are a "light industrial" business owner who is frustrated with the lack of visibility and control of future energy costs, then now is the time for you to take advantage of federal and state financial incentives by installing a solar energy system and harness the power of the sun.
Light industry properties are PRIME candidates for solar PV systems due to the ratio of their roof space to the electric usage of the building. Solect can assist in evaluating if there is a good fit which allows the owner to take advantage of today’s financial incentives and new programs. See Ownership ROI for additional information.
How clean energy helps
In addition to controlling and lowering electricity payments solar power can also help by providing:
- Green Marketing - Tenants as well as prospective employees are increasingly weighing a property owner's or company's environmental policy and actual commitment to greenhouse gas reductions in their decision criteria. Green properties powered by renewable energy have shown increased occupancy rates.
- Additional Revenue Stream - It's been tough in this market to find, nurture, and grow additional revenue streams. A company's rooftop could turn out to be an overlooked asset with the potential to save money by hosting a solar energy system.
- Improve Property Values - Property values are down. However, in addition to saving energy costs, Green properties powered by renewable energy have shown an enhanced property valuation. Solar energy systems operate for 20-25 years, and provide long-term benefits to the owners.
