Solar Energy.
Solar power is a renewable energy source that involves the generation of electricity from the energy of sunlight. In the business context, this means that companies can install solar panels on their buildings or properties to produce electricity for their own use and potentially even sell excess power back to the grid. This can reduce a company's dependence on traditional fossil fuel-based electricity and potentially lower their energy costs.
What is Solar PV?
Solar power is a form of renewable energy derived from the sun’s radiation. It involves capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity or thermal energy. Solar power can be harnessed using various technologies, including photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar thermal systems.
Photovoltaic Systems.
These systems use solar panels comprised of semiconductor materials (typically silicon) to directly convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits the solar panels, photons from the sunlight knock electrons free from atoms in the semiconductor material, generating an electric current.
Solar Thermal Systems.
Solar thermal systems utilise sunlight to heat a fluid (such as water or oil) to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. Alternatively, the heat generated can be used directly for space heating, water heating, or industrial processes.
The benefits speak for themselves.
Solar Power comes with a huge array of benefits, including 100% renewable energy, long-term cost reduction and energy independence.
Cost
savings.
Solar power can reduce a business's energy expenses by generating electricity on-site, reducing the amount of electricity they need to purchase from the grid.
Increased energy security.
By generating their own electricity, businesses can become less reliant on the grid and reduce their vulnerability to power outages or other energy-related disruptions.
Improved
sustainability.
Solar power generation produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Increased energy independence.
By generating their own electricity on-site, businesses can enhance their energy independence and resilience.
Long term energy planning.
Investing in solar energy allows businesses to take control of their energy future and hedge against rising energy costs.
Return on investment.
Over time, solar installations can provide a strong return on investment, especially as the cost of solar technology continues to decrease.
