Some of us take climate change seriously. But, this seriousness must manifest in tangible actions to truly make a difference. Moving to renewable forms of energy is one such action that promises to yield tangible results. Commercial complexes and corporate offices consume more energy than a residential household since they operate at a considerably larger scale. It is then all the more imperative that commercial offices move to renewable energy to ensure brisk transition is achieved. When it comes to energy, we know very few sources of energy are as readily available as solar energy, and its easy availability and cost-effectiveness makes it a practical investment.
However, before you venture into the unknown, we intend to present you with enough information. By this stage, you might have decided that your organization needs solar panels (or, if the purist prefers - solar modules), but you might have questions regarding the same. Are you confused about the scale of the panel you should go for? Are you curious about the extent of energy you would be saving? Or, do you have questions about the investment such a move would require? All these are valid questions, and we are here to answer them.
The cost involved for installing solar panels for your business depends on the type of business you are into, the capacity of the solar panels, the size of the solar panels, your location, and existing electrical facilities in your company. Installing solar panels in Edmonton, Calgary, or anywhere in Canada is incredibly viable and cost effective. The reason for this being the decrease in prices of solar panels over the years. Effective installation techniques and innovative technology have all contributed to the fall in solar panel prices. This is applicable not only for commercial usage but for residential purposes as well.
Preliminary assessment
The first step in any solar panel installation process is for us to provide a preliminary assessment. We will send representatives to get an understanding of your business, the equipment involved in the manufacturing process, and your total power requirement. We will also consult with you regarding your future and current energy requirements. To understand the feasibility of adding solar panels we will ask you about your load profile, that is, how much energy you use and when do you use it. Based on the information collected, we will be able to tell you the type of solar panels you require, the size of the same, and the investment required for the same. Other things that we might look for is the level of sun exposure at your site. If you opt for solar rooftops, then your roof needs to be in good shape. If that's not the case, then you might be asked to get your roof done before they start with the installation process. In case, you don't prefer rooftops, then you could consider installing your solar panel on ground or create a solar carport.
If you opt for Affordable Green Sun Solar, then we will also let you know about the incentives you can avail for getting a solar panel system for your business.
Design phase
At this stage, we will get our team of experts to make a blueprint to illustrate how your specific solar panel system should be designed. We will map out how it will contribute to your total power requirement and where will it be stationed. The location of the solar panel system is key to the smooth functioning of your business processes. In this step, we will let you know about any equipment upgrades you might require to complement the solar panel system. This is the step when we will together be constantly making iterations in the solar panel network design.
The permissions required
Depending on your province and the type of business you are into, you might require a few permits. Usually, we will guide you on this. Usually, there are city permits, provincial permits, and utility permits that are required for the project to move forward. This can take time thereby halting your project temporarily. Around here, the approval seeking procedure is far less complex compared to other countries or provinces so it is not a problem for you if you are located in Edmonton. As soon as you get all your permits, the installation commences.
The installation process
In this step, we will send our team to finish all the groundwork. The project manager will step in and deal with all the tasks at hand. This includes dealing with all the applications, paperwork, utilities, tasks, and equipment. Once the installation process is done, then your association with us will be limited to maintenance and repair work.
With this information we hope you will be able to bring about a radical shift in the way your business consumes energy. The use of effective solar panels can help your business save a lot of money in the long run. The only costs involved here will be for the installation process and the ongoing maintenance. Your reliance on a renewable source of energy will not only make you self-sufficient but also enable you to reduce your overall carbon footprint. To add to that, you will also be reducing the water wastage involved in energy generation through conventional sources. This should be enough reason for you to opt for solar panels for business.
