Many corporations have centrally located offices in a separate location from where they carry on business with the public and these are prime locations to take advantage of a solar installation to generate much of the power needed for day to day operations. Of course offices renting space in a larger building also have options open for solar power, but there are important considerations to be dealt with in this instance. In either case, New Energy Futures at Solar Install can help your office find a solution to the high cost of purchasing electricity from suppliers by finding a solar installation that meets your needs.
Solar Electricity for Offices
If your offices are located in a building owned by your company, there is no problem whatsoever finding a suitable way to install solar panels. In most cases, you can choose between a rooftop installation or a standalone ground installation, depending on the size of your roof and the location that captures the most direct sunlight. A New Energy Futures (NEF) installer will provide a free onsite assessment with no obligations so that a determination can be made as to the size and type of solar installation that will best meet your needs.
It is also possible to take advantage of a government grant that will help to offset the initial cost of the installation and this is something our Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accredited installers are well equipped to advise you on. There are a number of different possibilities open to you, including the Feed in Tariff, but all equipment must be MCS certified and it can only be installed by MCS accredited installers.
You can actually get paid to generate power, even if you use it at your office! As well, you will receive income from any excess power you send back into the grid (perfect for weekend days!) and your electricity supplier will most often give you a discount for that energy you need to purchase. This is all part of the FIT scheme so don’t forget to have your NEF installer explain the particulars to you.
For those of you who have offices in a building owned by someone else, you would need to discuss with your landlord whether or not a rooftop installation would be acceptable. Perhaps a standalone installation would better meet your needs, especially in the event that there is not ample roof space available. These are all issues which you can discuss with a New Energy Futures installer when you have your initial consultation. Any concerns you may have can be addressed at that time.
There is no secret in the fact that the cost of buying electricity will just keep going up in the future and is likely to spike at any given moment due to geopolitical factors or the loss of fossil fuels as with the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Solar electricity is not reliant on fossil fuels and the sun provides and endless supply of power which can be harnessed and used with the proper solar installation.
