How do I estimate my company's potential savings?
Many factors contribute to your company’s savings potential with solar. The biggest being how much energy your business uses throughout the day and what time that consumption is at its peak. These two factors alone show us the potential for energy offset, as well as the price you are currently paying for utility power purchased. The more panels your building can accommodate, the greater the savings potential. Secondary considerations include panel efficiency, roof orientation, and energy prices in your area.
