4 Reasons Your Small Company Should Go Solar

While many people who run a small business might think they can’t go solar because of myths they’ve been told about it being too expensive and not worth it, keep reading to discover exactly how solar is great for your business. Solar is actually not only the cheapest way of getting your energy, but it’s also the cleanest, and you’ll make a huge impact just by switching over.

1. Solar is the Cheaper Choice

Many people see the price of installing solar and assume it’s more expensive. What they don’t see is the huge amount of savings over time and how much cheaper solar actually is. You can reduce the price you’re currently paying for your company’s electricity by up to 75% when you switch to solar. You can also get a Solar Power Purchase Agreement to get even cheaper power costs because you’re a business.

Your business can even make money by going solar. This is because of a system called net metering, in which any excess energy you produce can be sold right back to the grid.

The best thing about solar is that you don’t have to worry about constantly fluctuating prices. Right now you’re at the mercy of your power company, with things like time of day, season, how much energy you use, who your provider is, your location, and the state of the economy all impacting your power bill. With solar, that’s not something you ever have to think about again.

2. Solar Energy is Reliable and Dependable

If your business is in a place like Seattle, you may be worried that your energy won’t be reliable and that you’ll end up losing money in the long run because of it. However, this is nothing but a common misconception, and you shouldn’t be worried about it. The sun’s radiation is what matters, and that reaches us regardless of how cloudy it is.

You’ll also have batteries, which will keep your power on at nighttime when the sun isn’t up at all. And if you live in an area where the grid goes down often, you can choose to go off-grid, which means you’ll generate all your own energy without a power company whatsoever. This could save you a lot of money if you live somewhere where the grid often goes out and will end up saving your company a ton of money.

3. Future Financial Gains

As mentioned above, while the financial gains are not immediate, and the hefty cost of initial installation scares some people off, the financial gains in the future are what’s really important. You can pay off your solar in as few as seven years and then the rest of the solar’s life cycle you’ll be making huge gains, both because you won’t have to worry about fluctuating utility costs anymore, but also because if you decide to utilize net metering, you can make serious profits.

4. Market that Green

Another huge way to make money: going green is in right now. If you market the knowledge that your company has gone green and is making strides to better help our planet, people are more likely to consume whatever product you’re selling.
