Industrial
Solar Installers

Generally speaking, companies within the industrial and manufacturing sector use large amounts of electricity in production. The energy to power machinery, equipment, lighting, and office functions throughout any given day contributes to significant overhead costs. As the price of electricity from the grid continues to rise, a larger portion of the company budget must cover this cost each month.

However, the industrial solar installers at StraightUp Solar can help your company lock in energy rates. Get a free quote for your industrial solar solution today and learn how clean energy can benefit your company!

How Industrial
Solar Power Works

After our industrial solar installers professionally place your panels, the array gathers the sun’s energy to create direct current (DC) electricity. Next, your inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, and sends it to your standard electrical panel. The electricity your manufacturing plant or office uses can be used directly for your consumption, reducing your electrical needs from the utility.

Your solar array works in tandem with the local grid. When your energy consumption exceeds your solar generation, your company receives electricity from your utility. When you have a surplus of renewable energy, the excess is sent to the grid and credited to your account through net metering.  The value of the net metered energy can reduce your electricity bill, further lowering the cost of solar to your company.

1. Solar Array

Your business’ solar panels use the sun’s energy
to produce direct current (DC) electricity

2. Inverter & AC Panel

The inverter converts the DC electricity to alternating
current (AC) electricity and sends it to your standard AC
electrical panel.

3. Utility Meter

Solar electricity used by your business is electricity you do
not purchase from the utility grid.

4. Electric Grid

Your solar system works in coordination with the utility
grid. Any demand that is not met by your solar array
is supplied by the grid. Any excess solar electricity that
is not used at your facility will be sent to the grid.

5. Monitoring

Track your system’s production using an online
monitoring portal which is linked directly from your
inverter.

Industrial
Solar Power Advantages

Whether your company specializes in food processing or chemical production, industrial solar photovoltaic (PV) solutions yield key strategic advantages, such as:

Lowered Costs
and Incentives

Your reduced dependency on the local grid protects you against the ever-rising electricity rates. As a result, your company’s cash flow increases, allowing you to allocate funds toward growth initiatives. Generating solar energy for your industrial facility is low-risk, long-term investment with potential double-digit ROI.

In addition to the money saved from estimated lower monthly utility costs, companies can take advantage of government and/or utility incentives. For example, companies can reap a 30% federal tax credit. A custom quote will show you estimated incentives you may be eligible for and savings. Reach out today to get started.

Energy
Independence

Harvesting the sun’s energy to offset the power in your facility gives you control over your electricity. You can monitor your system’s performance at any time through an online portal directly connected to your inverter.

The data can be analyzed to align your peak production hours with peak solar energy generation. The more energy gathered during the period of your company’s highest electricity consumption, the less likely you’ll need power from the grid.

Attract New
Customers

The consumers of today are environmentally conscious. In fact, many consumers will only purchase products or services from companies that utilize clean energy.

When your industrial facility switches to solar power, you’ll pique the interest of potential customers. Your contribution to the growth of clean energy in the region can then be used to kickstart a marketing campaign aimed at attracting new business opportunities.
