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.

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.

"There were a couple of reasons why we chose StraightUp Solar… First of all, we liked the people. They were incredibly helpful, very informative of the process, very patient as we went through our bidding process. Number two, they were local. Third… the price was very competitive in comparison with other vendors."

"To be honest, I was a little skeptical of solar at first. I didn't know if it would be a good fit for our organization as a manufacturer. I had a lot of questions and StraightUp Solar was able to answer those questions well... We developed trust so decided to move forward with StraightUp Solar. We needed a lot of help and StraightUp Solar was there to walk us through the process. It is a complicated project because you're working with utility providers, municipalities, raw material suppliers and StraightUp Solar was able to lay out a plan for us."

"The other really positive thing about StraightUp Solar is you have this big project, and when it's done you might have a sense of 'What do I do next?' They offer help after the project is implemented. They monitor our solar array to make sure it's generating power it should generate, they do regularly planned site visits to make sure everything's functioning. If I have questions I know I can call them. It's not one of those scenarios where they do the project and then they're gone. They're invested in us as a company and they care about our success."

“We were looking at putting in a larger system and from the first encounter with StraightUp Solar they knew all of the regulations and steps our system would have to adhere to. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about the entire solar process, but they were also friendly and easy to work with.”

"I have had the pleasure of working with StraightUp Solar for my commercial solar installation at Mountain Top Motor Co. I am very in-depth when it comes to interviewing companies to do business with. I asked a lot of hard questions and I wanted more information than your typical consumer. David at StraightUp Solar not only answered all my questions but taught me some things along the way. StraightUp Solar knew the equipment and the needs of my building more than any other company. They really put a lot of effort into building a quote and system even before a contract was awarded. Through the installation they were great communicators and everything went smoothly. Very impressed with the entire process."
