How Solar Energy Is Transforming Homes and Businesses
Solar energy enables homes and businesses to generate part of their electricity on site. Its strongest value often appears where electricity is consumed during daylight hours.
Where it can help
- Daytime commercial and office loads.
- Homes with suitable roof space and daytime use.
- Farms and water-pumping applications.
- Hot-water and thermal-energy applications.
Combine solar with efficiency
Reducing wasted electricity before sizing a solar system can lower the required capacity and improve the project economics. Review lighting, cooling, pumps, insulation, and operating schedules.
Conclusion
Solar is most effective when part of an overall energy plan that includes load analysis, efficient equipment, and ongoing monitoring.
