Types of Commercial Solar Power Systems

There are many solar systems available on the market today, so how do you know which one is right for you and your business? Innovate Energy are experts in all different types of commercial solar systems. Choosing the right one for you will depend on your budget, size of your property and your energy consumption. Some of the most popular solar systems are as follows:

Grid-Tied Systems: Grid-Tied system is one of the most common type of commercial solar power system. This system is directly attached to the electrical grid, which allows your business to use both solar and electric power.

Off-Grid Systems: An Off-Grid system as the name suggests is not connected to the electrical grid, replying solely on the power of the sun. These types of systems are ideal for businesses in rural or remote areas. However, Off-Grid Systems can be a bit more expensive as they require a solar battery to store energy while the sun isn't shining.

Hybrid System: A hybrid system is a combination of grid-tied and off-grid systems. These systems rely on both solar and electricity but can use a solar battery as backup if there is a power outage.

Tax Incentives and Rebates: Many governments offer tax incentives, rebates, and grants to businesses that invest in solar energy. These financial benefits can substantially reduce the upfront costs of the installation.

Future Proof Your Business: Energy costs around the world are increasing at an alarming rate. Switching to renewable commercial solar energy is one of the best ways to protect your business from price hikes in the future.

Compliance with Regulations: With environmental regulations becoming stricter, having a solar energy system can help businesses comply with current and future regulations regarding energy use and associated emissions.

Commercial Solar Panel Maintenance

A quality solar installation is designed and built to be hardy, and typically solar panels do not require regular maintenance. However it is important to remember that it is still an electrical system that sits exposed to the elements all year round. With that in mind scheduling a maintenance check can be a proactive step in identifying any potential problems before they pose an electrical hazard. When our solar technicians conduct maintenance on your business solar panels we will also do a thorough clean and overall check to ensure your system is running optimally.

This advanced technology will assist you in optimising energy usage and maximising the energy saving for your business.

Before investing in a solar battery it's important to evaluate the specific energy needs of your business. Our experts at Innovate Energy can help you determine the right battery size ensuring you have enough capacity to meet your business needs without overspending on an excessively large battery. The purpose of a solar battery is to store surplus energy generated by your solar panels during the day. This stored power can then be used during cloudy days or evenings, giving your business power 24/7. By choosing Innovate Energy, as your reputable installer you can be confident that your solar energy storage system will be installed correctly and safely.
