The transition to green energy in the power sector is on its way. With this, industries are moving towards eco-friendly solutions for their energy consumption. 

Solar Power Systems are the next best alternative to pollution-causing fuels. And the government incentive is leading to its growth at a much faster rate.

The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, India aims at installing 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030. Solar Energy contributes a large chunk that amounts to 280 GW. To achieve the target, India needs to install 25 GW of solar energy every year till 2030. India wants to be rich in energy efficiency in the coming years.

Commercial buildings like hotels, schools, colleges, MNCs are thus shifting towards installing solar panels to generate sufficient energy. Now is the best time when you start re-thinking about your energy costs.

Let’s discuss some benefits of affordable Solar Panels for Commercial Buildings. 

1.) Investment Not Expenditure

Imagine the scenario when the sun does not shine at all? Well, do not worry. It has been shining for almost 4.6 billion years and will continue to do so for 5 billion more years. But as we know fuels like petrol, diesel will soon exhaust. India currently imports 82.8% of crude oil and 45.3% of natural gas per year. 

So if you’re investing in Solar Panels today, reports show, they will start to pay back in 5 to 6 years. So, you have to make a one-time payment and enjoy free electricity for years to come.

2.) Predictability of Bills

If you know the amount of electricity bill you will hit each month, wouldn’t it be easier to plan your monthly savings? Savings are a crucial part of our investment for the future. 

Businesses are benefitting from the solar panel installations on their commercial buildings. They know the electricity basic solar panels generate on their rooftop. And the electric power they use every month. It helps them plan their finances better.

3.) Saves Money

Researches at LNMIIT Jaipur found that solar panels systems at the academic buildings helped them reduce electricity bills. 

Every organization wants to save future energy bills. Solar panels would lead to almost negligible electricity bills for the coming 20 to 30 years.

You need not worry about the increasing cost of electricity now and then. What a relief!

Can you imagine the money you will save through this investment? So what are you planning to do with it instead?

4.) Long-Lasting

Cleaning the solar panels involves no big technical hassles. All you need is that your panels remain clean, which will help in generating more electricity. It makes them long-lasting as the wear and tear are less. 

The photovoltaic cells use to make solar panels are not susceptible to easy breaking. It removes the hassles of servicing your generators every year and changing their oil and filters.

5.) Net Metering

It is an arrangement where the owner of the solar panels pays only for the net units. If the units exported are more than they import from the grid, DISCOM will pay the owner at a predetermined rate. 

It is another significant benefit where you can sell the excess energy produced on your commercial building rooftop.

6.) Green Energy Brand

If you buy a pencil and there are two brands A & B, that sell them. Brand A sells very high-quality pencils that last longer. And brand B also sells high-quality pencils. But B also plants 1000 trees for every 10,000 purchases. Which brand would you prefer?

If you ask me—as a consumer—I will give preference to Brand B over A. Why? They are sensitive towards the environment. 

As the coming generations become woke to Climate Change, your business should take a step ahead by going green. Solar Panels can make you an ambassador of renewable energy and sustainability.

There is no apt time than now to shift from traditional energy to sustainable energy solutions. In our next blog, we will discuss in detail the Commercial Solar Panels cost in India.
