With the rise in energy costs, and the increasingly significant repercussions, both on industrial production and on household wallets, the use of alternative solutions is increasing. Among these, the production of energy using solar panels is experiencing a resurgence of interest. In this article, we make with you a small recap of the many advantages of solar panels on your energy bill, even in the short term.

Electricity bill reduction
In most cases, the cost of a warehouse’s electricity bill is around 15% of the total cost. The prices of solar panels installed on the roofs are respectively 17% and 27% cheaper.
Finding alternative energy is the most effective way to control costs for a business like yours, which uses a significant amount of electricity to power its machinery and lighting, both indoors and outdoors.
Protect against energy cost increases
The price of energy in Europe has increased by up to 16% on average.
Solar energy offers a solution, which has a double advantage:
- Its lifespan is 25 to 30 years
- Its cost is fixed, throughout its use.
It will make your energy bills more predictable while reducing their overall cost. The costs associated with maintaining and monitoring your solar systems are minimal.
Increase in the value of your property
The value of your home can increase as a result of installing solar panels on your roof. If you plan to sell your commercial, industrial or residential property in the more or less long term, this will also accelerate the sale of the whole property.
This is due to the growing importance attached to the efficient use of energy. Some, or all, of the energy required by the building can be generated by the solar panels themselves. It also means that the building’s short-term and long-term operating costs are lower.
carbon emission
The importance of preserving the environment, reducing the carbon footprint and decreasing the use of fossil fuels increases with each new generation. Unlike fossil fuels, solar panels produce no air pollution or carbon when used to generate power.
In addition, in addition to sunshine, they do not produce ash or other waste and do not require any other input. A growing number of end users are paying attention to this, as well as to the social responsibility of the company that supplies them.
Bonus: sell the excess
Two different collaboration models can be used in the process of installing a solar power system on a roof:
- the capital expenditure model
- and the model power purchase agreement.
The consumer is responsible for the capital expenditure associated with the purchase of the solar system. In addition, the solar power generation can be used for the daily use of the factory or warehouse. Finally, customers can sell any excess energy to the energy supplier of their choice.
Government aid available
Tax credits are a measure taken by the government to encourage people to adopt solar energy. This category includes people who install solar panels on buildings, whether for personal or professional use.
For example, the Indian government gives the installer a subsidy equal to thirty percent of the total installation cost. In accordance with the guiding principles established by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. [The Economic Times]
Return on investment: Easier tracking with the app
The app allows users to monitor the performance of their rooftop solar panels. In most cases, the app allows PV installers and system owners to access the most up-to-date data. In addition, it allows remote monitoring. People can then check the solar energy harvest using their mobile phones, wherever and whenever they want, at any time of the day.
