Many commercial entities are looking to conserve energy for a more cost-effective approach. With many solutions, quite a few businesses are turning to cleaner energy alternatives. With many looking for the best possibilities, some compare solar energy with wind energy and today, we at Advanced Electric Solutions Corp would like to elaborate a bit further on these both viable options.
Best Renewable Energy for Large Scale Operations
Where both technologies have their advantages, there are pros and cons to each option. As a result, it depends on the location and application of the system for starters. For larger scale applications, for example, commercial scale power production for the national grid, the wind turbines are the better solution. Relatively quick, the large-scale wind turbines can be installed in a variety of locations, even far out to sea, and are efficient and effective. Modern technology allows for turbines to be virtually silent and they are capable of generate in the region of 2 megawatts of power, enough to power over 2,000 homes.
Powering Small Scale Operations
For the smaller-scale systems, ultimately, implementing both solar systems and wind turbines are optimal. This is because the solar modules can generate electricity during the daytime when the wind is not blowing where the small wind turbine can generate electricity in a breeze even when the sun is not shining. However, the a less-than-ideal turbine installation, such as being installed in a built-up area, close to tall trees as well as too close to the roof of the house. From the turbulence caused by the trees that are too close to the turbine and from up-winds from the roof, the turbine will be adversely affected. The unsuitable location in which it has been installed is the issue, not the wind turbine itself.
How Long Does it Take to Break Even on Solar Panels
Solar panels for business owners often seem like a risky move to owners as it can seem complex and confusing. Some may think of solar panels being an investment on something that is just good for the environment as opposed to being a strategic financial decision. Commercial solar panels are a great fit for small to mediums sized business as many growing chorus of smart business owners have discovered. A solar energy system is a key strategic decision that virtually guarantees a solid financial return for your business where businesses of all sizes are capitalizing on the financial opportunities of installing solar. Generally, businesses equipped with solar panel systems averagely offset their electric use by up to 75.9%, significantly reducing their electric bill every month, and increasing their annual revenue. Most businesses will frequently pay off the solar system within 5-7 years, giving business owners a great deal of savings. In the last 5 years, installation costs have dropped, making the solar system solution economically attractive.
