As summer temperatures soar, so do energy bills. The culprit? Air conditioners working overtime to keep your home or business cool during peak heat. But there’s good news: solar energy can be your secret weapon in slashing cooling costs, all while helping the environment, too!
The Summer Surge in Energy Demand
It’s no secret that electricity consumption spikes in the summer months. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, commercial indoor cooling accounts for 9% of annual electricity use, with most of that demand occurring in June, July, and August. As utilities scramble to supply this surge, many energy companies charge higher rates during peak periods.
That’s where solar energy comes in.
Solar Energy and Peak Demand: A Perfect Match
Solar panels generate the most electricity during the day—right when energy usage from air conditioning is at its peak. This alignment allows solar users to power their cooling systems with clean, renewable energy precisely when they need it most. The result? Less reliance on the grid and significantly lower utility bills.
Additionally, the installation of a solar panel on a commercial facility’s roof often allows businesses to benefit from tax incentives. A solar installation can also increase your property value due to these reduced energy costs and the competitive edge you would hold with eco-conscious buyers and tenants.
So —to recap — a solar installation from SolarConnect can help your facility:
• Lower annual energy expenses
• Achieve tax benefits
• Increase property value
All while reducing your carbon footprint!
