Installation of Commercial Solar Panels in Chicago, IL

Commercial solar panels can help you save thousands of dollars every year in energy expenses. Utility rates are on the rise, and the strain traditional energy puts on the electrical grid and environment is significant. But by utilizing renewable energy solutions from Kapital Electric, you can cut your costs substantially. And these benefits will last for years to come. It typically takes between three and six years to realize a return on your investment. After that, every dollar saved is a dollar toward your bottom line. Additionally, you can make a good impression on eco-friendly customers who recognize your commitment to protecting the environment by using solar energy.

Net metering is an agreement you make with your utility company that compensates you for any excess energy you provide. In many instances, your solar panels may supply more than enough energy to power your business. When that happens, you can direct the excess energy to the city’s grid to offset some or all of your costs or for use at a later time.

There are few limitations regarding what types of buildings and businesses can use solar power. Kapital Electric has experience installing solar panels on agricultural, commercial, industrial, retail, and warehouse facilities. We will simply need to devise a plan that utilizes your available roof space to power the building. Our team may also be able to tailor solutions using ground-mounted technology or carport systems.

Your investment will vary based on your facility’s size, roof orientation, and location – among other factors – but we will provide a detailed description of your plan and expenses before beginning a project. Some of your costs will be out of pocket, but several state and federal incentive programs will offset the price of solar panel installation. Furthermore, we can finance up to $2 million on commercial solar and energy-saving projects, so ask one of our associates for details.

During a free consultation, our energy experts will determine what size solar power system your facility will need. We will account for your current energy requirements and allow room for growth and expansion in the coming years. The perfect solar power system is not always the biggest. We will design one that most closely aligns with your needs and budget.

If a storm or rolling blackout causes sweeps through the area, your business’ solar power system will automatically turn off until power is restored. However, you can invest in a battery backup system to ensure you are never without electricity. If you install batteries at the same time as your solar panels, they may also be eligible for tax credits. Using batteries will also reduce your need to purchase additional electricity from the local utility company.
