Commercial Solar Energy Systems: Save Money And Energy

Published by Author at 4:28 am under Solar Energy

In order to run a commercial operation, the largest energy expense and one of the largest costs are those for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning.  With the help of commercial solar energy systems it is possible to lower these costs significantly and improve finances.  For space heating, space cooling or water heating the commercial solar energy systems provide energy savings from day one and naturally use environmentally responsible clean solar energy.

Benefits

All costs can be reduced as soon as you install a commercial solar energy system in your building.  On an average, all costs can be cut down by half, and water costs are reduced by almost 80 %.  Such a system is attractive too due to the benefits from the government.  There are attractive tax credits, property tax exemptions and accelerated depreciation.  Once you invest, within two years you get a return on your investment.

By installing a commercial solar energy system you are reducing your dependence on fossil fuels.  In this way it gives you improved financial planning ability because you have less exposure to rising fossil fuel costs.  You are demonstrating a commitment to supporting a healthy environment and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

How It Works

The commercial solar energy systems store the power of the sun and heat buildings in winter and keep them cool in summer.  Through the system hot water is provided and there is integration with the traditional ventilation systems.  Most of these commercial solar energy systems have fewer moving parts than traditional systems like the solar wind energy systems.  The engineering of these systems is excellent, and hence they have low additional maintenance costs as well.  The parts that you need for the operation of the whole system are the solar modules, the inverter, an electric panel and the utility grid.  You can even opt for net metering, which is an agreement between a utility company and you.

Thermomax

For a good commercial solar energy system, the Thermomax solar energy system can also be considered as it is an efficient solar heating system.  The best thing about Thermomax solar thermal collectors is that it works in all weather conditions, because it does not need direct sunlight to work.  That is because Thermomax has a system of diffuse radiation, as well as direct radiation, which can deliver the sun’s energy even on cold, cloudy and foggy days.

How It Works

This commercial solar energy system works with the help of vacuum tubes, and that is why the outside air temperature has little influence.  Hence you can get hot water in bad weather and heat water in a tank which is already hot.  It is a highly efficient system and it is easy to integrate it into the existing hot water system of the building.  Thermomax is the most practical commercial solar energy system available today.
