Solar For Manufacturers

Solar Panels for Factories and Warehouses

Warehouse and Factories usually consume large amounts of electricity, because they are large facilities that requires more energy for lighting, production equipment and temperature control.  With the high energy these facilities consume electricity usage is a significant contributor to higher operating expenses.

Many companies are harnessing the power of renewable energy by adding solar systems to their warehouses and factories to bring down energy costs.  When the factory installs a solar system it allows these facilities to produce their own power on-site for free.

Here are some of the benefits of solar for manufacturers:

Reduced Energy Costs

Solar power allows manufacturing facilities to run a large portion of their energy consumption off solar.  When this is done your company secures energy independence by producing its own electricity and minimizing any consumption from the local electric grid.  The return on investment (ROI) of solar for manufacturing projects is typically around four years.  Alternatively BCSC LLC can procure $0 capex financing for these projects, so that savings are immediate!

Peak Shaving and Protection against Increased Energy Costs

Installing a solar energy system is a fixed cost solution.  When you add solar panels to the roof of your factory or warehouse, you can protect your business from increasing electric utility costs. When electricity prices go up, your business will not be affected by the price increases.

Environmental Benefits

Electricity generated by the grid is generated by burning fossil fuels.  By doing this it releases harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide into the air, causing and leading to health concerns and climate warming. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that electricity production creates the second largest share of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.

Installing solar systems at you factories and warehouse roofs demonstrates corporate social responsibility and lowers your carbon footprint, allowing the company to meet ESG goals.

Large manufacturing facilities are ideal for installing solar, with ROI in as little as 4 years!

Reliability

Did you know that a solar energy system provide decades of dependable renewable power?  The average life span of your solar system is 25 to 30 years.  In addition to decades of savings, solar systems do not have any moving parts, requiring minimal maintenance.

Factories and Warehouses are Ideal for Solar Panels

Most factory and warehouse roofs are perfect landscape for a solar system.  Usually these roof tops are flat and large with ample room for solar panel installation.  These facilities are usually high of the ground that they get unobstructed sun exposure.  With a large area, you new solar system can offset more energy costs and provide a rapid return investment.

Thanks to the new Inflation Reduction Act and increased (30%) federal investment tax credit (ITC), there has never been a better time to install solar for your manufacturing facilities!
