Commercial and Industrial Photovoltaic Projects

A self-generated solar project is suitable for those who are looking for an energy-saving investment for the benefit of their business. Typically, these are built for offices, factories, warehouses, supermarkets, or shops.

Unlike net metering, the electricity produced is solely to cover the needs of that particular property. Any surplus energy is either sent back to the grid (with no financial reward or compensation) or can be stored in batteries to be used for the future, however this incurs additional costs, and thus is not always practical for small scale projects.

For this reason, high-level analysis of projected consumption is vital to ensure optimal running of the solar energy system resulting in little to no waste, meaning the extra costs of energy storage can be avoided. Calculations must be accurate and in line with the consumer’s demand, to ensure financial viability and worthwhile investment for the business or property owner.
