Solar for Manufacturing Operations: Benefits
Solar is now the cheapest form of energy in the world. No matter what you currently use, you miss out on savings when it’s not solar power. Manufacturing facilities are at an advantage as well. Why? Because they have more space available for a solar array installation. The larger the solar power system, the cost of the system decreases.
Large systems that deliver solar for manufacturing operations are more affordable than most think. This leads to quick payback periods and a higher return on investment. The power offset produced by a solar system delivers direct savings on operation costs by offsetting utility power consumption.
