The Solar Decision

Jay Slough - Thursday, October 22, 2009

A look into the future and many businesses and residencies are excited about the opportunity to install energy solutions that will make a significant change in their consumption and expenses.  Globally, world organizations, NGOs, and private enterprises are finding solutions to their energy needs.  These organizations are setting the pace for society.

In the past five years, a large number of start-up energy solution companies discovered the need for renewable energy solutions.  This drove the price of solar and wind down as products flew out the doors for global projects.  However, solutions five years ago are much better today.

Solar efficiencies are improving at a steady pace and buyers need to evaluate if a solar solution today will stand up to what they will see two to five years from now.  It is important to note that solar power continues to improve and more importantly, power storage and distribution continues to improve.  This combination will allow companies and residencies to use the power for their own consumption and sell their excess power back to the grid.

Great idea, right?  Well, it all depends on your local power company, your location and weather patterns, as well as the system you choose. Sound complicated? Well it can be, but reputable companies in the renewable energy business understand the questions you have and can build a system to suit your needs.

The system.  Wouldn’t it be great to have a modular system that could be upgraded with higher efficiency panels every three or four years to maximize the energy of the sun?  Sure, but today you need to weigh the investment in a system with tax incentives, rebates, cost, warranties, and panel capabilities.

My advice, don’t go down this path alone.  You need to trust the experts and ensure companies online have a team ready to support your needs and questions from start to finish.  The best way is to ask for references to include manufacturers, partners, and consumers. Taking an hour to talk to five individuals will save you thousands in the long run and more importantly less stress throughout the process.

Don’t be scared of a renewable energy solution, trust the experts and educate yourself regarding the options in the market place.
