Are you considering a greener future for your business? As one of the most positive moves a business owner can make, adding renewable energy to your repertoire is easy regardless of your organisations size. One of the largest options available is the 100kW solar system. In addition to their ability to serve businesses with incredibly high electricity demands, 100kW solar systems provide the opportunity to make money. If you’re exploring your options, here are some ways a large commercial solar system could meet your company’s needs.
Use a grid tie solar system to reduce your overheads
A 100kW solar system that operates on a grid tie basis serves two functions. As the name suggests, the panels connect to the main grid. Your business’s buildings will be the first to use any energy it manufactures. Any excess you produce will return to the grid.
Many businesses choose 100kW solar systems with grid ties for their reliability. If you don’t generate enough electricity using the sun, you can draw anything else you require from the grid. That same function provides you with the assurance that you won’t lose energy if there’s a blackout. If you run a company that depends heavily on electricity for manufacturing processes, grid tie systems prove invaluable.
Invest in a 100kW solar system with hybrid capabilities
Although many businesses operate during daylight hours, some need to continue work at night. For others, most of the work takes place when darkness falls. Solar panels provide energy when the sun is shining, which means you stand the best chance of maximising a 100kW solar system during the day. Fluctuations in daylight hours throughout the year may make this tricky.
If you choose a 100kW solar system with hybrid capabilities, you can work around fluctuations in daylight hours easily. Hybrid systems store energy for you to use at a time that’s convenient for your business. Much like grid ties, these 100kW solar systems also allow you to feed energy back to the grid. That also means you can draw on the grid’s supplies wherever necessary.
Make your off-grid ventures possible in rural areas
As anybody who runs a business in an incredibly remote location will tell you, sourcing energy isn’t as easy as it seems. Providing your business is the right size for relying on a 100kW solar system, using a large number of panels can overcome this.
Off-grid 100kW solar systems work especially well for defence bases, remote hospitals, and off-grid communities. They usually sit in a field that’s adjacent to the business and the solar power company installing them will calculate the tilt to maximise the sun’s yield. As you can with a hybrid system, you can use storage batteries to collect anything you don’t use immediately and save it for a later hour. Unlike hybrid and off-grid systems, you won’t be turning to the main grid for backup if your panels don’t function.
Deciding on the right 100kW solar system for you
If you’re not sure which 100kW solar system to pick, don’t worry. At Arise Solar, we work with business throughout Australia to help them meet their solar energy needs. After assessing your business’s size and its energy usage, we can install a range of panels that’ll make your everyday working practices greener. It’s always worth remembering that a 100kW solar system could provide you with the chance to sell your energy back to the main grid, so they pay for themselves in more ways than one.
