Why More Companies are Switching to Commercial Solar Energy

Solar energy is becoming a popular choice for business and commercial property owners. Commercial solar installation is a more cost-effective choice saving you up to 80% on energy bills while helping the environment. According to Solstice, American solar power helps offset your carbon footprint. It helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 70 million metric tons yearly – the equivalent of planting almost 1.2 billion trees!


In addition to reducing or eliminating a business's carbon footprint, switching to solar can also help business continuity. We're seeing a massive global shift by businesses to renewable energy sources giving consumers more choices than ever before when choosing sustainable energy.


Benefits of Switching to Commercial Solar



Sustainability


Today, there is increasing awareness of a business's environmental impact. As a result, many consumers insist on sustainability and favor companies that engage in eco-friendly practices and support environmentally-conscious businesses.


Scalability


A solar system is scalable, meaning businesses can start small and expand on a need basis over time. As such, it becomes easy to adopt and save money.


Cost-effective


Saving on costs is the most significant benefit of switching to solar energy. Installing solar panels isn't as expensive as it might seem — especially when you factor in cost savings over time and government incentives on sustainability.


Consistency


The volatility of electricity makes planning difficult as costs fluctuate depending on fuel prices and other factors. Solar panels generate consistent power regardless of energy uses elsewhere, making it more predictable.


What to Consider When Switching to Solar


Below are factors to consider:


  • Where to install the solar system
  • The size of the system
  • Energy needs of your business per month
  • The cost of installation
  • Maintenance



Going solar saves on energy costs and helps you do your part to help the environment. As many businesses switch, commercial solar power systems are becoming a marketing tool that helps attract environmentally-conscious customers.

At Northwind Solar, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful a referral can be. When past customers share their story, what the process was like, how their system performs, and why they chose solar, it helps others feel confident taking the next step. That's exactly how five Stevens Point firefighters spread the solar spark! Over time, a close-knit group of retired firefighters turned decades of firehouse camaraderie into something bigger: a five-home solar ripple. Through trusted conversations, real-life experience, and shared values, one solar installation helped “spark” the next. Victor Kedrowski, Doug Christianson, Dennis Kitowski, Todd Becken, and Dennis Flanigan each chose to go solar with Northwind, and helped others feel confident doing the same through the kind of recommendation that only comes from people you truly trust.
