Theoretically, most people can easily comprehend how solar PV cells generate energy. When sunlight shines on the solar panel, PV cells absorb it to create an electric charge.
However, when it comes to getting a solar system, especially on a commercial scale, many doubts and questions may arise. For example: Are solar panels economically beneficial? How do I start? Is it useful for my company? How long will it last? And a lot more. Worry not; in this blog, you can learn everything there is to know about on setting up a solar energy system for commercial and industrial buildings.
Let’s begin with the most important points.
Why does my company need to adopt solar?
The greatest advantage of going solar for commercial & industrial buildings is a significant decrease in electricity costs. Commercial & Industrial buildings such as offices, shopping malls, factories, manufacturing plants, and other structures have high energy needs. By converting to a commercial rooftop solar system, you can harness the sun’s abundant energy to run most of your operations on discounted solar energy.
Moreover, you can take advantage of the financial incentives and subsidies that the Government provide, such as the State Bank of Pakistan solar financing program for companies going solar.
Going Solar will do wonders for your company’s reputation. You are viewed as a green, environmentally conscious company, which enhances the perception that consumers, shareholders, and the general public have of your brand.
What is the installed capacity of the solar plant?
The area on your rooftop, car parking area, and other variables play an essential role in considering the installation capacity of a solar plant. Design Engineers of Shams Power may help you determine your solar structure’s energy savings, solar power capacity, and other details. You only need to provide a few informational pieces, such as your state (region), average monthly electricity costs, space available in square feet, and the type of connection (commercial or industrial). The design engineer will analyze the information to provide further information about your building’s rooftop solar power capability.
What is the financial cost of going solar?
Nothing!
Yes, you have read that right. Shams Power offers Power Purchase Agreements on the BOOT (Build- Own – Operate – Transfer) model, a unique solar solution where Shams Power will invest, design, construct and operate the solar power plant at the client’s premises. While the client only has to pay a guaranteed discounted tariff for the solar energy consumed without the burden of any capital investment or operational hassle, ensuring savings from Day 1.

What are the other considerations while going solar?
Placement of the solar powers
Despite having a huge space, you can only use a portion of it. Numerous elements must be considered, including ideal solar exposure, potential physical obstacles causing a shadow, and other geographical issues.
How to Select the Best Solar Partner?
It would be best to consider aspects other than installation costs, such as developers’ credentials, experience, and expertise in the industry. Investigate and make a shortlist of the top 5 solar power generating companies and obtain quotes from them. In addition to the rates, compare and analyze the types of services, post-installation offerings, operations, and maintenance they are willing to provide in their agreement. It can save you time, energy, and money because the company handles all procedures.
With the worsening climate and rising energy costs, it’s time to get going with an eco-friendlier and economically feasible option, so utilize this guide and get started with solar for your company.
