Understanding Commercial Solar
hi my name is Brandon Davis I do commercial business development here at venture solar and I've been in the solar industry for about six years now commercial solar is any system that's connected to a commercial meter with the utility so the system sites could be as small as a residential system maybe 20 or 30 panels to as large as many megawatts on a warehouse or out in a field with thousands of panels so commercial solar can help a lot of people save money if you're a business owner and you're looking to cut your operating expenses
Benefits for Businesses and Building Owners
for some businesses such as heavy manufacturing or coal storage it can be a significant operating expense but even for folks that just have AC loads and maybe lights and computers solar can also provide a benefit all the way down to small scale installations the size of residential install 20-30 panels we can find a way to help you additionally building owners even if you don't have an electric cost you're trying to offset because maybe your tenants pay their own electric bills or things like that you can lease the roof space to a community solar developer and we will create a project where we actually pay you a annual or upfront payment for the use of your roof for a specific period of time and you're able to take your building and get a little bit extra from the bottom so solar systems cost is really dependent upon the size of the system that system size is dependent upon either the roof area or the amount of electric usage you have in your business so we're gonna look at both of those aspects and the site and the best way for you to go solar looking at those aspects will decide what the cost is but our goal is to maximize any incentives of rebates or tax benefits for you so that you can get the most cost-effective solar installation get off the expensive utility power
The Lucrative New York Commercial Solar Rebate
the commercial solar rebate in New York is one of the most lucrative incentives in the United States currently most rebates in other areas have already come and gone because people aren't installing solar very very quickly but in New York City the adoption has been a little bit slower so there's still a really healthy rebate and that can cover as much as thirty to forty percent of the cost of the system
The Venture Solar Process and Getting Started
Our Client-Centric Approach
venture solos goal is to help our clients by going into deep detail of how our customers use the electricity and how a solar installation might benefit them we take a look at the energy bills is where we start to understand exactly when and how you're using electricity and what the costs are and try to help you understand what those might look like in the future once we gather that energy information we use that to inform our design by using satellite imagery and software we're a listeni system on your building without ever actually stepping foot so when we show up for our first meeting we actually have a full proposal for you that we can discuss and kind of go over the options that you have for going solar at that point there's usually some redesign and rework based on your feedback we really like this to be a process where you have a lot of input and if you'd like and once we come up with that final design we're able to move into contracts and permitting and we can have a system really up and ready to go in about two to three months from an initial meeting if we're able to get to the final design quickly
