For industrial and commercial businesses today, investing in on-site solar power generation represents a smart financial opportunity with major long-term payoffs. While the upfront costs of installing solar panels may seem daunting, the savings over the lifetime of the system can dwarf the initial expense many times over.
At Conexsol, we understand the financial factors that go into assessing the return on investment for a solar project. Our experienced team works closely with each client to analyze their specific energy needs, location’s solar exposure, available incentives and tax credits, and more. Armed with this data, we can model out extremely accurate projections for the system’s energy generation, cost savings, and investment recovery timeline.
Time and again, we find that for most mid-to-large scale operations, solar delivers an exceptional internal rate of return (IRR) – often 15% or higher over the 25-year warrantied lifespan of the equipment [1]. With available tax credits and accelerated depreciation, the investment can be recouped in as little as 4-7 years in many cases [2]. After that initial payback period, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel – two more decades of free, renewable electricity and massive reductions in utility costs year after year.
But our expertise goes beyond just identifying smart solar projects financially. We also take immense pride in our strong track record of executing successful installations and delivering hassle-free performance over time. Once your system is up and running, Conexsol offers comprehensive operations & maintenance (O&M) services to ensure it keeps humming along at maximum output for decades. With our proactive monitoring, preventive care, and fast response times, you can count on reliable energy production and a steady stream of savings.
The financial case gets even stronger when you factor in the marketing and public relations benefits. Customers want to support businesses taking real action on sustainability. Highly visible solar installations demonstrate a true commitment to renewable energy while reducing your carbon footprint.
If you’re a commercial or industrial leader looking for ways to control energy costs, boost cash flow, and increase profitability, it’s time to get serious about solar. The economics have never looked better, and the future is extremely bright for on-site generation. Contact Conexsol today to start exploring your solar potential.
