Installation of photovoltaic solar panels for industrial buildings: A safe investment

Solar photovoltaic panels for industrial buildings are easily installed on almost all existing industrial roofs and canopies, including flat roofs, pitched roofs and sheds. They are the ideal solution to produce your own electricity with a quick return on investment and immediate results.

The photovoltaic solar panels for industrial buildings are mounted on special rails fixed to the roof with screws, bolts and/or clamps; the space required to install them is a net free area of approximately 600-700 m2, in the case of flat roofs these panels are properly ballasted on the photovoltaic roof itself to avoid perforating the roof of the industrial building.

It should be emphasised that the industrial sector has long been attacked by regulators with the sole aim of reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions into the environment, a situation that puts renewable energy production at an advantage. 

Advantages of installing photovoltaic solar panels for industrial buildings

• Ability to use the roof to produce its own electricity, reducing dependence on the electricity gridThis makes the competitiveness of the business more sustainable with a lower electricity bill.
  The percentage of self-consumption depends mainly on the correspondence between the production curves of the solar system and the energy demand of the industrial building, as the energy produced by the PV system must be consumed instantaneously (unless specific storage batteries are implemented in the system).
• Significant reduction in peak power absorption from the grid if the company's power production is concentrated in the central phases of the day.emissions, corresponding to the hours of maximum production of the photovoltaic plant.
  The electricity produced by the photovoltaic solar panels for industrial buildings that is not consumed instantaneously can be sold to the national grid and upgraded according to the rules of the electricity market.
• Solar PV reduces environmental pollution by avoiding carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for an estimated average value of 0.5 kg per kWh produced.This is equivalent to the benefit of planting 6 large trees.
• Implementing a solar energy system in your business accelerates return on investmentThe system's value depreciates at an accelerated rate of five years relative to grid power.
• Helps stabilise energy consumption costsThe system, once it has paid for itself, is producing free energy, reducing the costs of the remaining energy that the company buys from the utility sector.
• The installation of solar photovoltaic panels for industrial buildings is not only an attractive, low-risk investment with predictable and stable long-term returns.It also increases the value of the real estate on which it is installed and provides a "green" image of environmental responsibility that enhances reputation in terms of communication, thus increasing the positive perception of customers. 

Tips before investing in the installation of solar photovoltaic panels for industrial buildings

As the manager of an industrial plant, you may have doubts when choosing the ideal supplier for the installation of photovoltaic solar panels in your industrial building. Although the benefits of a self-consumption installation may be clear, there are fears and doubts. How much will the initial investment cost? What is the right way to finance such a project and when would the return on investment be achieved?

However, in order to answer these questions, it is necessary:

1. Conduct a thorough research and review of suppliers specialised in the installation of solar photovoltaic panels for industrial buildings, the idea is to compare as many solar supplier options as possible to avoid paying inflated prices offered by large installers in the solar industry.
2. Larger installers generally do not offer the best price, so be sure to compare offers with quotes from local installers so that you do not pay extra for solar.
3. Gathering technical information on the wide range of PV solar panels for industrial buildings available will allow you to compare costs and savings based on the different equipment packages available for your particular case. Nationwide installers not only offer higher prices, but also tend to have fewer solar equipment options, which can have a significant impact on your system's electricity production. 

The only way to find the "sweet spot" for your property is to evaluate quotes with different equipment and financing offers. Start now by requesting a free technical-economic feasibility study for photovoltaic self-consumption at your company.
