Solar Power

Solar panels are based on a simple technology that converts sunlight directly to electricity. The electricity generated by solar panels first supplies on-site needs, with the grid supplying additional electricity as needed. When the solar array generates more electricity than your facility consumes, the electricity is fed back into the grid.

With solar, you can achieve significant savings on electricity costs over the life of your system. Typical project payback is 5-10 years and after-tax returns for solar can be 15-25 percent.
