Why Going Solar in New Jersey Makes Sense

Many companies are making the switch to solar energy.  As well, “some” large companies have sustainability committees or an executive devoted to exploring renewable energy. Most of us know that solar will be great for the bottom line, not to mention the environment. Read on to get a stronger grip on what to know. You should read this before taking the plunge into solar energy.

“Efforts to capture the power of the sun at a reasonable cost continue to evolve, positioning solar energy as one of the hottest topics around the world and creating the need for straightforward information and perspectives that improve upon the renewable energy exchange of ideas,” says Michael Gorton, CEO and president of Principal Solar, Inc. “By defining the issues, collecting and distributing information, the Definitive Solar Library will serve as a valuable educational outpost for leaders of government, business and academia. It will also be accessible to consumers who want to join the dialogue.” In conjunction with launch of the Library, Principal Solar today released two white papers:

Furthermore, The Solar Energies Industry Association (SEIA) reports that in the last decade, solar has experienced an average annual growth rate of 68%.

This is because of the dropping cost of solar panels and installation.

Let’s not also not forget the government’s passage of the Solar Investment Tax Credit. Residential and commercial solar installations are expected to double from 1 million in 2016 to 2 million in 2018.

Also, non-residential solar installation is on the rise. Then don’t forget community solar taking a leading role.  Fortune 500 companies, including Apple, Walmart and Amazon have been in the news embracing clean technology for their buildings.

Therefore, New Jersey can boast that it’s 5th in the nation on solar. That’s when it comes to solar installation.

In addition, here’s 7 things important to know before making calls to a solar company:

First! There is no disruption to your business during or after the transition to renewable energy.aka solar.  You are connected to the grid at all times.

Second! Installing solar panels increases the value of your business and/or building.

Third! New Jersey’s payback period for solar is within 3-4 years of installation.  You’ll be able to cover almost 100% of the solar system cost by Federal and State incentive programs. This includes Federal Investment Tax Credits (ITC), an accelerated deprecation program, and the New Jersey incentive of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SERC).

Fourth! The price of a solar energy system can vary dramatically (100% difference) based on the area, equipment used, quality of the installation company. Etc. It’s best to get quotes from multiple vendors before moving forward

Fifth, You don’t need to go out of pocket.  Solar companies offer financing solutions – such as a lease – that allow your solar savings and incentives to fund the project.

Sixth! Solar equipment comes with a 25-year warranty and maintenance contracts so that you never have to worry about a broken panel.

Seventh! You are tapping into an unlimited, clean energy source. This is good for our planet and for future generations.

Finally, With the right partner guiding you through what can be a complicated process, with multiple partners plying their services and wares, solar can be an incredibly lucrative option, not only for your business, but for our environment.

Joe Veilleux doesn’t view himself as an environmentalist, but he understands how his actions might paint him with that brush. “I’m not an environmentalist,” said Veilleux, general manager of the U.S. operations of natural health ingredient manufacturer Euromed. “I’m a pragmatist. There’s a difference. A lot of environmentalists have characterized their cause as one that pits them directly against corporate America. I’m part of corporate America, but I also recognize the debt I owe to the environment and want to do my fair share to protect it. In the long run, it’s just good for business and there are plenty of examples throughout history of how our environment is one of our most valuable natural resources.” Veilleux’s company is partner with the Everglades Foundation in a campaign dubbed Glade-iator (www.glade-iator.org), which is a model of the public-private partnership Veilleux believes is good for business.
