Solar technology is a great way for a commercial organization to save money while promoting environmentally friendly habits.

• A solar system can significantly reduce, and may even eliminate, utility costs for commercial entities by generating energy during peak demand.
• For every 1 mega-watt hour that a solar system produces, it provides the owner with a Solar Renewable Energy Credit (S-REC). Electrical utilities need to have a certain percentage of their production from renewable sources. These credits can be sold to them on the open market for an extra financial return.
• The government provides tax credits and incentives for solar systems. Solar harvest can help you maximize your financial return. (May not apply to non-profit organizations)

• The sun is free and renewable. By installing a solar system at your location, you can make use of one of our most plentiful resources for your electrical needs.
• Possibly the most important environmental benefit is that solar technology is pollution free. Solar systems emit no green house gas (CO2) or chemical by-products. It is perfectly clean.
• Solar systems will not inhibit your business. Solar modules are noiseless and very low maintenance.
• By installing a solar system at your business, you can respect the environment for future generations so that it can be used the way that it was intended.

• Your solar system can help you reduce your transmission and distribution losses due to large power plants miles away. Due to the distance that the electricity has to travel to reach you, some of it is lost in transmission. Because your solar system is local to your business, very little of the electricity is lost before it can be used, thus making it a very efficient power source.
• Solar systems are expandable due to their modular nature.
• Many solar modules are guaranteed for 20 years and are very reliable.

• Going solar can help you reduce your dependence on depleting fossil fuels and overseas oil and gas.
• With the rise in energy prices, this will reduce your reliance on the utility system rates. For every cent that the utility rates increase, your solar system will become that much more valuable to you.
