Commercial
Using Solar Energy as an alternative power solution is a great way for your company or commercial building to save money on energy costs and show that you are doing your part to be environmentally responsible. Aside from doing what is best for our planet, many consumers now find this quality quite valuable in their decisions of where to do business. Businesses with high hot water demands and access to a good southern exposure can be great candidates for solar hot water. Restaurants, bakeries, beauty salons, health clubs, and hotels are all potentially good sites. A commercial installation generally makes use of the same system design and components as our residential systems, including a conventional back-up for hot water heating during high load and low sun periods. APS solar hot water professionals can help you determine the applicability of solar for your site.

In fact, according to the IEA, from 1970 to 2000 annual retail electric rates increases averaged 5.5%.If your business or commercial building uses a good deal of electricity or is a significant portion of your overhead, then these increases in electricity costs can affect your bottom line.

Reduce Your Building's Operating Costs
Installing an APS solar energy system is equivalent to prepaying for electricity at a fraction of the cost of current (and indeed future) rates. All of the state and government incentives are basically paying a significant portion of this prepaid electricity. So why not take advantage of this opportunity to have your electricity costs subsidized, especially if energy costs are a large portion of your overhead.Make a Balance Sheet Transfer
