Can a solar electric power system generate enough electricity to run my business?
A. The answer to that question depends on how much electricity you use, and the available solar access at your building site. Other factors include the buildings Floor Area Ratio, or the building size compared to the lot size, and whether it is a single-story, or multi-story building. Conversely, how much power your business uses in another important consideration, some business sectors are very energy intensive and use a disproportionate amount of electricity for their manufacturing processes, or require cool temperatures, or controlled spaces to operate (large computer servers, etc.) You energy requirement must also be carefully considered in the process of designing and sizing a solar electric power system to meet your load requirements.
