Hybrid Solar Systems
Flexible and Reliable Solar Solutions for Commercial Clients
At Energy Economics, our custom-built hybrid solar systems offer the perfect blend of grid-tied and off-grid capabilities for commercial properties. Designed to provide continuous power during grid outages while optimizing energy use, our systems allow businesses to harness solar power, store excess energy in batteries, and tap into the grid when necessary. This ensures cost savings by utilizing solar energy during peak demand and selling any surplus back to the grid. With Energy Economics, you can increase energy security while enjoying flexible and reliable energy management tailored to your needs.
Benefits of Hybrid Solar Systems
Flexible Energy Management: Hybrid systems provide maximum control by allowing you to use solar power, store excess energy, and draw from the grid when required.
Enhanced Reliability: By combining grid-tied and off-grid features, hybrid systems ensure uninterrupted power, even during outages, by leveraging stored energy.
Optimized Cost Savings: Hybrid systems reduce energy costs by utilizing solar during peak times, storing excess energy for later, and selling surplus energy back to the grid.
Commercial Micro-Grid Systems
Customized Micro-Grid Solutions for Business Independence
At Energy Economics, we offer custom-designed micro-grid systems that empower commercial properties with complete energy independence. By integrating solar panels, battery storage, and backup generators, our micro-grid systems allow your business to operate autonomously, even during grid outages. These systems are ideal for remote locations or commercial sites needing enhanced resilience and energy reliability. Our micro-grid controllers ensure efficient energy management, distributing power seamlessly to meet your business’s needs while optimizing cost savings and reducing reliance on the traditional grid.
Benefits of Micro-Grid Systems
Energy Resilience and Security: Micro-grids provide dependable power for your business, operating independently from the main grid to ensure continuity during outages.
Localized Energy Control: Our micro-grids offer greater control over energy distribution, allowing your business to optimize efficiency and reduce dependence on external sources.
Scalable and Sustainable: Tailored to meet your specific energy needs, micro-grids can power multiple properties or large sites while supporting sustainable practices and minimizing carbon footprints.
Grid-Tied Solar Systems
Cost-Effective Solar Solutions for Commercial Properties
Our custom grid-tied solar systems connect directly to your commercial property’s electrical panel, allowing your business to generate its own energy and reduce reliance on the utility grid. These systems produce electricity used first by your building, with any excess energy fed back into the grid for credits, thanks to net metering. Without the need for battery storage, grid-tied systems lower installation and equipment costs while maximizing efficiency and savings for your business.
Benefits of Grid-Tied Solar Systems
Generate Income: Sell surplus energy back to the grid, turning solar into a profitable investment.
Lower Energy Costs: Reduce grid reliance and slash electricity bills by generating your own renewable energy.
Increase Property Value: Boost property value with an energy-efficient, sustainable solar system that appeals to future buyers.
