There are a few different ways you can think of value. You might consider the resale value of your property. You can also consider how your property serves to reduce the overhead costs your business incurs.   We’re going to look at how solar power can help on both of these fronts. More specifically, we’re going to analyze how off-grid solar power can boost your property’s value. It’s worth mentioning that grid-tied power can increase a property’s value too. We’re looking at off-grid power today for two reasons:

  In the last forty years, there has been a dynamic increase in the use of solar energy in the United States. As recently as 2018, an additional 10.6 GW of solar power was harnessed, bringing the country's total use up to 64.2 GW. Yet this apparently successful addition still only contributes 1.6% of the total electricity used across the States. However, with many new solar power technologies on the horizon, the increase could soon be much greater.

  Solar lighting systems provide security and illumination in needed areas when grid power is unattainable or costly to bring to a site. It is also great in applications where a company is looking for a grid alternative to showcase their green initiative, or for companies looking to get LEED points for a new project installation.   

  Commercial property owners are constantly strategizing for ways to improve their margins both in the short-term, by getting quality tenets inked for leases, and in the long-term, by improving property value so they can get higher quality tenets and charge more per month.  

  Do your bit for the environment and reduce your carbon footprint by following these six tips. You’ve likely heard the phrase ‘carbon footprint’ before, it’s a buzz word many businesses have heard of but aren’t exactly sure what it is. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, business, or community.

  When we think about the technology at the forefront of sustainability and renewable energy efforts, we tend to think big. We imagine intelligent watering systems, solar lighting systems, electric vehicles, and so on. These are all critically important comments of modern green efforts. But when we think only of finished products and systems, we can ignore some of the actual technology that makes it all possible — such as advanced printed circuit boards.

  Using solar electricity is a great way to power a home, a business or any other building that requires electricity. Solar energy is able to provide the same levels of energy that are provided by traditional electricity without the cost and with a greater promotion of environmental protection. Continue reading below to learn the benefits solar energy can have on your organization.

  Business owners in the United States spend around $60 billion on energy annually. Finding ways to reduce monthly operating costs should be one of your main goals. While this may sound like a relatively easy process, it is anything but. If your knowledge of energy-efficiency is limited, you will have a hard time finding ways to reduce monthly electricity bills. Allowing professionals in the energy industry to weigh in on these decisions can help you avoid mistakes. Read below to find out more about how you can start reducing the cost of powering your commercial building each month.

  Every year, it seems like we are getting closer and closer to that space-age futuristic reality that Hollywood projected we would be at by now. Though we didn’t have hoverboards in 2015 like Back to the Future II had predicted, we’re not terribly far behind.

  As much as it’s crucial for businesses to stay competitive with their technology, they also must stay on the cutting edge of sustainable practices in the workplace. There are two ways to make a workplace sustainable: implementing technology in an existing location to make renewable energy or using environmentally friendly materials and building practices to construct a new location.
