Since the beginning, Renogy’s mission has been to normalize
the use of solar energy in everyday life. From solar farms to personal use, no
project is too big or small for this company. While we’ve always been providing
solar panels for business use, there has been a recent resurgence in interest.
For years, businesses have been utilizing solar panels to reduce their costs,
carbon footprint, and meet their power needs. Whether you’re looking for an
on-grid or off-grid solar panel, Renogy has you covered. Below are some
innovative ways that you can incorporate solar energy into your business:
(1) Charging
Stations
Ten years ago, many people would have questioned the future
popularity of electric vehicles. In fact, the popular “Cash for Clunkers”
program, officially known as the “Car Allowance Rebate System” helped spike
consumer interest in fuel efficient vehicles back in 2009. Electric vehicles
are slowly but surely becoming a consumer favorite, particularly in cities and other
metro areas where long driving trips are uncommon. While recent surveys
indicate that the #1 reason for hesitation in purchasing an electric vehicles
is lack of charging stations, that has been slowly changing. In many larger
cities, there are charging stations in bog box parking lots and near heavily
frequented roadways. Many electric cars now have a driving range of 150 miles
or more on a single charge. Attract more customers to your shopping mall or
business with a charging station that relies on solar energy. Alternatively, if
you have a smaller business, a small cell phone charging station can also
benefit from adding solar panels.
(2) Remote
Cameras
Keeping your business and home safe is a top priority. There
has been a recent surge in interest for home and business security systems, but
you may be wondering how to power those remote cameras. That’s where solar
panels come in. If your cameras can’t run on battery power, but instead rely on
traditional grid power, solar panels are a great way to them charged. With
solar panels, there’s no need to constantly recharge batteries, and less risk
of the camera dying when you need it most. Solar panels are also a great option
for running remote floodlights. Keep your business safer with solar!
(3) Greenhouse
Solar
Solar panels and greenhouses just go together. Would you
agree? We can’t help but love the idea of growing plants “indoors” with a
little extra help from the sun. Use a completely renewable energy source-
sunlight, to power the grow lights inside your greenhouse. While it may be
impractical to use solar panels for heating needs (you would need many, many
panels), it is affordable and easy to use them for lighting and fans.
(4) Business
Signage Lighting
If you own highway advertising signs, especially in rural
or remote areas, you’d know that it gets particularly dark at night. The
exceptional darkness makes it difficult for drivers and passengers to read the roadside
advertisements. This predicament could be easily avoided by using solar panels
to power the sign lighting. Even better, using solar panels would allow you to
avoid using grid power, meaning that there are no monthly power expenses for
running the lighting. Undoubtedly, nighttime lighting would be an attractive
perk for prospective advertisers. Enhance your signs and help clients get more
ad views with solar panels!
