Renewable Energy
How your company can profit with the new technology.
In a recent survey conducted by the Association of Energy Engineers, 64% answered yes to this question. Has your company considered the installation of renewable technologies such as wind or solar at one of your facilities?
Whether it’s installing solar panels or wind generators, businesses now recognize how the new alternative energy systems can give them a more proactive role in managing their energy costs. Wind and solar are inexhaustible sources of energy, and not subject to fluctuating market conditions.
Wind or solar? Which is best? Well, it all depends on where a property is located. Auditek works with companies to first conduct a feasibility study to determine what is appropriate. It might also be that a combination of wind and solar give you the best of both worlds. We can help determine what is appropriate for your specific situation.
3 Little-Known Facts About Wind Generators
-
When people usually think of wind turbines they think of the big propellers. Technology has greater improved upon that design, and there are new ones that look like a revolving double-helix. These are the vertical-axis turbines. These are also far quieter.
- The technology for wind generators has dramatically improved over the years. Some are producing as much as twice the electricity as prior models.
- Wind generators cost about a third less than solar panels.
And what about solar power?
-
Photovoltaic production (solar energy) is the world’s fastest growing energy. It has increased by almost 50% per year.
- 35 states in the US allow you to sell your solar power back to the utility company.
- The US is the third largest growing market for solar.
