Solar Electric Panels: Generating Electricity from the Sun

Emmy Energy uses high quality solar panels and technology in its clean energy projects. Solar panels, which contain solar cells, convert sunlight into electricity that can be used in your buildings. As sunlight strikes the silicon material in the solar cells, it releases electrons. The flow of electrons causes an electrical current. By placing dozens of solar cells in a panel, and multiple panels on your building, you are able to produce significant amounts of electricity.

Tax Incentives to Use Solar PV

The government has launched major clean energy projects nationwide. To encourage building owners to use clean energy, including solar electric panels, they have created a variety of programs specifically designed to incentivize you. For example, the federal government will give you a 30% tax credit for the cost of the installed system. Additionally, they allow you accelerated depreciation of the system, creating a faster pay-back to you. Factor in state, local and even utility programs, and adding clean energy products to your building can become one of the best investments you can make.

Attract Tenants with Solar Energy

In today's market, tenants are very much in tune with green energy. Some choose it because of the environmental impact, while others to market themselves as a "green company." Others are politically motivated, wishing to distance our nation from foreign oil producers, while others focus on the unhealthy aspects of fossil fuels. Whatever their motivation, tenants are considering this and most landlords are not responding. Offer them a green alternative and you will set yourself apart from 98% of the other landlords in your market.

Solar Energy Reduces Electric Costs

Not only do you receive great incentives to install solar energy systems, but you also reduce electric costs. The amount you save is driven by many factors, including southern exposure roofline angles and the amount of panels you install. Our experts will work with you to calculate costs, project savings and help you determine the time it will take you to recoup your costs - and receive free electricity for years to come.
