6 FAQs about Solar panels built-in on-site energy

How can on-site solar PV & energy storage improve sustainability?

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.

Is on-site solar a good choice?

While not a de facto choice – especially for large hyperscale facilities – on-site solar is growing in popularity as companies look to boost their green credentials and save money against high energy costs. Operators large and small have deployed solar panels to the rooftops of their facilities.

What is building-integrated photovoltaics?

Building-integrated photovoltaics is a set of emerging solar energy applications that replace conventional building materials with solar energy generating materials in the structure, like the roof, skylights, balustrades, awnings, facades, or windows. Lake Area High School south-facing façade in New Orleans, LA includes solar technology.

What is on-site renewable generation?

On-site renewable generation refers to the production of clean and sustainable energy from renewable sources at or near the location where it is consumed. It involves setting up renewable energy systems like solar panels, wind turbines, or small-scale hydroelectric generators to generate electricity on-site.

Is on-site solar power a necessity?

In some markets, on-site generation is a necessity if a company wishes to get a facility through the planning process. And, at a time of increasing energy costs, every penny counts. “On-site solar power is one of the lowest-cost sources of clean energy but can have some limitations,” says Iron Mountain's Pennington.

What are the benefits of an on-site solar PV system?

For the scenario represented in the graph, an on-site solar PV system allows the facility to reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid during the middle of the day. Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities.
