Embracing Options In Commercial Green Energy

Owners of office, commercial, industrial, and apartment buildings are always interested in new ways to decrease operating or overhead bills

. While millions are looking at automated lighting and other indoor building power saving devices, like putting in compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) rather than incandescent lighting, and more cost-effective cooling or heating systems, there are others who are already moving to the latest green energy water heaters like the solar heating system.

What is this? It is actually a commercial green energy equipment that can provide a large portion of a commercial office or residential building's hot water requirements by using the sun"s radiant heat energy. While there are passive and active systems, some that use tubes and some that use flat panels, solar heating systems are mostly made of a panel or coil of metal or plastic, where water goes through and is heated via radiant or solar radiation energy.

Looks complicated, right? As a matter of fact is not difficult to understand the technology. Green technology is so cost-saving that many groups and national governments are proffering landlords and commercial and office property owners numerous financial incentives for investing in them. This emphasizes the viability of installing a solar water heating system right now for a large-scale property. These bonuses are designed to minimize installation and purchase cash outlays, and enable the solar hot water heating system pay for itself in less than five years.

The essential thing to know, however, is that customization and installation of commercial green energy calls for the services of experts, and even though you might have read that some people have constructed their own solar heating systems; these are usually small-scale or only built to cater to a single-family household. However, if it comes to the hot water provision for 20-40 residential units, it will require specialized knowledge and high-level of technical experience to plan the architecture of the solar heating system.

It is also critical to be informed that although the technologies behind any commercial green energy have come a long way in just a short period of time, it still does not mean that they have totally superseded old energy sources: electricity, propane, and natural gas for heating water all day and all year round. However, when your hot water needs are largely provided by green energy, then your electricity expenses will greatly be decreased.

Let"s just discuss what this means in economic terms. For example, if you know that your bill for having hot water amount to $60. per unit each month; then you are already spending that amount of cash each month. Now, if you decided to have a solar heating system installed on the roof space of your office or apartment building, you would be able to finance the solar water heating equipment, get a rebate from your utility company, and take advantage some of the state, local, and federal tax rebates available. This includes instantly usable tax incentives, and also the option to apply accelerated depreciation on the equipment. In short, even though you are spending almost the same amount or $60. per unit each month; payment is mostly going to the equipment, and not electricity bills. And after two to five years you would have finished paying the entire cost of the solar water heating system. And you would then benefit from a large reduction on your monthly utility expenses, and nearly free use of your water heating system for several more years to come.
