From their inception, solar systems have pushed the boundaries of the clean energy world. Regarded as the highest form of power in its pure state, solar energy is incredibly versatile, capable of being converted into several different channels for everyday use. Though it initially started as an alternative source of electric power, it’s since evolved to fulfill our heating, cooling, transportation, water heating, cooking, industrial processing, and fuel production needs.

One of the biggest challenges scientists have faced throughout its use is the limited availability of solar energy – you can only harness sunlight effectively during the daytime, weather permitting. However, there have been some innovative workarounds, like batteries, pumped hydro, thermal energy storage, compressed air, and more. But, even with such rapid progress, researchers continue to strive for increasingly more innovative uses and implementations. Current goals center around increasing the overall efficiency of conversion, from both an energy and economic perspective. A group of ambitious semiconductor researchers in France has already made significant strides here, formulating a resources boron nitride separation layer to replace the original sapphire substrate material that composed solar cells.

This switchout could mean a more effective photovoltaic system, potentially working to capture a broader spectrum of light. These monolayers of boron nitride are carefully placed on two-inch sapphire wafers with a glass backing. The unique layering also means longer wavelengths will be filtered out, optimizing the collection of short wavelengths. And what’s more, the substitution in material does not come at the expense of durability – as various field experiments indicate the new panels aren’t any more susceptible to breakage or cracking than conventional models. The revised model can also withstand up to 1300 degrees Celcius in temperature. Scientists remain hopeful that mass production under this method is very much within the realm of possibility.

All in all, these findings suggest considerable advancements in the manufacturing of solar cells in bulk, potentially meaning lower costs for commercial solar use. This fact alone represents a serious incentivization for more companies to implement solar systems, which could mean popularized transition over to solar on the whole. While a lot of the aforementioned goals are still ongoing, they remain attainable and within reach.

It’s no secret that the commercial market is extremely competitive – so anything that gives your business an edge over others should be welcomed with open arms. That’s why several large corporations have made the cost-effective decision to go solar – and quite a few more small and medium-sized companies are following suit. As this change to renewable energy gains traction and popularity, numerous practices are being put into place to make it a more viable and universally affordable option.

Solar energy is all about the return investment – although initial costs might seem steep, they’re designed to pay off in the long run. It’s estimated that businesses typically pay off their solar panel purchase and installation fees in roughly three to five years, on average. Afterward, they get the benefit of enjoying free electric supply for the duration of their solar system. According to a recent report published by EnergySage, the average commercial property owner should save about 75 percent in overall energy costs. Given rising utility prices, this comes as no surprise.

The power purchase agreement, or PPA for short, represents a more consistently priced financing option, which means no longer relying on erratic power fluctuations and unforeseen outages. According to a standard PPA, the solar provider makes a preestablished agreement with the customer to supply energy at a fixed rate for an extended period of time, say 15-20 years. This plan particularly benefits non-profits, allowing them to harness long-term energy savings. What’s more, it allows these kinds of institutions to rebrand themselves as more progressive, environmentally conscientious, and renewable – all qualities that potentially attract a broader base of prospective clientele.

Owners of newly installed solar systems are eligible to receive a federal tax credit equivalent to 30% of all solar system costs. So, all in all, implementing a solar system could financially incentivize your business, producing more than enough savings to outweigh conventional power methods.
