Can anyone tell me the financial benefits of using solar panels, from a business perspective rather than a personal one?
Thanks!
It's nice to know you're doing your bit for the planet, but it will be years before you recoup what you've paid out for installation. Nice to have free hot water all summer though.
1. Solar energy does not create pollution
2. We basically have solar as long as the sun exists, which is probably for another 5 years

BROWARD COUNTY RECEIVES GRANT TO HELP EXPAND SOLAR ENERGY
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 15 -- Broward County has issued the following news release:
Broward County has received a $646,367 grant to help reduce the cost and wait time associated with the installation of photovoltaic (PV), or rooftop solar systems, by residents and businesses.
The Rooftop Solar Challenge grant is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) $12 million SunShot Initiative, the goal of which is to jumpstart the expansion of solar energy by streamlining the application, permitting and installation processes for PV systems.
Broward County was the only government or organization in Florida to receive funds from the program, and one of only 22 in the nation. The award application was the result of a collaborative effort between the Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department and the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Professional Standards.

Patterns of usage can affect what size system you’ll need. If you’re able to switch heavy usage times to the middle of the day, when hot water production is peaking, you’ll make the best use of your system. Similarly, it’s best to spread hot-water usage, such as laundry, throughout the week, instead of concentrating it in one or two days.
