Office solar power generation equipment

Offices and other professional buildings are well-suited to solar energy, as they require large amounts of electricity to power heating and cooling systems, lighting and electronics. Using solar power for professional buildings is also an eco-friendly alternative to traditional electricity that can save your company money on operational expenses.

Office buildings are ideal for solar panel installation. They have plenty of unused square footage on their roofs to place solar panels. With a sizeable coverage area, your solar panels will generate large amounts of power to meet the demands of your building's energy consumption. Because solar energy is a renewable resource, it will never run out.

There are two business models in captive solar power generation: (1) self-owned model, where equipment is installed as an asset of the company, and (2) power purchase agreement (PPA) model, where equipment is owned by a third party and installed free of charge, eliminating the initial cost, and the electricity obtained is purchased at a low price.

Captive solar power generation is the use of power generated from solar panels installed on the rooftop of your factory or office building to save an electricity bill. Depending on how the power is used, there are two types: (1) full consumption and (2) surplus power sale.

Finally, we will briefly go over the components required for the introduction of captive solar power generation. First, a number of solar panels are needed that will sufficiently cover your power requirements. Solar panels generate direct current (DC), so a power conditioning system (PCS) is needed to convert it to alternating current (AC).

The system is used to purchase electricity from an electric utility company to make up the shortfall in electricity requirement that is not covered by self-generated solar power. Without a surplus electricity sales contract with an electric utility company, reverse power flow (from PCS to grid) is prohibited.
