6 FAQs about Solar Onsite Energy Outdoor Purchase

Do on-site solar systems work everywhere?

However, many on-site systems simply can't scale large enough to cover full consumption needs, so they typically only cover a percentage of the facility's needs, relying on traditional electricity to cover the deficit. They also don't work everywhere as solar and wind resource varies from location to location, as well as incentives and rebates.

What are on-site renewables?

First, let's define each. On-site renewables, aka direct, are “behind the meter” systems at a specific location, providing energy on-demand or via on-site storage (i.e., batteries). These are typically financed, owned, and managed by the company themselves.

Do off-site solar and wind projects work everywhere?

They also don't work everywhere as solar and wind resource varies from location to location, as well as incentives and rebates. Large energy consumers are increasingly looking to procure their renewable energy from off-site projects.

Are on-site and off-site energy systems a good investment?

Many benefits exist for both on- and off-site systems. On-site systems offer a better return on investment because financial savings are across the entire electricity supply chain – costs associated with energy generation, transmission and distribution, market volatility, and environmental costs.

What is an onsite power purchase agreement (PPA)?

Onsite power purchase agreements (PPAs) are a win-win for businesses and energy producers who want to benefit from clean, affordable, and reliable electricity. By signing an onsite PPA, the buyer agrees to purchase electricity from a renewable energy generator located on their own site, such as a solar panel or a wind turbine.

What are off-site renewables?

Off-site renewables generally require an agreement with an outside utility. Both on- and off-site projects can include but are not limited to solar farms, biomass, landfill gas, hydro, and wind, depending on their geographic location and resource availability. Many benefits exist for both on- and off-site systems.
