In today’s energy-conscious world, installing photovoltaic (PV) systems on industrial and commercial rooftops is more than just an environmental initiative—it is a strategic move toward energy independence and cost efficiency. Not only can PV installations help reduce carbon emissions, but when combined with a household energy storage system or home energy storage, businesses can maximize self-consumption and energy savings.
Many enterprises have vast rooftop spaces that remain unused. Installing a PV system transforms these idle areas into valuable energy production zones.
Example Use Case:
A 5,000 m² rooftop can accommodate a 500 kW PV system
Annual power generation: ~600,000 kWh
Benefit: Significant savings on electricity and revenue from surplus power fed into the grid
With over 25 years of operational life, a rooftop PV system offers high returns, often achieving payback within 4 to 5 years.
Industrial and commercial facilities often face high electricity tariffs, especially during peak hours. By generating electricity during daylight hours, PV systems allow for significant cost savings through:
Self-consumption: Direct use of solar power during production hours
Grid contribution: Selling excess power back to the grid for additional revenue
Case Study: In Henan, where commercial electricity costs range from ¥0.7 to ¥1.2/kWh, switching to rooftop PV can drastically cut down utility bills.
Corporate social responsibility is now a business essential. PV systems:
Operate without noise, emissions, or pollution
Reduce CO2 emissions by dozens of tons annually
Contribute to green certifications and ESG goals
For companies eyeing public listing or seeking investor recognition, rooftop photovoltaics enhance corporate image and attract eco-conscious consumers.
Photovoltaic panels do more than generate electricity. They also act as an insulating layer:
Block sunlight from directly heating factory roofs
Reduce indoor temperature by 2–5°C
Lower demand for air conditioning and associated electricity consumption
This added benefit promotes a more comfortable working environment and further energy savings.
With the national push for carbon neutrality, policies strongly favor renewable energy adoption:
Financial subsidies and incentives
Grid access for surplus energy
Strategic inclusion of solar power in industrial development plans
This makes rooftop solar a timely and future-proof investment for enterprises.
By integrating a household energy storage system, businesses can store excess solar power for use during non-sunlight hours. The benefits of coupling PV with energy storage include:
Increased energy independence
Protection from grid outages
Optimized energy utilization and peak shaving
Home energy storage turns a traditional PV system into a smart, responsive energy ecosystem.
Today individuals are giving serious attention to energy issues. Implementing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on factory roofs and commercial buildings not only makes the environment secure, but also allows companies to be energy-independent and save enormous amounts of money. Solar photovoltaics not only reduce carbon output, but can be used in conjunction with home energy storage systems, which allow companies to use more of their own electricity, saving energy and being efficient.
Big roofs are possessed by most companies, but they have remained idle. After solar photovoltaic systems have been installed, these idle spaces can be transformed into "treasure land" for the generation of power.
Case: You can install a 500 kilowatt photovoltaic system in the roof space of 5000 square meters and can generate approximately 600,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity every year. Not only are you going to save a considerable amount of electricity charges, but you will also be selling surplus electricity to the grid to gain profit. A photovoltaic system will have a life of more than 25 years and it will mostly provide returns in 4 to 5 years, which is a good return.
Industrial and commercial electricity is extremely expensive, particularly during peak hours. Solar photovoltaic systems generate electricity from the sun during the day, thereby saving companies a lot of money:
Self-use: Utilize solar energy to produce electricity directly during the day, thereby saving on purchasing electricity from the power grid.
Selling electricity: Excess electricity can also provide extra revenue by selling it to the power grid.
Case: Commercial electricity in Henan is sold at 0.7-1.2 yuan per kWh. Companies can save a lot of money on electricity bills after installing a rooftop photovoltaic system.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) matters a lot these days. With the installation of a photovoltaic system, companies can:
Zero noise, zero pollution: Zero emissions in operation.
Lower carbon emissions: Reduce dozens of tons of carbon dioxide each year.
Help with green certification: Gain points for corporate ESG goals.
For companies which will go public or look for investors, photovoltaic systems can not only make them appear more respectable, but also attract consumers who have a high sense of environmental concern.
Photovoltaic panels not only produce electricity but also insulate:
Block heat: Block direct sunlight heating the roof, and reduce indoor temperature by 2 to 5 degrees Celsius.
Save air conditioning charges: Reduce air conditioning consumption and save greater energy.
This additional benefit not only creates a more pleasant working climate, but also saves greater electricity bills.
The requested country is strongly promoting carbon neutrality and has formulated many policies to support renewable energy:
Subsidies and incentives: Government provides financial subsidies to encourage businesses to install photovoltaic systems.
Grid access: The surplus electricity can be injected into the grid.
Strategic planning: Incorporate solar energy into industrial development planning.
These policies make rooftop photovoltaic systems a timely and foresightful investment for business.
With home energy storage systems, companies can save surplus solar energy and use it for nighttime or cloudy days. With photovoltaics integrated with energy storage, there can be:
Stronger energy independence: Reduce dependence on external power grids.
Avoid power blackouts: In case of a failure in the power grid, the energy storage system can provide an emergency power supply.
Maximize electricity usage: Use stored electricity during peak electricity usage in order to reduce electricity costs.
Residential storage can make traditional photovoltaic systems smart and versatile, and into an optimal energy system.
