What kind of businesses should install solar cells?

The following businesses are suitable for installing solar cells because they use a large amount of electricity each day and have relatively high monthly electricity bills.

1. Restaurant business

The restaurant business is a business that needs to use a lot of electricity every day, whether it is electricity for air conditioners, cooking equipment, lighting equipment, and others. Therefore, the monthly electricity bill is quite high.

The advantages of installing solar cells for the restaurant business include:

  • Save electricity costs by up to 70% compared to using electricity from the grid
  • Increase energy security, solar cells can generate electricity even when the power goes out
  • Reduce environmental impact Solar cells are clean energy that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are a cause of global warming.

2. Large industrial factory business

Large industrial factories need to use a lot of power. Because electricity is drawn to be used in many parts of the work, such as machines, production equipment, lighting, and others. Therefore, the monthly electricity bill is also very high.

The advantages of installing solar cells for large industrial businesses include:

  • Save electricity costs by up to 70% compared to using electricity from the grid
  • Increase energy security, solar cells can generate electricity even when the power goes out
  • Reduce environmental impact Solar cells are clean energy that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are a cause of global warming.

3. Beauty clinic business and STAND ALONE stores

Coming out to set up a shop in just one area makes the electricity cost quite high. This reduces the profits that should be obtained from the storefront too much.

The advantages of installing solar cells for beauty clinics and STAND ALONE stores include:

  • Increase energy security, solar cells can generate electricity even when the power goes out
  • Reduce environmental impact Solar cells are clean energy that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are a cause of global warming.

4. Convenience store business is a business that can be said to use electricity almost 24 hours a day. Therefore, the monthly electricity bill is very high. Installing solar cells will help convenience store businesses save electricity costs by 50-70%.

5. Hospitals and hotels install solar cells, save electricity costs, reduce environmental impact

Solar cells can also generate electricity even when the power goes out, which helps increase energy security for hospitals and hotels.

Things to consider before installing solar cells for hospitals and hotels

Before deciding to install solar cells for hospitals and hotels, the following factors should be considered:

  • Electricity consumption: The amount of electricity used by the business each day should be assessed to select the appropriate size of solar panels.
  • Direction and amount of sunlight: The area where the solar panels are installed should be selected with the appropriate direction and amount of sunlight to maximize electricity generation.
  • Budget: The budget for installing solar cells should be assessed to be appropriate for the business.
