Benefits
Energy is a commercial property’s
single largest operating expense
The most expensive energy costs occur in the summer time, particularly in the afternoon. By investing in solar thermal HVAC you can protect your company from rising energy costs.
For the 20-year life of the system, a significant percentage of your heating and cooling costs won’t increase. Depending on the size of system and building design, the return on your investment can be as high as 15% with the cost of cooling and heating energy fixed at the current rates.
Using SolarAire technology, your peak demand charges can be reduced by as much as 50%. This not only helps out your pocket book directly but it also helps your community by taking a load off the electric grid.
Working with a green company, like SolarAire, enhances your corporate image and gives a sense of satisfaction that you are doing your part for the future. You and your employees will be proud of your commitment to the environment and doing business the green way.

Our systems qualify for utility rebates, federal tax credits and are also
free of property taxes. How well a system performs financially varies
with the unique cooling, heating and hot water demands of your
building. We’ve analyzed all sorts of buildings and have reached these
general conclusions:

Fixed Cost of HVAC energy over life of system
Except for a small amount of energy for pumps and for backup during cloudy days in the winter, your energy costs are fixed by the net cost of the system. Consider it a hedge against rising conventional fuel costs.
Lowers cost and reduces
required capacity of back up power
Since your backup generator will not have to run a conventional electric air conditioner; it can be of a much smaller size.

May be eligible for green credits for CO2 reduction
Renewable energy credits are already available for PV systems. Based on the energy output of the system other businesses can buy a right to the clean energy and thereby claim they are reducing their carbon footprint.
Energy is free for two-thirds of the system’s life
Most systems pay for themselves in eight years or less. Once it’s paid off you only pay for the small amount of power the system uses for pumps and the occasional backup of the boiler.
