Technical FAQs 4

What is on-site solar?

On-site solar refers to a solar energy system that is installed directly on the property where the energy will be used. This is the most common form of solar energy generation for residential homes and commercial buildings.

Should businesses choose onsite or offsite solar?

As businesses work toward reducing their carbon footprints and energy costs, they face a pivotal decision: should they opt for an onsite renewable energy solution, like a rooftop solar installation, or consider an offsite option, such as grid-connected Open Access solar?

Why should you choose on-site solar?

Control Over Energy Production: With on-site solar, you have complete control over your energy production and usage. You can monitor system performance and make adjustments to maximize efficiency. 5. Environmental Impact: On-site solar reduces your carbon footprint by allowing you to generate clean, renewable energy on your own property.

Is offsite solar better than onsite solar?

Regardless of the exact method, participating in offsite solar can have upsides similar to onsite. While both offsite and onsite options offer project structuring with no upfront installation costs and provide renewable energy at a fixed cost, the two system types ultimately can offer their own distinct benefits.
