Grocery Stores Owners’ and Investors’ never needed a reason to convince them of the need to lower their daily operating costs. To start, running multiple refrigerators, freezers, air conditions and, 24 hours a day lighting inside and outside can add thousands of dollars each month to their operating costs, further decreasing their ever-narrow profit margins.

Second, with the especially incredibly outrageous ever rising electricity cost, and the unchallenged Utility Operators practice of increasing their rates in an average of 2.5% – 3.5% annually while new fees being added frequently, including the trend to switch all utilities’ business customers to Time-of-Use (TOU) rate schedule; which will, most likely, lead to an even higher energy bills! All the above, made Grocery Stores owners and operators search for ways to break this vicious cycle all but imperative!

The best Grocery Stores Solar Systems design should offer the ability to be upgradable to more efficient solar modules without replacing the entire system. This extends the life of the system, and “future-proofs” the investment, as researchers continue to reach new efficiencies in solar cells.

Multiple Green technologies can be implemented in supermarkets to even provide more savings including:

With all the obvious benefits and savings that come with installing solar systems at supermarkets and grocery stores; federal, state, local & utility incentives and rebates made it an even much easier and smarter decision to make.

These credits and rebates can cut the actual cost down by at least half or more, resulting in a higher ROI ratio and a very short payback period. As a matter of fact, a supermarket solar system can pay for itself in just a few years, after that, it’s a pure profit center for the owners and operators!

A Year-after-Year whopping 25% ROI can be realized when above various incentives are applied to reduce the total cost of Supermarkets’ Solar Systems installation, a music to the ears of supermarkets operators and Investors!
