Cotterman & Company, Inc. is proud to announce that we have partnered up with a solar company to help our valued customers navigate the Solar Investment Tax Credits. They can identify and evaluate energy conservation measures (ECM’s) that reduce a customer’s recurring electrical consumption and supplement the electricity purchased from the grid with on-site renewable power generation.
When investing in a rooftop solar energy system, it’s important to make sure that your roof is ready to protect your building for years to come. Installing the right components can help ensure you receive your anticipated return on investment.
When installing a rooftop solar array, it’s easy to get lost in electrical considerations, structural calculations, and placement of panels. However, it’s just as important to consider the roof underneath the solar array and the manner in which panels will be anchored or attached to the building. Some important points to think about include:
- Roof warranties and the ability to make repairs
- Enhancements to the existing roof or when installing a new roof
- Roof access, foot traffic and maintenance
- Solar panel attachment or racking systems
BENEFITS OF ROOFTOP SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS
Energy generation:
As solar energy technology has become cheaper and more efficient, it has become a more attractive energy source for many building owners.
Government incentives:
Building owners can take advantage of government incentives to make installing solar panels on their roof a worthwhile investment.
Commitment to sustainability and renewable resources:
Solar energy is an excellent source of renewable electricity, and installing a rooftop solar array is a perfect way for companies and building owners to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while using space that is otherwise unused.
