Economics of Solar: How Businesses Can Save Big
Pakistan’s commercial skyline represents the growing need for energy. Pakistan’s commercial sector itself is a burgeoning one, where many businesses and large-scale corporations thrive to supplement the growing economy. Unfortunately, as much as the commercial sector is growing, the energy sector is still lagging behind, and call it the state’s inefficiency in scaling and growing the grid or whatever, but the fact is that the energy sector of Pakistan has a myriad of problems that make it impossible for the commercial sector to rely solely on the grid. In this blog post, we will look at the importance of solar energy solutions in commercial establishments across Pakistan and how businesses can utilize solar energy to cut their overhead and utilize renewable energy sources for the best business practices.
RS Energy, one of Pakistan’s top solar energy companies, has made it its mission to provide the residential and commercial sectors of Pakistan with the best solar energy solutions. With its comprehensive and efficient solar energy solutions, RS Energy is looking to bring the best of solar energy for complete energy independence. Now, let’s start by discussing the importance of solar energy solutions in commercial establishments.
How can businesses save big with solar energy?
Commercial establishments and their energy requirements are different from, say, industrial and residential energy requirements. The commercial sector is already very oversized and requires lots of energy to keep businesses, factories, manufacturing units and processing plants across Pakistan running. Unfortunately, the grid situation in Pakistan complicates the situation since the grid isn’t reliable at all. This makes the prospect of running and sustaining a business quite difficult, especially in Pakistan, where the business skyline is already being challenged.
Whether it’s cold storage, a processing facility, or a factory that requires extensive electricity throughout the day, energy consumption for commercial establishments is off the charts in Pakistan. For starters, we have lots of processing facilities and cold storage in the country that require lots of energy to run and maintain. The problem with Pakistan is the fact that our grid isn’t reliable at all, and neither is it suitable for high-energy applications. The grid is outdated and neglected, and maintenance hasn’t been done at all. On the other hand, since its growth, the grid hasn’t been scaled properly, and this equates to the commercial sector not getting enough or their due share in the generation potential of the country’s grid.
Energy tariffs
Energy tariffs are a whole new debate when it comes to energy in Pakistan and its relationship with the country's commercial sector. Pakistan’s tax collection system is flawed, to the point where utilities and necessities have to be taxed in order to generate a revenue stream that sustains the overgrown government, state and its obligations. This primarily falls on the utility bills and the electricity bills, as tariffs are revised every summer to maximise revenue generation.
Both residential and commercial sectors are taxed and billed heavily for their energy consumption, and while residential energy consumption can be managed to a certain extent, commercial energy obligations aren’t scalable easily. In fact, once energy requirements have been scaled up, they seldom go down unless the business finds itself in murky waters. Therefore, what ends up happening is that the energy costs for the commercial sector start eating up the overhead costs and in some cases, their profits, which begets them to raise the prices of whatever products or services they have to offer.
Solar energy: the solution for the commercial sector
Solar energy, the best and most usable and practical renewable energy source, offers a great deal of benefits to the commercial sector. First of all, solar energy solutions offer long-term energy reliability and independence, allowing commercial setups of small and large scales to benefit from a one-time investment into a system that then generates free electricity for decades to come. On the other hand, with the ever-growing tariff rates eating into the profits of the establishment or cutting into the overhead costs, solar energy systems promise the elimination of such nuisances completely to provide businesses with a stress-free, energy-efficient solution that keeps their businesses energized, keeps their overhead costs down and keeps their profit margins operable. All in all, solar energy solutions present the best solution for the commercial sector, not only to keep itself afloat but also to keep itself energized and always profitable.
