“Reduce then Produce”

Reducing energy consumption can be an essential component of an energy use strategy. Initially SPG Solar, Inc. (SPG) analyzes energy use patterns over a one-year period for a business facility.

Before designing a solar system for the facility, SPG recommends a comprehensive energy-conservation solution to first bring down energy demand. This shrinks the size of the solar system needed to overcome energy costs.

The custom demand-reduction solution may incorporate:

  • Updated, efficient lighting
  • Lighting controls
  • Computerized motor controls, soft starts or other kinds of optimization.
  • Improved insulation and weatherization of walls and roofs.
  • Updated heating and cooling systems and water heaters.
  • Landscaping for shade.
  • Switching to efficient Energy Star™ appliances.

Annual energy savings from conservation can be substantial. When combined with a solar PV array, conservation can significantly reduce, if not eliminate, total energy consumption from the grid.
