Unlike other TE customers, retail businesses see a spike in their brand image (and their profits) when they proudly showcase an energy system. TurtleEnergy custom design can work to this objective with your existing retail property, maximizing customer visibility and assisting in the delivery of real-time energy generation data on site, or even remotely via a retail website. Showing off a renewable energy system has never been of greater value in today's market. TE can maximize brand boosting opportunities in addition to insuring the best possible energy output, and a virtually maintenance free energy source.
Q:
- Why is solar energy appropriate for a retail application?
- Can TurtleEnergy design my renewable system to be visible and appreciated by the public?
- If I'm a retail landlord that's wants to sell electricity to my tenants, how will TurtleEnergy make that possible?
- Can TurtleEnergy enable my renewable energy system to provide uninterrupted power to my building while still feeding selling back energy to the grid?
- design a system to shade cars in my parking lot?
A:
1. 90% of retail activities occur when the sun is high and electricity cost are highest. Additionally, green trends are driving consumer perception and buying choices. Green operations that are openly distinguishable to a customer base will cast a favorable light onto a retailer's brand (now more than ever) and has shown to improve sales and overall brand appreciation.
2. In more ways than one: Energy monitoring via Fat Spaniel Technologies demonstrates live solar panel performance using intuitive graphical data. Web cams monitoring an array can be shown via flat panel displays in a retail space. Fluctuation of energy output (live) turns a display into a fascinating attraction. Additionally, solar panels can often be installed to be visible from the street.
3. TE will provide a revenue grade meter at each electrical account for each tenancy, making distributed energy sales simple.
4. Yes, TE supplies system which are multi-mode (both off grid and on grid) and capable of providing uninterrupted power depending on the power demand. Surplus energy is stored in battery arrays. When batteries are full, the system automatically switches over and sells energy back to the grid.
5. Yes. PV shaded parking lot roofs keep cars cool and customers happy while the roof acts as a revenue stream. Use of lighter weight Uni-Solar PV laminate or Crystalline solar panels allow for a less expensive alternative and are compatible with lighter-duty structures.
