Here at Demand Power, we specialize in customized energy solutions, including solar renewable energy, to help Ontario Commercial & Industrial (C&I) businesses go greener. For instance, we can add solar panels to your Demand Power energy storage system, allowing you to harness the power of sunlight. This solar power not only assists in charging the battery energy storage system, but also provides you consistent, cost-effective, and green power.
As part of our Green Initiatives, we can help calculate your current carbon footprint too. Before you call us for your own carbon footprint estimate, carry on reading this blog to learn why solar renewable energy and green power is no longer nice to have but essential.
THERE’S NO EXCUSES. SOLAR RENEWABLE ENERGY IS AVAILABLE HERE AND NOW.
A generation ago, industry could be forgiven for not knowing so much about climate change, climate risk, and increasing unpredictable weather. Nowadays however, there’s no excuse, only ignorance.
All around us, there have been countless warning signs informing us that planet Earth has indeed reached an inflection point. According to National Geographic [1], the amount of plastic trash flowing into oceans every year is expected to triple by 2040 to 29 million metric tons. Elsewhere, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4.2 million people die prematurely every year due to outdoor (or ambient) air pollution [2].
As for unpredictable weather, in spring 2021, we all stared on in astonishment as North Texas experienced its coldest temperature in 72 years. With Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport recording a record low temperature of −19°C on February 16, the subsequent Texas power crisis left over 4.3 million Texan homes and businesses without power.
In short, Texas’ power equipment wasn’t winterized, and this crisis serves as a sobering reminder just how devastating a lack of preparedness can be. It’s crucial that industry takes immediate appropriate action to help mitigate or reverse the effects of human activity on the environment before a global catastrophe ensues.
SWITCHING TO GREEN POWER IS NO LONGER VOLUNTARY BUT FUNDAMENTAL
Over the last 25 years, industry has read a lot about green power and solar renewable energy, but not necessarily acted upon it. With each passing year however, there are increasing emission standards, environmental regulations, and fines for causing ecological damage. In other words, switching to environmentally friendly energy is no longer a voluntary choice but a fundamental necessity.
Remarkably, just 20 companies account for one-third of all carbon emissions worldwide [3]. However, it’s up to all companies to do their own bit to reduce their own carbon emissions irrespective of these 20 or so business leaders implementing and maintaining their own green initiatives to inspire others.
Adhering to contemporary green standards shouldn’t just be seen as good PR or a way to strengthen your business’s brand either. Instead, it’s a genuine symbol of commitment in helping protect the wonderful planet we all come home. When every individual business helps change a little, together, industry can change a lot.
WHY HAS THERE BEEN RESISTANCE TO SOLAR RENEWABLE ENERGY AND GREEN POWER?
Change can be challenging for all of us, especially for industry. Ultimately, millions upon millions of dollars, research and engineering have gone into creating traditional power systems and machinery. Over the years, these systems have not only proved efficient and productive but helped C&I businesses generate huge profits to safeguard their future.
The sheer thought of having to re-evaluate, update and replace these systems is downright scary and overwhelming for many C&I businesses. Demand Power understands why C&I businesses feel this way. That’s why we’ve worked hard to develop a series of business-friendly, cost-effective energy solutions that can be procured and implemented with limited time and effort. All in all, our Green Initiatives help businesses fulfil their environmentally friendly obligations in an increasingly conscious world.
HOW CAN DEMAND POWER’S SOLAR PLUS STORAGE HELP MY BUSINESS?
The energy storage industry has experienced rapid growth during the last decade. Take Demand Power’s Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for instance. Solutions like these are super appealing because they allow businesses to continue operating in the same manner while simultaneously greening their operations.
Our Solar Plus Storage energy solution optimizes and harnesses solar energy here and now. Before such a system was installed at your facility, the power you used to receive from the grid had power blips and interruptions which damaged sensitive machinery and equipment. After installation, power is cleansed as it passes through your Demand Power energy storage system. The result is consistent, perfect power, allowing your business to operate 24/7 without any interruptions. The associated energy spend reductions will look incredibly good on your balance sheet too.
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. HELP YOUR BUSINESS GO GREEN WITH DEMAND POWER.
Like we mentioned at the outset, we can construct our energy storage system with solar panels at your commercial or industrial facility. Systems like these are economically sound as they decrease your need for the consumption of expensive on-peak electricity. By committing to battery energy storage, you’re committing to a reduction in spend too.
The best businesses don’t just read about new green measures but make sure their business adheres to them. Call Demand Power Group Inc. at 1.855.336.2638 today to determine the best energy solutions for your business. We’ll start by calculating your current carbon footprint before devising a customized strategy to help your business achieve its green goals.
