Corporations and manufacturers operating in Mexico are constantly seeking innovative ways to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices. One solution that is rapidly gaining traction is the adoption of rooftop solar systems.

The Benefits of Rooftop Solar

The advantages of adopting rooftop solar are significant. It offers the potential to significantly lower costs by roughly 20% to 40%. With no installation costs and no permits required, corporations can also expect to see a reduction in their greenhouse gas emissions.

Moreover, the installation time for a rooftop solar project is relatively short, typically ranging from five to seven months. This means corporations can start reaping the benefits of solar energy in a relatively short timeframe.

A Commitment to ESG

In today's business landscape, demonstrating a commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles is no longer optional. Stakeholders, including clients, employees, and investors, are increasingly evaluating corporations based on their ESG performance. By adopting rooftop solar, corporations can visibly show their commitment to sustainability, enhancing their reputation and potentially attracting more business.

Mitigating Business Risks

Rooftop solar also offers a way for corporations to mitigate the risk of disruptions to their operations due to grid transmission problems. Factors such as weather, natural disasters, and excessive demand can all impact the electricity supply to a facility. By generating their own power onsite, corporations can achieve greater reliability and self-sufficiency, reducing their reliance on the national power grid.

Moreover, any surplus energy produced by the onsite solar system that is not needed at the facility can be sold back to the grid through a process known as net metering. 

Choosing the Right Partner

While the benefits of rooftop solar are clear, it's important for corporations to work with an experienced Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process. An experienced EPC contractor is less likely to experience logistical issues and delays, ensuring that corporations can achieve the expected savings from their rooftop solar projects.

The Fundamentals for Rooftop Solar Remain Strong

Rooftop solar offers a compelling solution for corporations in Mexico looking to lower their operating expenses, demonstrate their commitment to ESG, and mitigate business risks. As the costs of solar technology continue to decline, and with the high level of irradiance in Mexico, the case for rooftop solar becomes even stronger.
