Introduction

Solar Solutions That Align Sustainability and Financial Performance

Solar energy has become an increasingly attractive option for organizations seeking to reduce emissions, stabilize long-term energy costs, and advance sustainability commitments. Choosing the right solar strategy, however, requires more than evaluating available projects. Organizations must determine whether on-site or off-site solar best aligns with their facilities, energy usage, financial objectives, and long-term business goals.

Tradition Energy helps organizations determine whether solar is the right solution and identify the approach that best aligns with their energy usage, financial priorities, and sustainability objectives. We assess site suitability, project economics, operational considerations, available incentives, and market options to develop customized strategies that maximize the long-term value of renewable energy investments.

Factors to Consider Before Choosing Solar

Every organization has unique operational, financial, and sustainability objectives. Evaluating these factors early helps identify the solar solution that delivers the greatest long-term value.

1

Facility Characteristics

Available roof space, land, structural considerations, and facility ownership all influence whether on-site solar is a viable option.

2

Energy Usage

Annual electricity consumption, load profile, and operating schedules affect project economics and the suitability of different solar solutions.

 

3

Financial Objectives

Capital availability, budget priorities, available incentives, and desired return on investment should be considered when evaluating solar opportunities.

 

4

Sustainability Goals

Renewable energy targets, emissions reduction commitments, sustainability initiatives, and environmental reporting requirements help determine the most appropriate solar strategy.

 

Choosing the Right Solar Solution

Organizations have multiple pathways to incorporate solar energy into their energy and sustainability strategies. The most effective solution depends on facility characteristics, energy usage, financial objectives, available incentives, and long-term sustainability goals. Tradition Energy helps clients evaluate each option to determine the most advantageous approach for their organization.

On-Site Solar

Generate renewable electricity directly at your facilities to offset consumption and support long-term sustainability objectives.

On-Site Solar PPA

Host solar generation at your facility through a third-party ownership structure, enabling your organization to purchase the electricity produced without making the upfront capital investment required to own the system.

Community Solar

Participate in shared solar projects without installing equipment on-site, making renewable energy accessible for facilities that cannot support on-site generation.

Off-Site Solar PPA

Support the development of utility-scale solar projects through long-term agreements that deliver renewable energy and environmental attributes.
