摘要
This article provides the information necessary for commercial and industrial facility managers to consider and evaluate solar applications. The objective of the article is to help facility and energy managers determine the cost and value of potential solar applications for commercial and industrial facilities. Technologies discussed include solar water heating for domestic, service, process and pool heating; solar lighting; and solar electric photovoltaic and wind energy systems. A method of determining the viability and effective cost of solar energy systems and directly comparing the cost of delivered solar energy to the cost of conventional energy sources is provided. By using the effective cost of solar energy in $ per million Btu (MBtu), facility managers can determine the cost effectiveness of potential solar applications at their facilities. The article provides facility managers an overview of the various solar technologies and information as to the viability, cost and benefits of solar applications. Additional information highlighting some of the available financial incentives for using solar energy systems on commercial and industrial facilities is provided.
