Why Commercial Solar Power?

Solar energy can create real value for your business.

 Control Overhead

Solar panels at your business lock in your future electricity costs. Installing solar panels to generates a specific quantity of electricity over time for a one-time, fixed cost enables your business to estimate how much it will be paying for power for up to 25 years. Commercial electric utility rates in Portland General Electric and Pacific Power territory in Oregon have increased an average of 16% in 2024 alone, and market pressures indicate this pace will continue into the future. Who knows what they’ll be spending on power in 25 years? You really could.

Embrace Sustainability

Climate Change is a potential liability for most businesses. Particularly in Oregon, a company's response to climate change and its sustainability initiatives can be driving factors for people when deciding where they’ll work, where they’ll shop, and what companies they’ll choose to support. There is no better way to demonstrate your commitment to sustainability than reducing your carbon footprint through solar power or providing your employees and customers an environment where they can power their electric vehicles with solar energy.

Make Your Business Resilient

How long could your business operate without power, or an internet connection, or site security? Does your business spend more for power at certain times of the day? Do you pay more per KW for peak power usage? Most businesses understand how much they pay for power, but not necessarily why they pay it. There are many reasons why having a solar powered energy storage system on your premises could benefit your business. Our team has designed and installed solar power and battery-based resiliency systems for hospitals, schools, fire departments, municipal water pumping stations, communications networks, and emergency shelters in Portland, across Oregon, and beyond. We bring our extensive expertise to every project to ensure that when the grid goes down, your lights stay on.

“I was referred to Imagine Energy when the inverters of my solar system failed. Their response was prompt, their expertise obvious, their diagnosis accurate, and their counsel about how to repair it was spot on. They have since repaired my system and I am very pleased with everything they did to get that done. I recommend their services without hesitation for repair, and fully expect they would be equally helpful for new installations.”
