At Sunbridge Solar, we believe in taking a holistic approach to meet your commercial property’s energy challenges.

Solar panels plus LED lighting upgrades will significantly increase your short-term and long-term energy savings. If you own a commercial building and are planning to install solar panels then first consider a free consultation. We can help you evaluate the savings from upgrading your existing lighting to high efficiency LED lighting.

The Energy Trust of Oregon and Clark Public Utilities offers cash incentives for installing Energy Star Certified LED replacement bulbs which usually saves approximately $25-$30 per bulb. Investing in energy efficiency first can cut your bill dramatically and make installing commercial solar panels more attractive.

Why LED Upgrades Will Benefit Your Business

Lighting Project Example Costs

On a recent project, our customer had an annual energy usage of about 80,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). At first, their plan was to install 80 kilowatts (kW) solar panel system to try and offset 100% of their usage. We suggested a lighting audit and determined that by upgrading all of their lightings to LED they could offset more than 50% of their usage.

- LED Upgrade Project Cost: $30,000
- Energy Trust Rebate: $9,000
- Out of Pocket Cost: $21,000
- Yearly kWh Savings: 44,000 kWh
- Yearly Savings: $4,500
- Simple Payback: 4.6 years

Now, with their projected usage at 36,000 kWh per year, only a 36 kW solar panel system was needed to allow them to become net zero saving them tens of thousands of dollars on upfront cost. On average it is 6 times more cost effective from an energy savings perspective to invest in energy efficiency compared to energy generation.
