Electricity makes up a huge part of the operational expenses at most hotels. Hotels continuously run air conditioning or heating to maintain guest comfort. Also, indoor and outdoor lighting are in use all day, year-round. Both on-roof and creative canopies are great options for hotels. Solar panel installations can offset much of this necessary energy consumption, allowing hotels to drastically cut utility bills.

Photovoltaic systems have an excellent rate of return on investment (ROI) and improve RevPAR for hotel owners. Many convenient financing options are available, and thanks to the federal solar tax credit and other state and local financial incentives, commercial installations are more affordable today than ever before.
