Is your organization a good candidate for onsite solar?

Onsite solar may be a great choice if you have:

  • Large energy requirements
  • Ownership of the property
  • Expensive electricity rate structures
  • Available roofs or land
  • Large parking area near a facility
  • Locations in utilities and states with favorable incentives and regulations

Let the energy experts at World Kinect conduct an on-site solar assessment to help determine if on-site solar is right for your business.

If onsite solar is not feasible for your location, Community Solar may be an option.

Partner with solar energy experts

Our energy experts understand the details of energy markets and solutions so you don’t have to. When investing in an onsite solar project, the right partner can make all the difference.

World Kinect’s energy specialists are with you from project inception to completion and beyond. From knowing which vendors to trust to understanding complex utility market regulations, our people can simplify your move to renewable energy.

And since you’ll still need traditional power to run your business, World Kinect can help with that, too. Whatever your energy needs, we have experts who live and breathe the details and can tailor solutions for you.

Solar Managed Services

If onsite solar will work for your facility, we can help you get a project off the ground (or on your
roof) from start to finish. After a site review and high-level assessment, our energy experts:

  • Provide preliminary layout designs and production estimates
  • Review a detailed projection of the economics, ROI and potential savings with your team
  • Match customer with strategic developer to implement project

Either via customer RFP proposals or with the faster-to-market option that uses vetted suppliers, our Preferred Developer Network, we manage every detail necessary to get your project from insight to onsite.

Community Solar

Community solar is a shared solar project where the benefits flow to multiple customers, including
businesses and nonprofits. Participants subscribe to—or in some cases own—a portion of the energy generated by an off-site solar array. They receive electric bill credits for their share of the
energy generated from the community solar project. Essentially, it allows commercial and
industrial customers to access solar energy benefits without installing panels on their own roofs.


World Kinect's vast experience with renewable energy can help you navigate the complexities of this offsite solar solution.

 

 

 

Onsite Battery Storage

The deployment of battery storage technology continues to expand globally. Onsite battery storage offers commercial and industrial facility owners with a wide range of potential value propositions. Battery storage technology also offers the ability to unlock additional value streams when coupled with onsite solar.

Some key battery storage value propositions include:

economic return

Economic Return on Investment

Federal and state incentives, utility demand charge savings and access to utility revenue programs can provide a strong return on investment in certain situations.

Decreased Energy Market Risk/Volatility

Battery technology can offer clients the ability to control for future utility rate increases and market volatility.

RE100 Goals

Sustainability Initiative/RE100 Goals

Battery technology can allow for the deployment of additional renewable energy and a more efficient grid.

Onsite Solar Frequently Asked Questions

Why should my organization consider solar?

Cost savings: Once installed, solar panels can generate electricity for free, and the cost of maintenance is relatively low. You can see significant savings on your energy bills over the lifetime of the system.

Environmental benefits: Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source that produces no greenhouse gas emissions or other harmful pollutants. You can reduce your carbon footprint and help mitigate climate change.

Energy independence: Become less reliant on the grid and reduce your exposure to energy price volatility, which can stabilize your energy costs over the long term.

Brand value: Going solar can be a powerful symbol of your organization’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, enhancing your brand value with environmentally conscious customers or stakeholders

Government incentives: In many states, there are government incentives and subsidies that can reduce upfront costs and improve the financial viability of the project. These are in addition to the federal government’s tax incentives via the Inflation Reduction Act.
