To the utilities, renewable energy such as solar may seem like cell phone technology did to telephone companies, like MP3 technology did to record companies - as competition, or even a replacement. Fast forward 10 - 20 years and the telephone companies and the record companies are still here, but so are cell phones and iTunes. Distributed solar generation will not replace centralized generation of utilities; instead it will help meet the growing demands of utility consumers. HelioSage partners with utilities that then stand to benefit from large scale solar installations.
Diversified Energy Generation
Coal fired plants, nuclear plants, hydroelectric plants, wind farms and now utility scale solar farms; in the right states, in the right locations, large-scale solar energy farms can mitigate risks of failed legislation to build a new coal fired plant or can offset the loss of business because the new nuclear plant is still 10 years away from completion.
State RPS
A utility scale HelioSage energy system helps utilities meet their ever-increasing renewable portfolio standards.
Market Share
As energy demand increases and the public continues to embrace renewable energy, offering solar energy – even at a higher rate – will help increase market share.
Positive Public Relations
Belching coal fired plants, NIMBY of a nuclear plant, and brown outs versus clean, inexhaustible solar energy -- when faced with this choice, what will communities choose?
