Overcoming Roadblocks and Implementing Solar

As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, more and more facility leaders are looking for a way to improve sustainability with large-scale solar programs that establish their environmental commitment while providing matching financial rewards. Unfortunately for many, implementing renewable energy into their buildings is often easier said than done.

Why? The typical, old-school model for solar projects still practiced today requires the engagement of a third-party vendor at each growth phase. Facility managers must research, negotiate and ultimately hire a firm for the initial design, then begin the hunt all over again for an installation company, and again for an investment firm and so on until they have all of the partners required to complete their project. Financing in particular becomes a nightmare in these traditional models as numerous complex contracts are negotiated and drawn up, a time consuming and often repetitious process.

This fragmented model creates a seemingly endless path of exhaustion and lost dollars, preventing building managers from going solar.

An easier way forward
To help facility leaders successfully meet their sustainability goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner, Panasonic Eco Solutions has developed an innovative, streamlined solar solution. Now, instead of jumping around from one contract to the next, arranging meetings and calls with an endless number of individuals and worrying about varying project timelines, facility executives can join forces with Panasonic Eco Solutions, a fully integrated partner that brings everything under one roof.

Panasonic’s extensive network of experienced solar project managers know what is required and who to work with at every stage, regardless of the scope or location of the property involved. They propel projects forward, selecting developers and installers, securing permits, connecting with the grid, procuring tax incentives, and executing favorable legal and financial terms. Contracts and financial deals that typically get burdened with legal review are consolidated and structured more efficiently, expediting the process and reducing costs.

Providing everything from construction and financing to operation and maintenance, Panasonic becomes the go to, trusted point of contact for facility managers leading solar installations. Understanding that every organization is different and each project is unique, Panasonic works with companies to help determine the best system for their facility based on engineering, financial, and sustainability goals or requirements.

Why it matters
You already know the reasons why you should be looking into solar options for your property. Outdated solar models stunt this long-term growth and development by exacerbating the fragmentation of the process and adding needless barriers to what should be a comprehensive, streamlined experience.

Panasonic Eco Solutions’ end-to-end solar solution provides support at the start and, perhaps most importantly, down the line, where it is often missing and needed the most. Having this type of backing and security reduces stress and eliminates worry about brand management and reputation.

Solar projects don’t have to become a mess of numerous contracts, vendors and coordination concerns. Thanks to streamlined solar solutions, more and more facility managers are gaining access to clean, sustainable solar energy.
