Great Question with a Great Answer! 

Solarback takes control of the leased space on your roof, and because we are in the business of saving all parties money, we must first provide a suitable roofing environment for our solar farm. 

This process begins with the quality and integrity of the roof itself.  Solarback will repair and/or replace the roof with a suitable low maintenance roofing structure that will survive the lease term and the manufacturer’s warranty of our solar equipment.  In most cases our roofing work will further insulate the building and lead to even more utility cost reductions.  

Reducing reliance on the grid by producing energy at the location where it is consumed with a limitless free source of energy given to us by the sun is the first step in understanding the economics of long-term savings provided by solar power. 

Supply and demand: As more demand is placed on the grid, the fuel sources required to produce fossil fueled dirty energy will rise as current infrastructure is not sufficient to increase supply of this limited resource.  This will lead to more costly raw materials to generate the power we use, therefore increasing the cost per unit we currently consume. 

Grid reliance: We should all be aware of two major factors relating to the current grid infrastructure that will undoubtably lead to higher energy costs for our homes and businesses. 

1. Our electric energy grid is currently insufficient for the power we cumulatively consume.  Major repairs and escalated maintenance and overhauls are underway, creating higher electricity bills already.  Most utility companies have petitioned their regulatory authorities to raise prices even further so they can make the capital expenditure necessary to handle our immediate needs.  In prior years, most utilities would file for general rate increases every two to five years.  Recently, we have seen utilities increase rates up to four times in the last 12 months. Unfortunately, these top-down costs will be seen on utility bills with greater frequency and larger gaps higher. 
2. Data centers will soon command a massive uptick in overall energy consumption by 10X!  Some people who read point number one above and feel like doing nothing regarding energy costs may work out for them, but nobody is ok with 10X.  We already have huge data centers built and waiting to go into service.  Others are being planned and their insatiable appetite for electricity is unmatched by anything history has ever seen.

Electricity prices will naturally go higher because of economic laws that govern pricing across all markets.  The real question will be how fast and how high?  Hedge against energy hyperinflation ASAP.  Solarback will show you how!

Leasing to Solarback is a smart, sustainable investment. Transform your rooftop into a revenue-generating asset while contributing to renewable energy efforts. 

Solar power has become one of the most widely adopted renewable energy sources in the fight against climate change. Its environmental benefits extend far beyond reducing greenhouse gas emissions, offering a cleaner, sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Solarback are at the forefront of this revolution, making solar power accessible and impactful for commercial businesses and communities alike. But how exactly does solar energy benefit the environment, and why should you consider supporting it? 

1. Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions 

The most significant environmental benefit of solar power is its ability to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike coal, oil, or natural gas, solar energy does not emit carbon dioxide or other harmful pollutants when generating electricity. By choosing solar power, you contribute to lowering global emissions and combatting climate change. 

Solarback specializes in installing solar systems that help businesses transition to clean energy. Each installation contributes to a collective reduction in carbon footprints, bringing us closer to a sustainable future. 

2. Minimizes Air Pollution 

Traditional power plants emit pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which lead to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues in humans. Solar energy eliminates the need for burning fossil fuels, resulting in cleaner air and healthier communities. 

By leasing your commercial rooftop to Solarback, you’re not just earning passive income—you’re also improving air quality in your local area by supporting clean energy generation. 

3. Decreased Dependence on Non-Renewable Resources 

Coal, oil, and natural gas reserves are finite, and extraction processes are environmentally destructive. Solar power provides a nearly infinite energy source, harnessed directly from the sun. Investing in solar means reducing reliance on these depleting resources, protecting ecosystems from mining and drilling impacts. 

4. Supports Biodiversity 

Mining and drilling for fossil fuels often destroys natural habitats, displacing wildlife and disrupting ecosystems. Solar installations, especially rooftop systems like those provided by Solarback, have minimal land-use impact. By utilizing existing spaces, such as rooftops, solar projects protect natural landscapes and support biodiversity.

As the world undergoes another major energy transition to more sustainable solutions, one question remains at the forefront: What is the cheapest energy source? The answer is clear and supported by research—renewable energy, more specifically, solar power. Solar is now one of the most cost-effective energy sources globally. Its affordability, combined with its environmental benefits, makes solar a compelling choice for both individuals and businesses. Solarback is making this technology more accessible, without you having to make any capital expenditures. 

Why Solar Power Is the Cheapest Energy Source: 

1. Declining Costs of Solar Technology 

Over the past decade, the cost of solar panel production and installation has plummeted. Advances in technology, mass production, and value engineering now make it possible for Solarback to fund your entire project. 

2. No Fuel Costs 

Solar power relies entirely on sunlight, which is free and abundant. Unlike fossil fuels that incur ongoing expenses for extraction, transportation, and refinement, solar systems eliminate these costs entirely, resulting in significant long-term savings. 

3. Low Maintenance Costs 

Solar panels are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. Once installed, systems provided by Solarback operate efficiently for decades and our economies of scale allow us to service these rooftop solar farms with no cost to the property owner.

4. Government Incentives and Tax Benefits 

Solarback works with the highest level of federal, state, city, and county government programs to acquire all financial incentives and rebates that help our model thrive while allowing our clients to enjoy zero capital investment while participating in the renewable energy movement. 

• Coal and Natural Gas: While historically dominant, fossil fuels are increasingly expensive due to rising extraction costs and environmental regulations. They also carry hidden costs related to pollution and public health.
