The cost of electricity has increased 9.1% per year since 2003 in New Jersey. Energy has become a significant portion of the operating budget, influencing product
costs, revenues, and profits.
In this example, a business with an electrical bill of $60,000 will spend over $4 million on electricity within 25 years.
However, if it invests in a solar energy system to supply its electricity, the business can pay off the system within 5 years and produce revenues exceeding $3.5 million within 25 years.
