SolBid Has Made it Easy For Businesses to Go Solar

    BOSTON, MA, May 10, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The solar industry has been growing at a record pace, projected to grow a staggering 119% in 2016. By now it's no secret that solar can provide exceptional returns, helping businesses reduce operational costs, increase their bottom line and at the same time meet sustainability goals. Rooftop solar makes sense, but due to the required time commitment, lack of customer facing resources and industry transparency, many businesses aren't pursuing solar as a viable option.

SolBid Co-Founders Nate Raymond and Ian Ricci saw this as an opportunity and created SolBid, a commercial solar energy services company. The company has greatly simplified the solar process through their innovative (RSP) Rapid Solar Proposal platform, where users can easily visualize solar panels on their roof and receive a comprehensive solar analysis for their business in a matter of minutes, with nothing more than their electric bill and a notebook or tablet. Providing businesses with actionable insights to see if solar is a viable investment without spending time on lengthy sales calls and onsite visits.

The analysis provides a detailed financial view, comparing the options of financing the solar energy system or buying it outright. The analysis also displays the amount of solar energy production the system will provide and showcases the positive environmental impact the system will have on the local community.

The platform puts to work a vast number of computations and real-time government data to provide accurate solar energy production and financial modeling, automatically taking into consideration design elements for maximum energy production, appropriate setbacks for fire code safety, among many other factors.

The commercial solar company provides solar financing, real-time energy production monitoring and a complimentary marketing package so businesses can easily showcase their solar energy system and create awareness of their social and environmental responsibility. SolBid also contributes a portion of revenues from each sale towards their solar for American school's initiative called "Brighter Classrooms".

Buildings currently consume 70% of the electric load in the U.S. and due to the use of outdated fossil fueled electric utilities, these buildings are accounting for 39% of total CO2 emissions. With the widespread adoption of clean, rooftop solar we can provide a healthier environment and join the fight against climate change, all while helping business' reduce costs.
