5 ways to cut 70% off your electricity bill with solar energy

1. Choose the right solar energy system for your business

Not all solar energy systems are one-size-fits-all. A manufacturing plant with high power demands will need a very different system than an office building or shopping center. Businesses should carefully evaluate their actual electricity consumption before investing.

Key factors to consider:

• System capacity: Depending on power usage, businesses can install systems from 50kWp to 1MWp or more.
• Solar panel quality: High-efficiency monocrystalline panels help optimize electricity output.
• Battery storage: For nighttime operations or backup needs, battery systems are essential.
• Installation location: Rooftops should have sufficient space and minimal shading for maximum output.

Benefits of proper system design:

• Increase energy self-sufficiency by 50–70%
• Reduce reliance on grid electricity and avoid price hikes
• Increase business asset value with a built-in solar system

2. Align power usage with solar production hours

Solar power performs best during the day, especially between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM when sunlight intensity is highest. Businesses can save significantly by shifting operations to match solar generation hours.

Effective methods include:

• Run energy-intensive machines during the day instead of at night
• Reduce loads during peak utility hours (6:00 PM – 10:00 PM) to avoid high tariffs
• Use battery storage to maximize solar usage without grid dependence

By adjusting consumption schedules, businesses can save an additional 20–30% without investing in new equipment.

3. Use smart solar monitoring solutions from Udata

Without smart monitoring, a solar energy system may never reach peak performance. Udata’s solar monitoring solution offers real-time insights that help businesses control performance and detect issues early.

Key features of Udata’s solution:

Business benefits:

• Boost system performance by 15–20%, reducing energy losses
• Lower maintenance costs through early fault detection
• Ensure consistent power output and proactive energy cost management

4. Leverage EVN’s feed-in tariff policy

If your rooftop solar system produces more electricity than you consume, you can sell the surplus to the national grid through EVN’s feed-in policy. This allows businesses to maximize ROI and generate passive income from renewable energy.

Leveraging this policy not only reduces operational costs but also enhances your brand image as a clean energy contributor.

5. Combine solar energy with other power-saving solutions

Beyond solar power, businesses can further reduce electricity costs by integrating energy-efficient practices:

• Use energy-saving equipment (e.g., LED lights, inverter air conditioners)
• Implement automation systems to control and distribute power efficiently
• Streamline operations to avoid unnecessary energy waste

By combining these strategies, businesses can cut electricity expenses by up to 70% while building a more efficient and sustainable operation.

Solar energy is a crucial step toward sustainable savings and operations. And businesses need a proper monitoring and optimization plan to achieve maximum efficiency.

With Udata’s intelligent monitoring solution, you can control solar output, detect errors early, and boost operational efficiency without energy loss. We help you unlock the full potential of solar energy and ensure long-term savings and performance.
