To meet our growing demand for energy, solar can provide that additional source to supplement or even meet our complete energy needs. Since solar energy is expensive, it would be wise to use it prudently. LED when used with solar can reduce the total cost of ownership considerably, in some cases by more than 50%. In addition to the initial cost savings, there is a huge savings on cooling costs.
Here is an example which shows the savings for a 30,000 sqft office space.
