74. Which inverter type and brand are best Nationwide?

Choosing the best solar inverter depends on your specific needs and circumstances, but one of the top brands that's widely recognized for its quality and reliability is Enphase Energy. Enphase is a highly respected brand in the solar industry, particularly known for its microinverters. Microinverters operate differently from traditional string inverters. Instead of having one inverter for the entire solar array, each solar panel has its own microinverter attached to it. This setup offers several advantages.

Firstly, the output of each solar panel is optimized individually, which can lead to a more efficient system overall, especially in scenarios where some panels might be shaded at certain times of the day.

Secondly, microinverters can enhance the reliability of your solar system. If one panel (or its inverter) fails, the rest of the system continues to produce electricity, unlike string inverters where the entire string is affected.

Enphase microinverters are known for their quality, durability, and high efficiency. They also come with a robust monitoring system that allows homeowners to monitor the performance of each individual panel in their system, making troubleshooting easier.

SolarEdge is another highly respected brand in the solar industry, SolarEdge's inverters are known for their efficiency, durability, and smart features. They're compatible with power optimizers, which are installed on each panel to maximize output and mitigate any performance issues due to shading or panel mismatches. This ensures that each panel operates independently at its maximum potential, increasing overall system performance.

Moreover, SolarEdge inverters come with a sophisticated monitoring platform that provides real-time performance tracking and alerts for easy maintenance.

In conclusion, microinverters tend to be more expensive than traditional string inverters. Therefore, whether Enphase microinverters or SolarEdge String Inverters are the best choice for you depends on your specific needs, budget, and the layout of your solar panel system. The Renewable Energy Project, by TIER 1 Solar Solutions, can provide a professional assessment to help you make the best choice for your home Nationwide.

75. Which type of inverter is more efficient and the better choice, Enphase Micro Inverters or a SolarEdge String Inverter?

When it comes to either a SolarEdge inverter or an Enphase microinverter, both are excellent choices, and their efficiency will be comparable. The decision mainly depends on the specific conditions of your installation and personal preferences.

If your solar array is likely to experience partial shading at any time during the day (from trees, chimneys, etc.), or if the panels are oriented in multiple directions, then Enphase microinverters could be a better choice. Microinverters optimize the performance of each individual solar panel, so the entire system doesn't suffer from the reduced performance of one shaded panel.

On the other hand, SolarEdge inverters, when paired with power optimizers (devices attached to each panel, similar to microinverters), can offer similar benefits to microinverters, but with the cost-effectiveness of a string inverter system.

Furthermore, if future expandability of your solar system is a consideration, SolarEdge inverters might provide a more straightforward upgrade path, allowing for additional panels to be added more easily.

Both SolarEdge and Enphase offer robust system monitoring capabilities, allowing you to track your solar system’s performance in real time. In terms of reliability, both brands are well regarded and offer competitive warranties.

Ultimately, it is best to discuss your specific needs and circumstances with a trusted solar provider, such as The Renewable Energy Project, by TIER 1 Solar Solutions, to determine the most efficient and cost-effective setup for your home. Enphase microinverters are designed to be paired with individual solar panels. the Enphase IQ8+ and IQ8M microinverters are commonly used with high-output panels up to a 460-watt monocrystalline panel. The IQ8+ can handle panels up to 440 watts, making it suitable for your most residential systems. However, if you want to ensure maximum efficiency, particularly if you anticipate panel output may occasionally exceed the 440-watt rating due to very bright sunlight, the IQ8M is designed for high-power panels and can handle up to 460 watts. Both models include Enphase's advanced grid functions and the latest high-performance microinverter technology. The Renewable Energy Project, by TIER 1 Solar Solutions, would be able to provide the most current and appropriate recommendations based on your specific needs.

76. What Is the Best Direction for Solar Panels to Face?

South-facing solar panels are the best option for most homeowners. In the U.S. solar panels perform the best – that is, generate the most power – when they face south. South-facing panels are also best if you use net metering or solar batteries for energy storage. Panels turned away from the south generate less power – about 15% less when facing east or west, and around 30% less if facing north. If you have Time of Use (TOU) electric billing with exorbitantly high peak rates, you may benefit from having your panels point southwest. South is the best direction for solar panels to face overall. In nearly all situations, you will see the greatest utility bill savings and quickest payback period if your panels point south instead of in another direction. South-facing panels have superior economics for the following reasons:

They generate more solar energy.
They allow you to gain the greatest benefit from net metering.
They allow for better solar battery utilization.

In the U.S., solar panels generate the most power when they face south. The sun’s path means that it shines above the Equator, or close to that point. Its path never moves north of the Tropic of Cancer (23.4°N Latitude). Anyone living in the mainland U.S. is located north of that line, and for them the sun remains in the southern half of the sky all year round. When you keep your solar panels facing south, they are essentially facing the sun all year long, allowing them to receive the most sunlight possible. South Is Best for Homes With Net Metering. If you’re in a location with net metering, the best direction for your solar panels is south. Solar panels that face south generate lots of power, with the bulk of it produced around midday. While household energy usage tends to be lowest around that time, you’ll be left with lots of excess solar power. When you have net metering, surplus power is a good thing, as you can export it to the grid in return for generous compensation from your utility.

77. Which direction is best with batteries?

South Is Best with Solar Batteries. South-facing panels are best if you plan to install a battery storage system such as the Tesla Powerwall or Sonnen Eco. The higher power output of south-facing panels means they can provide you with plenty of power to charge up your solar batteries, even after meeting your home’s daytime energy needs. The power stored in your solar battery will come in handy later, supplying your home with energy during the night and providing you with backup power in the event of a grid outage.

78. Which direction is best for TOU Rates?

South To Southwest Is Best for TOU Rates. Orienting your solar panels between south and southwest is best if your utility uses Time of Use (TOU) billing. Where TOU billing is in place, utilities charge higher rates for electricity at certain times, usually in the form of peak rates, from 4 PM onwards. Since utility power is so expensive later in the day under TOU, any solar power you can generate for yourself during those hours becomes more valuable. You can increase your solar power production in the afternoon and evenings by facing your solar panels southwest, allowing them to receive more light from the setting sun. The trade-off? Southwest-facing solar panels produce less solar power overall over the course of the day.

79. should you point your solar panels southwest if you have TOU billing rates?

Solar software designer Aurora Solar did a case study on the topic, and here’s what they found that where peak electricity rates are twice as much (2x) as off-peak rates, the ideal solar panel orientation is very close to the south and If peak rates are extremely high – 3x your off-peak rates, or more – then solar panels should face southwest. A solar installer can calculate the optimal orientation for solar panels on your roof based on TOU billing rates where you live.

Of course, we all must work with the roof that we have, and you may or may not be able to achieve your desired solar panel orientation. So, would a solar panel installation still be worth it for you? The easiest way to find out is with our solar calculator, which can estimate your solar panel costs and savings based on your roof direction and your utility’s TOU billing rates.

80. How Much Does Solar Panel Direction Impact Output?

In the U.S., orienting solar panels true south (azimuth of 180 degrees solar noon) will result in maximum output. Face them any other direction, and you can expect to see a fall in solar panel output. Solar panels see a drop in solar power production when you face them away from the true south. The size of the output drop will depend on where the solar panels are facing instead.

81. What will my panels produce if my panels are facing southwest or southeast

Solar panels installed on a roof facing southwest or southeast will generally produce about 8% less power than the same panels in the same climate on a south-facing roof.

82. What will my panels produce if my panels are facing East and West

Panels mounted on a standard pitch roof facing east or west will produce approximately 15% less output than panels facing south at the same pitch.

83. What will my panels produce if my panels are facing North?

Panels on a standard pitch roof facing north - that is, away from the sun - will produce roughly 30% less than panels facing south.

84. What’s the Impact of Direction on Solar Panel Output

Turning solar panels away from true south will generally result in output losses of less than 30%, but in some extreme cases losses of close to 60% may be seen. The precise drop in energy production is determined by three factors.

84. What are the determining factors for a drop in energy production from my solar panels?

The first factor is the distance from the south.

Meaning, the number of degrees the panels are turned away from true south. To state the obvious, the greater the turn away from the south, the bigger the loss in energy production. So, a turn to the southwest sees a small drop, turning west will see a moderate drop, and turning north will see the biggest drop.

The second factor is your latitude.

Meaning, how far north your home is located. When it comes to latitude, the further north you are, the bigger the fall in energy production when you turn away from south. All else equal, solar panels in Seattle, WA will see a much bigger output drop in non-south alignment than a home in Miami, FL.

The third factor is the pitch of your roof.

This determines how your solar panels will be angled towards the sun. The steeper your roof, the bigger the output drop you’ll experience by having your solar panels face away from the south. For instance, in Charlotte, NC a roof with a pitch of 2/12 (9.5*) would see a 16% loss by turning its solar panels from south to north; a roof in the same location with a steeper pitch – 4/12 (18.4) – would see a much larger drop of 29%.

85. What If Your Roof Doesn't Face South?

Barring a couple of exceptions outlined above, your rooftop solar energy system should ideally be facing south for maximum efficiency. Of course, this isn’t always possible: many homeowners don’t have roofs that face in that direction! The good news is that this is not a dealbreaker. There are plenty of homeowners without south-facing roofs, who have solar panels installed and are enjoying huge savings on their electric bills.

86. What are some workarounds for homeowners who don’t have south-facing roofs?

You can compensate for the decreased level of sunlight by installing more solar panels. In a solar panel installation, the solar panels themselves only account for a small proportion of costs; you should be able to add a few extra panels without pushing up costs too much.

This is the option that most homeowners choose when they don’t have a roof section that faces south. Install A Solar Array on The Ground.

87. Where do you install a ground solar array?

You can install a ground-mounted solar power system in your yard.

88. What’s the benefit of a ground mounted solar array?

Ground-mounted solar panels allow you to position them for optimal angle and direction, maximizing your solar power output. They are also easier to maintain, as you can brush off leaves or snow without having to climb onto your roof.

89. What’s the downside of a ground mounted solar array?

Ground-mounted systems tend to be more expensive than rooftop solar panels, and they also take up lots of space on your property.

90. What’s the benefit of a solar tracker?

Solar panel tracking systems can improve a system’s output by ensuring constant, direct exposure to the sun, both during the day and across seasons. Axis trackers generate more electricity by using about the same amount of space as fixed systems. However, it’s important to note that solar trackers are expensive. A standard 4 kW solar panel system costs you about $11,400 after incentives, but an equivalent axis-tracking system like the Smartflower costs about $20,000, or almost twice as much.

91. Can it actually power my entire house?

The answer to that is actually quite simple – yes, solar can indeed power your entire home. However, explaining exactly how solar energy can power your entire home is a little more complicated. The amount of sunlight that strikes the Earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's consumption for a full year. According to the United States Solar Technologies Office, “the amount of sunlight that strikes the Earth’s surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world’s consumption for a full year.” So, with the sun delivering an awe-inspiring amount of energy to the earth on an almost hourly basis, it stands to reason that solar energy can indeed power an entire house. Let’s take a deep dive into how exactly this happens and how you can make estimated solar calculations at home.

92. How Does Solar Energy Work?

The Simple answer is solar panels work by capturing particles of light (or photons). These photons break electrons free from their atoms, knocking them apart, and generate what we know of as the flow of electricity. Now, this statement may sound complicated to varying degrees based on how much science you remember from back in high school, but the main takeaway is that sunlight is converted to energy through a seemingly complex, but surprisingly, it’s a quite simple process which involves capturing the sun’s energy and turning into electricity. Once the energy is generated, it’s used to power devices, products, and homes.

93. How Can Solar Energy Power Your Whole House?

So, can a home solar system really power your entire house? As we’ve stated, yes! But it does depend on a few variables that you’ll want to take into consideration when deciding to go solar. Mostly, these variables are used to determine the power output levels and the number of solar panels that your home requires to meet your energy goals. In this case, we’ll explore the goal of running your whole house entirely on solar power. Every home is different, and every home will require a unique number of solar panels to effectively convert the sun’s energy into the energy you can use to power your home. The right installer will understand how to install your panels at the perfect angle, in the perfect spot, to maximize sun intake. Installing your solar panels in the perfect spot can make a big difference regarding energy.

HowStuffWorks.com explains perfectly how solar panels can power an entire house:

“As solar panels protrude from the precipice at various angles, they capture whatever sunlight is available, and convert it to DC power. An inverter converts the DC power to AC power (which is what we use to power electronic devices). And for people who want to completely power an entire home with the sun’s rays, there are systems available to convert and store extra power in the form of battery energy.”

94. What’s Your Home’s Monthly Energy Consumption Rate?

According to U.S. Energy Information Administration, “in 2019, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,649 kilowatt-hours (kWh), an average of about 877 kWh per month.” For the sake of simplicity, let’s round that number up to 900 kWh per month, and let’s assume that this number applies to most residential properties in the United States. If we divide 900 by 30, we can determine that most homes consume 30 kWh per day or 1.25 kWh per hour. However, it’s important to remember that this number does vary depending on your home’s size and the amount of household energy consumption activity. You may also find your home’s specific energy consumption rate listed on your monthly electricity bill. So, be sure to check that out before making your own calculations. Panels range in wattage capacities with conventional solar panels typically starting at around 250 watts per panel. Q-Cell Q. PEAK DUO BLK ML-G10+ 400-watt panels produce up to 400 watts per day per panel in peak conditions. Therefore, if we divide the energy needed to power the average home, 6,000 watts, by the 400 watts produced by each panel, we will determine that the average home requires at least 15 Q-Cell PEAK DUO panels to run entirely off of solar energy in peak conditions.

95. How Many Hours of Sunlight Does Your Home Receive?

After determining your household’s monthly energy consumption, you’ll also want to figure out how many hours of peak sunlight your home can expect to receive. Now, we understand that this number varies day-to-day, especially in Massachusetts, but making an educated estimate and then using the equation outlined below will allow you to determine a rough idea of the power required before consulting a professional solar installation company.

At THE RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT, BY TIER 1 SOLAR SOLUTIONS, we’ll use their comprehensive, yet straightforward equation to determine how many watts of power your home would need per day to run off solar power. Multiply your hourly usage by 1,000 to convert your hourly power generation to watts. Divide your average hourly wattage requirement by the number of daily peak sunlight hours for your area. This gives you the amount of energy your panels need to produce every hour. So, the average U.S. home (900 kWh/month) in an area that gets five peak sunlight hours per day would need 6,000 watts

96. What Type and How Many Solar Panels Does my Home Need?

Depending on the maker, solar panels come in all different shapes, sizes, build qualities, and power outputs. You’ll want to speak in-depth with a professional solar system installation consultant to determine the best and most efficient solar panels for your home. However, for today’s article, we’ll use Q-Cell Q.PEAK DUO BLK ML-G10+ 400 watt as our example. While these numbers can give you a handy pen-and-paper estimate on what your home requires to run entirely off solar power, it’s necessary to consult with a professional solar installation expert. With many specific variables to consider (such as roof condition and angle, nearby shading, daily sun exposure, home size, etc.), you’ll want to ensure that professionals determine the most accurate data. From here, you can decide whether or not solar power is suitable for your home so you can Enjoy all the benefits of a solar energy system while reducing your carbon footprint on the planet. Solar energy can power your entire home, as long as the Right Company is working with you to install your panels.

97. What Is Solar Panel Efficiency?

Solar companies use solar efficiency to measure solar panels’ ability to convert sunlight into usable electricity. Efficiency ratings are expressed as a percentage to help you quickly compare the performance of different solar panels. A solar panel’s solar cell composition, roof location, and design affect its overall efficiency.

For example,

If a solar panel has a 25% efficiency rate, 25% of the sun’s energy it captures is converted into usable electricity. If you consider the same amount of sunlight over the same duration of time with another panel, you can determine which panel is a better value for your home’s power output. Though you might think you should just opt for panels with the highest efficiency rate available, lower-efficiency solar panels may be better if your home doesn’t require a lot of energy output or if you’re trying to solar-power a smaller structure, such as a pool house.

98. Type of Solar Panel is most Efficient?

The efficiency rate depends mainly on the type of solar panel you use. Monocrystalline solar panels are currently the most efficient and cost-effective option for a solar energy system and the type of solar panel companies most commonly offer. However, polycrystalline or thin-film solar panels may be a better fit for your home if you have more roof space or require limited energy for your solar project. We’ve broken down the pros and cons of different types of solar panels below.

Monocrystalline

Pros

Features an average efficiency of 15% to 25%
Has the longest average lifespan of 35+ years
Yields the highest efficiency rates, so it requires the least amount of roof space.

Cons

Tends to have a higher up-front cost than other types of solar panels.
Sometimes experiences a decrease in efficiency in colder climates.

Polycrystalline

Pros

Features an average efficiency of 11% to 17%
Tends to cost less than monocrystalline solar panels.
Has an average lifespan of 25 to 35 years.

Cons

Has a lower power output than monocrystalline, so it requires more roof space.
Is less heat-tolerant than monocrystalline panels.
Features a noticeable blue color instead of the low-key black monocrystalline panels.

Thin-Film

Pros

Features an average efficiency of 10% to 20%
Tends to be the least expensive option.
Features a high heat tolerance compared to both monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels.

Cons

Efficiency ratings vary significantly according to the type of material used in the panel.
Less durable than other types of panels
Requires the most amount of roof space to perform well.

99. What Factors Impact Solar Panel Efficiency?

Several other factors impact efficiency beyond the type of solar panel you use. We’ve listed some of the most significant ones to look out for below.

Solar Cell Type

A solar cell is a small electrical device that converts sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic (PV) effect. Most solar cell technology is made from small components called crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers. Single crystals are used to create monocrystalline silicon solar panels. Multiple crystals are used for polycrystalline panels. When ordered correctly, solar cells from a single crystal are more efficient than those pieced together from multiple crystals. Thin-film solar panels use cells made from amorphous silicon (a-Si). The atoms of these cells are randomly arranged rather than being in an ordered crystalline structure. As a result, they’re less efficient.

Wiring

It may seem obvious, but improper wiring can significantly impact the efficiency of your solar panel system. Different solar modules may have slightly different electrical and wiring components. A mismatch during installation can lead to performance loss. The same issue can occur if inverters between solar panels are mismatched. For example, you might buy various monocrystalline panels, but the design of each panel may cause a dip in efficiency if they’re not designed to work together. Therefore, it’s always best to get solar panels and inverters from the same manufacturer.

Backing

Solar panel backing determines how much sunlight is reflected instead of converted to electricity. The less sunlight a panel reflects, the more efficient it is. Many companies add anti-reflective coatings to increase efficiency.

100. What Environmental Factors Impact Solar Panel Efficiency?

Many environmental factors influence the efficiency of a solar power system. A solar installer will consider these factors when calculating your quote and possible savings. Read about the most significant environmental factors that affect the performance of your system below.

Temperature

As with electronics, high temperatures hurt a panel’s performance. Typically, solar panels have peak efficiency between 59 degrees Fahrenheit and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The standard test conditions for panels are 77 degrees Fahrenheit. If your solar panels get hotter than 130 degrees Fahrenheit, you may experience a dip in performance.

Shading

Obstructions such as trees, hills, and other buildings may produce shade on parts of your roof at certain times of the day. How much this affects solar panel power output depends on how long and how frequently the shading occurs and the size of the shadow.

Soiling

Soiling refers to the accumulation of debris, such as dust or snow, on the surface of your solar panels. Though small, this debris blocks light from reaching the solar cells inside your panels, causing inefficiency. Soiling can also change the angle at which sunlight hits your panels, causing the light to spread unevenly. Consider how likely your panels are to experience soiling from dust, sand, or snow to determine how often you might need to clean your solar system.

Weather

Weather and climate play a critical role in the performance of your solar energy system. Regions that are overcast and have more rain and storms are less suited for solar power than regions with clear skies and plenty of sunshine. According to the World Population Review, the states with the most sunshine are (in order):

Arizona
New Mexico
Nevada
Texas
California
Colorado
Oklahoma
Kansas
Utah
Florida

Orientation and Angle

The angle of your rooftop and the direction it faces are crucial to determining how optimized your home is for solar power. A south-facing roof is best for solar panels. West and east-facing rooftops also work well but won’t be as efficient as a south-facing roof. North-facing roofs are often denied for solar panel installation due to their inefficiency.

Additionally, a 30-degree angle is best for year-round solar production. Many solar companies will consider an installation if your roof is anywhere between 15 to 40 degrees, but 30 degrees offers peak performance.

101. Why does Solar Panel Efficiency Matters

Though you can receive clean energy from solar panels that run with low efficiency, building a solar energy system that operates at a higher efficiency leads to a better return on your investment. Below are a couple of significant reasons you should consider optimizing your solar power system for peak performance.

Faster Payback

The more energy your solar panels generate, the more savings you receive. Solar panels pay for themselves within six to 10 years on average. However, if your panels operate at peak efficiency, you may be able to close that gap faster.

102. How does space efficiency affect the Impact of Project?

The solar panel installation process also affects your overall efficiency and cost. The more efficient your panels are, the less of them you’ll need to reach your targeted power output. Fewer panels also mean less crowding and more space on your roof. So, while monocrystalline panels are more expensive, their higher efficiency rate means you can cut down on the costs of installation labor and materials compared to buying cheaper polycrystalline solar panels that are less efficient.

103. What’s the Cost of Efficient Solar Panels?

Various factors influence how much you will pay for solar panels. According to the Center for Sustainable Energy, the average cost for solar panel installation is currently around $3 to $5 per watt. The installation of an average 5-kilowatt (kW) residential system costs around $15,000 to $25,000 before tax incentives. Read on to learn about other factors that can impact the cost of your solar panel system.

Household electrical demand: The amount of electricity your household uses every month determines how many solar panels you need. Homes with predominantly gas appliances will use less than those using primarily electric appliances.

104. What effects the cost of solar panel system?

Monocrystalline panels tend to cost more than polycrystalline panels because they’re more efficient. You’ll need the higher efficiency option if you have limited roof space.

Size of the panel:

A large solar power system is more expensive because it requires more labor and equipment. However, despite the higher up-front cost, large solar power systems lead to more significant savings over time.

Solar panel installation cost:

The price of installation differs from place to place, which can have an impact on the overall cost. Different solar providers and installers charge varying amounts for their labor. You’ll be provided with more details about the cost when you reach out to a top solar company for a quote.

Tax incentives:

The federal solar tax credit is known as ITC. The federal tax credit value is set at 30% until 2032. However, this value will decrease to 26% in 2033. Additional solar tax incentives vary according to state. To determine what incentives you might qualify for, we encourage you to utilize the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency.

Purchasing options:

Customers can often choose between paying up-front or using solar leases or loans. Paying for your system up-front is the most cost-effective option because you receive access to tax incentives and avoid additional expenses from interest rates. Solar loans are also great because you still receive access to tax incentives. A solar lease is appealing because there’s little to no up-front cost. However, you can’t take advantage of any tax incentives.

105. How do I choose the type of Solar Panels

Before you get a quote on your efficient solar panels, you should understand what common considerations you and your installer will make when picking the right panels for your home, such as number of panels and location.

Though it’s essential to consider solar panel efficiency when purchasing solar panels, it’s not the be-all and end-all. Various other factors determine which solar panel is best for your home, including size, efficiency, color, smart-home integration, and more.

We suggest you take your time to consider which solar panel best fits your primary concerns and needs. We also recommend obtaining at least three quotes from three solar installers to compare panel options, services offered, and which solar panel manufacturers they use.

Q. What does “No Net cost” Mean?

A. The term "no net cost" refers to a situation where the total cost of something is offset by savings, income, or rebates, resulting in no effective expense to the user or purchaser over a specified period. This concept is often used in the context of energy efficiency, renewable energy projects, and various financial or investment models.

In the case of energy efficiency or renewable energy installations (like solar panels), "no net cost" can mean that the initial investment required for the installation is balanced out by the savings on energy bills over time. Here's how it might work:

· Initial Investment: The upfront cost of installing solar panels or implementing energy-efficient measures can be significant.

· Savings Over Time: These installations lead to reduced energy bills. For solar panels, the electricity generated can offset the amount you need to buy from the grid.

· Incentives and Rebates: Governments and utilities often offer tax incentives, rebates, or credits for renewable energy installations and energy efficiency improvements, further reducing the effective cost.

· Net Metering: For solar energy systems, net metering policies allow owners to sell excess electricity back to the grid, creating an additional financial benefit.

When the savings and income over time equal or exceed the initial cost (including maintenance and operational expenses), the net cost can be considered zero. This doesn't mean there's no upfront cost, but rather that the investment pays for itself over a period, making it cost-neutral or even profitable in the long term.

In broader financial or business terms, "no net cost" can apply to any scenario where expenses are fully offset by savings or income, not just in energy projects. This concept is appealing in many contexts as it suggests a financially prudent or risk-free investment.
