On-site renewable energy generation
On-site renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, is a way to power your buildings while reducing your company’s reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Many major companies, educational institutions, and governmental facilities now use on-site renewable energy.
See the Energy section of this guide for case studies, tax incentives and more information about on-site renewable energy.
