Commercial establishments who continuously burn a massive amount of electricity can benefit both monetarily and in terms of CSR by employing alternative sources to meet their energy demands. Solar technology is one of the most readily available methods that can be used and installed anywhere to supplement the already available electrical connection and give some respite to business owners.
