Benefits of DC Wiring for Property Developers

Benefits of DC Wiring for Property Developers

DC electrical wiring offers greater efficiency for long-distance power transmission with minimal energy loss compared to AC systems. It also provides simpler control for devices like batteries, solar panels, and electric vehicles, making it ideal for renewable energy and low-voltage applications.

Easier Backup Power Options
Powering an entire building on backup batteries is highly expensive. However, with selective DC wiring, we can reduce this cost significantly meaning your tenants can stay online even when the power goes out at little cost to you.

Investment Tax Credits (ITC)
MDU developments can qualify for the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), helping offset upfront costs of renewable energy systems and boosting long-term profitability.

Extended Lifespan of Lighting Fixtures
LED fixtures last 2.5 times longer when powered by DC because it eliminates the rapid deterioration of AC-to-DC conversion drivers. This reduces maintenance costs.

Centralized Maintenance
DC systems move failure points (like drivers) from hard-to-reach locations (e.g., ceilings) to centralized panels, making maintenance easier and more cost-effective.

Efficient Power Distribution
Technologies like Class 4 power enable DC to travel long distances on small wires, providing a safe and efficient way to power large facilities.

Reliable EV Charging Options w/Income Potential
Looking to add electric vehicle charging to your property? Benefit from a reliable, adaptable setup that ensures your chargers stay operational while creating an additional revenue stream for your property.

Smart Tech Ready— Now and in the Future
DC wiring enhances smart tech performance and simplifies future upgrades—like adding devices, security systems, EV chargers, or energy storage—without costly rewiring.
