FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Commercial Solar FAQs

What types of businesses benefit most from commercial solar?

Businesses with significant daytime electricity usage, ample roof or property space, and plans to remain in their current location typically see the best returns. This includes retailers, offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, wineries, and agricultural operations.

How are commercial solar systems different from residential?

Commercial systems are typically larger, may use different equipment optimized for commercial settings, and often include more sophisticated monitoring. Commercial systems also benefit from different rate structures and incentive programs.

What financing options are available for commercial solar?

We offer several options including commercial solar loans, leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and PACE financing. Many businesses choose cash purchase to maximize tax benefits.

Will solar installation disrupt my business operations?

We schedule installations to minimize disruption, often working weekends or off-hours. Most installations are completed within 1-2 weeks, with actual electrical connections requiring only brief planned outages.

How much roof space is required for commercial solar?

Solar Energy refers to the energy obtained from the sun through the use of photovoltaic cells or solar panels.

Can you install ground-mounted systems for businesses?

Absolutely. If your business has available land, ground-mounted systems can be an excellent option, especially for agricultural businesses or properties with limited roof space.

What happens if we relocate our business?

Solar systems typically add value to your property. If you own the building, the new owner will often pay a premium for a property with reduced operating costs. If you lease your space, we can help you negotiate terms with your landlord.

How do I know if my roof can support solar panels?

We perform structural assessments as part of our design process. Most commercial buildings can support solar with minimal or no structural modifications. Flat roofs often require no penetrations, using ballasted mounting systems instead.
