Commercial Solar Installation
Our expertise helps organizations—from businesses and schools to government agencies—convert rooftops and open spaces into efficient, cost-saving renewable energy systems
Why Businesses Are Making the Switch to Solar?
Business owners often face high, unpredictable electricity rates that cut directly into their profits. By generating your own clean power, you can take control of one of your biggest operating expenses.
Own Your Power: Business owners understand it is better to own versus rent—especially over the long run.
Increase Property Value: Solar PV systems can add significant resale value to your commercial property.
Earn a Strong ROI: Solar energy systems provide a safe and solid return on your investment with upside potential.
Make an Environmental Statement: Show your clients and community your commitment to sustainability.
Market Your Brand: A solar display in your lobby or a “Going Solar” announcement on your website is a powerful marketing tool.
Achieve Energy Independence: Reduce our country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
Benefit from Major Incentives: Qualified businesses may be eligible for a 30% Federal Tax Credit, accelerated depreciation, and other grant programs that can cover a significant portion of the total cost.

* These values are for a typical solar electric system installation performing at 93% site efficiency. Price includes equipment, installation, permits, and a web-based monitoring system. Electricity prices are based on typical commercial utility rates.
