By switching to solar you can immediately lower or eliminate your electricity costs, improving your margins and bottom line.
Commercial Solar is eligible for a variety of federal, state and local incentives. When added up, these incentives can potentially cover 45-80% of your overall system cost.
Businesses can deduct 85% of the value of the solar asset from their taxes, providing another significant offset to the upfront cost of a system array.
Commercial solar systems are those which provide power for commercial buildings and applications such as remote traffic controls, telecommunications, oil and gas industries, and municipal facilities.
Each large-watt solar panel is matched with a grid-tie inverter, which converts DC power from the panels to AC power. These inverters range in power levels to serve various types of commercial applications. Power moves from the inverter to the electrical service panel, which is located at the breaker box, and then distributed to electrical loads throughout the building.
One of the benefits of a commercial solar system is the opportunity to gain credit with your utility company. When excess power produced by commercial solar panels flows into the grid through the electric meter, it causes the meter to run backwards, giving you a credit.
Commercial solar power is a smart investment for your business. It can produce a valuable ROI, lead to more predictable and stable energy costs, and establish your business as a leader in green energy. To learn more about commercial solar panels and systems, check out our commercial solar FAQs.

Check out your local, state, and federal incentives for commercial and renewable energy applications.
The same principles apply, although with few exceptions, commercial applications are grid-intertied, whereas many residential solar electric systems are off-grid, or totally independent of utility-generated electric power. Commercial solar gridtie inverters matched with arrays of larger wattage solar panels (the same ones that work for residential solar power systems) provide power for all sorts of commercial applications, from remote traffic controls and telecommunications, to oil and gas industry applications, to solar electric systems for large municipal, school and government facilities.
