The Right Size for Your Needs
Every business is different, that’s why we design customized systems to meet you and your tenant’s needs.
We will not over- or undersell you! Meeting with one of our solar energy consultants will help you determine if your commercial property is right for solar, and how much energy production your business will need.

Escape Instant Demand
Since adding solar panels is a permanent decision, it’s important that you own the structure your panels will be installed on. Your property does not need to be completely paid off (mortgages are okay), but you do need to be the owner of record.

Are you looking for ways to cut costs for your business or commercial property? The instant demand charges assessed by the power company limits your ability to lower your electric bill.
Solar panels produce the most energy when they have constant, consistent exposure to the sun, and facing south will give them just that. If your roof has a large southern-facing expanse, it is ideal for solar production.
But what happens if your peak demand is still more than the cutoff?
Again, the key to solar production is exposure to the sun. If your property has large trees near your house that shade your rooftop, solar panels would not be able to produce enough energy to make them worthwhile. If your roof is not shaded during the day, solar panels would be a great option.
