COMMON SOLAR QUESTIONS
A few starting points for businesses exploring commercial solar.
How does a commercial solar project begin?
Projects typically begin with an assessment of the facility, electricity usage, property and project goals.
Can solar work for large industrial facilities?
Solar can be evaluated for many different facility types and sizes. The appropriate system depends on the property’s characteristics and energy requirements.
What is battery energy storage?
Battery storage allows electricity to be stored and used later, depending on the system design and operating strategy.
How long does a solar project take?
Project timelines vary depending on system size, engineering, permitting, interconnection and construction requirements.
Can solar be installed on an existing building?
In many cases, existing commercial buildings can be evaluated for rooftop solar based on structural, electrical and site considerations.
How do I find out if solar is right for my business?
The best starting point is a project assessment based on your facility, energy usage and business objectives.
