TYPES OF Commercial SOLAR

POPULAR SOLAR SOLUTIONS

ROOF MOUNT

Roof mounted solar systems are most common in urban areas where space is limited. By minimizing components that are required, they are typically the most affordable option available.

GROUND MOUNT

Ground mounted systems are ideal for rural areas where space is available. Rather than rely on the existing direction and slope of your roof, they allow for optimal position which maximizes production.

GRID TIED

Grid tied systems are the most traditional connection method. They allow users to sell the excess energy that they produce to the utility company, then buy it back when they need it. For most people, this is the best solution.

OFF-GRID

Off-grid systems are best utilized in remote areas where access to power is limited. They are typically more expensive than grid tied systems, as they require battery storage, but offer complete energy independence.

SOLAR QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For most people, solar provides a financial benefit over the life of the system. How much benefit is determined by your energy usage and electricity rates. To understand what type of return on your investment you may get, contact us for a free energy evaluation.

The cost of your solar system depends on the amount energy that you need it to produce, where its located on your property and how you connect it. A typical 10kW, roof-mounted and grid-tied system costs about $30,000 on average.

By investing in solar energy, the government allows you to deduct a percentage of the system’s total cost when you file your taxes. This lowers your tax obligation, saving you money. 

In most cases, yes. For traditional grid tied systems, you sell some or all of the power you produce directly to the utility company, then buy it back when you need it. Most utility providers also charge a small transmission fee for the use of their infrastructure. 

We can help those requiring financing in a variety of ways, by connecting them to traditional lending options, or by offering in-house leasing options.

Depending on the system you install, the typical maintenance that is required is minimal. But for the few things that are needed, we offer an extended maintenance plan so you don’t have to worry about it!

In most cases, yes, but not always. We take a practical approach to our energy consultation and tell you if we think solar is a good investment for you.
