Choosing the Right Commercial Solar Power System

Selecting a suitable commercial solar solution requires a thorough evaluation of various factors including the solar system's size, installation costs, energy requirements, and the brand of solar panels. It's crucial to collaborate with reliable and seasoned commercial solar installers to secure optimal solar solutions that align with specific business requisites.


When it comes to solar panels, businesses should prioritize brands that epitomize quality and durability. We recommend opting for solar panels that come with a warranty period of at least 25 years, as they exhibit a longer lifespan and necessitate lesser maintenance. Moreover, power optimisers can be provided to enhance solar power generation efficiency.

System Size and Installation Locations

Commercial solar systems are designed in various configurations to suit different spatial and energy requirements. The sizing of the solar system is driven by several factors including the energy consumption pattern of the business, available installation space, and budget constraints. The positioning of solar installations can be done on rooftops, parking lots, or open fields depending on the availability of space and the sun exposure of the site.

  • Energy Needs Assessment

    Conducting an energy audit is a preliminary step in determining the appropriate size of a solar system. The audit evaluates the energy consumption patterns and identifies the electricity needs of the business.

  • Space Evaluation

    Assessing the available space for solar panel installation is crucial. Rooftops are commonly used, however, parking lots and open fields are also viable options if they receive adequate sunlight. The space should be free from shading and obstructions to ensure maximum sunlight exposure.

  • System Sizing

    Large-scale solar systems are suitable for businesses with high energy demands. They provide a substantial amount of electricity, helping to significantly reduce energy costs. Smaller solar systems may suffice for businesses with lower energy consumption. They are also a more budget-friendly option, offering a good balance between cost and energy output.

Understanding Installation Costs

The financial aspect of transitioning to solar energy is a significant consideration. While the upfront cost can be considerable, various financial incentives and models can help offset the initial investment.

Initial Investment

The cost of a commercial solar installation encompasses the price of solar panels, inverters, mounting structures, and other associated equipment. Additionally, installation labor and permitting fees contribute to the total cost.

Government Incentives

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a form of government incentive that provides a rebate for the installation of solar systems up to 100kW. The rebate amount is determined by the size of the solar system and the region in which it is installed.


Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are financial models that allow businesses to purchase solar energy at a fixed rate over an extended period, often at a lower rate than the grid electricity price.
