Commercial solar energy, also known as photovoltaic (PV) energy, uses solar panels and systems to produce electricity for commercial, industrial, or municipal purposes. Commercial solar systems are designed based on the energy needs and/or available space for installing PV panels.
While some businesses may have rooftops with extensive sun exposure, others may have limitations, making it less profitable to cover the entire roof with solar panels. In such cases, some commercial solar solutions use parking lot space by building parking canopies, while others may take advantage of extra land they own near or at their business location.
The implementation of commercial solar energy systems provides a range of advantages that go beyond environmental benefits, offering significant economic and operational rewards. Below, we highlight the main benefits businesses can take advantage of by incorporating solar power into their operations:
