Private enterprises install photovoltaic panels

Can a business install solar panels on a roof?

Commercial solar systems are specifically designed based on a business’s energy consumption and/or available space to install PV panels. While some businesses might have rooftops with much sun exposure, others could be limited and it may not be profitable to install solar panels on the entire roof.

Should you hire a solar installer?

Solar is a growing industry that attracts contractors from many backgrounds—sometimes only loosely related to solar. But to feel confident in your solar panels, you'll want to work with an installer that has plenty of experience in custom designing systems.

Are solar panels a good investment for your business?

Visualized as a multi-decade investment in a business’s bottom line, solar installations can help stabilize electricity expenses with more predictable cash flows than external energy purchased at variously billed rates.

Do commercial contractors offer solar power?

Solar power is still an emerging energy source. Some commercial contractors do offer their services in all 50 states, while some focus on particular regions of the country. The variety of options you will have may very well depend on the region where your commercial enterprise is located.

What if a solar company doesn't meet the approved criteria?

If a solar company doesn't meet the Approved criteria, they aren't allowed to join our Marketplace. Elite+ installers are the most experienced, chosen, and celebrated companies on the Marketplace, having provided exceptional service to a high volume of shoppers for at least a year.

What certifications do solar installers need?

The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) offers an industry-leading certification program, while the PV Installation Professional (PVIP) Board Certification is the gold standard for solar installers. Certification isn't a firm requirement for EnergySage installers, but it's highly recommended.
