Commercial Solar
Commercial Solar refers to larger systems for businesses, factories, schools, or large properties. Commercial Solar can be installed on roofs, ground-mounted areas, or in larger solar farms.
What Install Is The Best Fit For You?
Ground Mounted
This method can potentially produce more energy since the panels can be installed with a fixed optimal tilt to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day.
Community Solar Farm
These installations allow multiple customers, businesses, or organizations to benefit from solar generated electricity without having to install solar panels on their own property.
Solar Parking Canopies
These structures combine solar arrays with covered parking, providing shade and generating renewable energy at the same time.
Rooftop Installation
This type of installation involves various Solar panels on large commercial buildings. They often have flat or low sloped roofing meaning solar is installed to prioritizing durability and energy efficiency toward the sun.
The Benefits Of Commercial Solar
Switching to commercial solar panels offers significant financial benefits for your business by reducing or completely covering electricity bills while also protecting businesses from rising power prices or decades.
Solar increases property value by making your building more energy efficient and cost effective.
With lower electricity bills and protection from rising energy costs, the property becomes more attractive to buyers and tenants.
Additionally, solar equipped properties often sell for higher prices and faster than those without solar, making them a valuable long-term investment.
By investing in a long term commitment to lowering operation costs using solar you can get government and state rebates and incentives in Minnesota!
Some of the great perks of going solar include no sales tax on your installation and solar is exempt from property tax assessments, meaning it adds property value without added property tax!

Compared to traditional energy methods, solar is low maintenance.
The main upkeep involves cleaning the panels only if there is dirt, debris, or heavy snowfall blocking production, although this is uncommon for Minnesota because of our changing seasons.
In the winter snow typically melts from solar panels within the first 1-2 hours of sunlight in the morning. In the spring and summer months rain washes away dirt and debris on a regular basis.
Routine inspections of the inverter, wiring, and mounting system are also recommended to detect any issues early.
However most systems include remote monitoring, allowing businesses to track performance and identify problems quickly.
