Benefits Of Solar Panels For Businesses
Experts agree solar panels are a good long-term investment for businesses with benefits that last for decades.
What Businesses Are Best Suited For Commercial Solar Installation?
Businesses that gain the most from solar panel installation in Florida are those that meet the following criteria:
- Own the building or property
- The building's roof is in good condition
- Consume more electricity during the day
- Have a passthrough ownership structure with significant tax liability
Some examples of businesses in Florida that are a good fit for solar panels include auto dealerships, schools or educational facilities, daycares, storage facilities, medical offices, multi-family or assisted living facilities, office buildings, and retail shopping centers.
Commercial solar panels may not make sense for businesses with a shaded roof or that operate in a building requiring significant electrical upgrades.
Commercial solar panel financing is available, although a down payment is usually required for large-scale projects. Businesses without funding, existing capital, or good credit may not be a good fit for solar panels.
Energy costs are one of the highest recurring bills a business has. Take control of your energy costs now with a commercial solar power solution.
If you own the property your business operates in, installing commercial solar panels can significantly improve property value and help you qualify for additional tax breaks.
Commercial solar panels qualify for the solar tax credit and can lower tax liability even more through accelerated depreciation.
Accelerated depreciation allows businesses to deduct up to 85% of the value of the solar asset from their taxes, providing another significant offset to the upfront cost of a system.
Energy and utility costs are rising and are likely to never decrease. Installing commercial solar panels can save you money now and in the future.
Consumers today prefer to do business with environmentally conscious businesses. Powering your business with solar can open up additional marketing opportunities and is one of the quickest paths to achieving LEED Certification.
We offer lifetime solar panel warranties on parts and labor for all projects. We will be here to help you now and in the future.
How Much Do Commercial Solar Installation Services Cost?

How To Get Solar Panels For Your Business
The installation process for commercial solar panels is very similar to residential solar projects and follows all the same steps. The only difference is the time between each step. Due to the size of most commercial solar projects, the design and permitting process can be longer.

How To Choose A Commercial Solar Installer In Florida
Almost all business solar installations are grid-tied – meaning they do not rely on energy storage through batteries or generators. Properly designing a commercial energy system to meet day-to-day energy needs and generate energy credits requires a tremendous amount of knowledge.
Before getting a quote to install solar panels, make sure you are working with a solar energy company with the experience needed to make your project a success.

Commercial Solar Installation FAQs
Florida business owners may qualify for additional savings when installing commercial solar panels, but the grants vary by area and business size. One to check is the USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). This program will provide a grant for up to 25% of solar project costs if you’re in a rural area. Review eligibility requirements HERE.
Installation timelines vary based on the size of the project and how many solar panels are installed. Most projects can be completed in as little as a few days once city permits are obtained, and the utility company approves the design.
The solar tax credit can be claimed by Florida business owners and will cut costs by 30%. As with residential projects, the business must have a large enough tax liability to get the deduction.
Once commercial solar panels are installed, energy performance can be monitored through an easy-to-use app. You can set notifications and get daily updates, statistics, and real-time power output.
Commercial solar panels require little to no maintenance. In most cases, a one-yearly cleaning is all that is needed.
