Commercial Solar FAQ
Straight Answers About Commercial Solar
Commercial solar depends on the site, the utility data, and how the business uses power. These answers cover the questions property owners and managers ask most before an assessment.
Is my commercial property a good fit for solar?
It's likely a good fit if you have unshaded roof space or parking area, enough electrical capacity, and steady electricity use. How the property operates matters too, and parking areas can work if a carport or canopy makes sense for the site.
How do you size a commercial solar system?
We start with your utility data, including how much electricity the property uses and when. Then we compare that with usable roof or parking area, shade, and electrical capacity to find a system size that makes practical sense.
Can solar be installed on a flat commercial roof?
Often, yes. Many flat commercial roofs can support solar with the right layout and attachment method. We check the roof condition, available area, equipment clearances, and access paths before recommending a design. If the roof will need replacing soon, it is usually best to plan that work first.
Will the installation disrupt my business?
It shouldn't stop your business. We plan the schedule, work areas, and any required electrical shutdowns with your team in advance. On the A&I project in Van Nuys, the business kept operating throughout the installation.
Do commercial solar projects require utility approval?
Yes. Most grid-connected commercial solar projects require permitting, inspection, and utility interconnection. The exact process depends on the property location and utility territory.
Can Soloro work with LADWP and SCE properties?
Yes. Soloro serves businesses across Los Angeles and Southern California in both LADWP and SCE territory.
Can I add battery storage or EV charging later?
Yes. If storage or EV charging may be part of your plans, we can account for equipment space and electrical capacity in the original design so they are easier to add later.
What if my business leases the building?
You can still go solar with the property owner's approval. Tenants are welcome to start an assessment, but because the system is installed on the property, the owner or an authorized representative must approve the project, so it helps to involve them early.
What should I prepare before a business solar assessment?
Helpful details include the property address, recent utility usage, roof or parking area information, electrical plans if available, and any goals for EV charging or backup power.
Commercial Solar Costs
Understand the Cost Before You Commit
-
Start With Your Utility Data
Your utility bills show how much electricity the property uses and when. That usage is the starting point for system size and cost.
-
See What Drives the Price
System size, roof or parking layout, electrical work, and interconnection requirements all shape the final price. Your proposal should make those costs clear.
-
Compare Ways to Pay
Review purchase and financing options side by side, along with incentives that may apply to your project.
