Commercial solar
What is commercial solar?
Commercial solar is solar energy generation intended for all types of business settings as opposed to more familiar usage in residential settings. As an industry itself, it sits between residential and utility-scale solar sectors and is also known as C&I or ‘Commercial and industrial-scale solar’ which covers a vast range of customers from governments, and large businesses to agribusiness, schools and small to mid-size enterprises. As business owners look to create greater operational efficiencies, reduce environmental impact, and make cost savings, solar energy provides a clean, reliable renewable energy source and an effective way of introducing energy-saving solar innovation in commercial spaces.
You care about your business and the environment and are committed to cutting your CO 2 emissions while securing your business and commercial projects for the future. Whether you are enabling businesses, farms, schools, or community buildings to become more energy efficient, we all face the challenge of unpredictable, rising energy costs and are discovering the real savings and independence the latest solar PV technologies can deliver. Choosing the right panels for your commercial project by investing in the right solutions today means you will benefit long into the future as you lower operating costs and see greater returns for your business and your customers.

How solar panels are used in commercial settings to minimise environmental impact and maximise energy-savings.
Multiple commercial-grade photovoltaic (PV) panels can be installed together forming a solar array or a collection of connected solar panels. Suitable for rooftops on a wide range of commercial spaces such as schools, agricultural buildings, business premises and carports, where typically sunlight exposure is optimal, but they can also be installed on large areas of land. A Strategic solar scheme design will utilise the available project space to ensure maximum solar energy production.
It is important that high-quality, robust solar modules such as Solarwatt panels are installed as they deliver high yields and are built to last as long as the roofs you put them on. They are panels that offer protection against mechanical stress and environmental influence with industry leading warranties – delivering reliable, long-lasting performance for your business.
