Commercial Solar

Smart Energy for Your Business

Explore system fit, utility billing, project costs, and potential incentives for your commercial property.

Evaluating Commercial Solar

Whether commercial solar is financially suitable depends on project cost, energy use, utility billing, any proposed payment terms, equipment, and eligibility for any current incentives or depreciation. Have a qualified tax professional review tax treatment before relying on it.

System size and scope depend on the building, energy use, site conditions, and utility requirements. Contact One Truss to confirm whether your project fits its current scope.

Commercial Solar FAQ

What is the ROI on commercial solar?

Payback depends on your usage profile, rate schedule, project cost, any proposed payment terms, and applicable incentives. A site-specific analysis is needed before estimating returns.

Can solar handle my business's energy needs?

The share of electricity a system can produce depends on energy use, available site area, system design, utility requirements, and operating conditions. Request a site-specific production estimate with its assumptions.

Will installation disrupt my business?

The work plan and any effect on operations depend on the building, electrical work, utility requirements, and schedule. Share site and operating constraints when requesting an assessment.

What warranties come with commercial solar?

Warranty coverage and duration vary by equipment and written workmanship terms. Review the proposed manufacturer documents, exclusions, and any maintenance or service terms before signing.
