Return on Investment (ROI)

Commercial solar systems typically pay for themselves in as little as 5 to 8 years. Over the 25-year-plus lifespan of a solar system, the ROI can be substantial.

Stabilizing Power Costs

Electricity rates have historically risen year over year, but with solar, you can lock in a significant portion of your energy costs. This protects your business from the near guarantee of rising utility rates and provides long-term forecasting predictability.

State and Federal Solar Incentives

Business owners can take advantage of the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) as well as other state-specific incentives to reduce the up-front investment of their solar system even further. For more information on state-specific incentives, click here.

New Roof Opportunities

If your building already needs a new roof, it's the perfect time to go solar. Commercial clients often combine a roof replacement with solar installation to maximize efficiency and take advantage of potential tax incentives on both.

How much can I expect to save?

Exact savings generated by a commercial solar system depend on your electricity usage, system size, and roof conditions. Click on a few of our completed projects below to read more about how Greentech Renewables has helped businesses save on energy costs by installing customized solar systems. 

The systems depicted below offset between 30% and 65% of the yearly electricity costs. These savings grow over time as utility rates rise and your solar system continues to generate free electricity.

What type of solar system do I need?

The right system for your business depends on your facility, production goals, and budget. Common types include:

Rooftop Commercial Solar System
  • Rooftop Solar Systems: Ideal for buildings with large, unobstructed roof space. These are the most popular and cost-effective options for many commercial properties.
  • Ground-Mounted Systems: Suitable for businesses with excess available land. These systems can be sized for optimal performance and are easy to access for maintenance.
  • Carport Systems and EV chargers: Dual-purpose structures that provide covered parking while generating clean energy. The produced energy can be used for offsetting your building's energy costs or for charging electric vehicles. Great for maximizing the business's land.
  • Battery Storage Add-ons: While not always necessary, batteries can store excess power for use during peak demand periods or outages, adding resilience and reducing peak utility charges.

The installation team we assign to you will conduct a site evaluation and financial analysis to recommend the best system based on your facility’s needs.
