Photovoltaic Solutions for Commercial Buildings
Harness the power of the sun and turn your commercial building's roof into a cost-saving energy solution. Join in on this rapidly growing trend with innovative photovoltaic systems that help to offset expensive electric bills!
What is Photovoltaic?
Photovoltaic (PV) devices are made of materials called semiconductors that allow them to generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. Solar energy releases electrons in these substances, allowing them to travel through an electrical circuit and produce a small current.
This process requires no fuels and is considered "free" electricity. Photovoltaic solar panels or commercial solar panels consist of groups of silicon wafer semiconductors connected together to generate enough electricity to meet the facility's needs. These panels are arranged in arrays so the wattage produced is used to run equipment and other devices.
Benefits of Solar for Commercial Buildings
Minimize your facility's power bill
Generating your own electricity will allow you to pull less power from the grid. Some facilities produce enough electricity to sell it back to electric companies, generating additional income for operations. A typical solar panel can perform for over 25 years, saving you a lot of money.
Low maintenance costs
Photovoltaic panels require minimal maintenance; however, keeping your panels clean from debris is imperative to maximize sunlight exposure and minimize the chance of scratches and chips.

Renewable Energy Certificates/Solar Renewable Energy Certificates/Alternative Energy Certificates which is the process of receiving certificates for creating your own power rather than drawing from the utility company.
Minimizing environmental impact
Harnessing the power of photovoltaic technology for electricity generation offers a fuel-free and environmentally friendly solution. It is widely recognized as one of the most sustainable and clean methods to power your building.
Federal and states incentives
Federal cash grants or investment tax credits may be available. Regional power companies may offer rebates for photovoltaic systems. For more information, visit www.dsireusa.org.
