There are many benefits of installing a solar system at your company’s locations. The government offers incentive tax credit in Florida for using solar systems and your company’s locations will see a decrease in the amount of electricity used and the bill that comes with it. But the question still holds, is your business right for a solar system?

If you are not the owner of the building or property of your company’s location, you’ll need to get in contact with them. Cost is a big factor and may need to be negotiated between the property owner and business owner. Getting the property owner on board from the beginning will ensure the process starts smoothly.

Your roofs structure and age play an important role in installation as well. If you have an older roof, it may be necessary to have an engineer assess the structure and determine if it is “solar ready”. There is a possibility that the roof may need replaced and updated to have solar support placements. The structure may have physical restrictions that prevent installation. 

Sometimes, utility companies have standards to be able to connect to the grid. It is beneficial to contact your utility company and ask the right questions. Depending on your area, the regulations for interconnection standards may vary, affecting your options of solar systems.

Always get an assessment of your business’ location and its eligibility for installing a solar system. It’s best to know the process, the requirements and the cost before proceeding. Think tax breaks, money savings, increased property value and so much more!
