Commercial solar energy, also known as photovoltaic (PV) energy, utilizes solar panels and systems to generate electricity for commercial, industrial, or municipal applications. Commercial solar systems are specifically designed based on a business’s energy consumption and/or available space to install PV panels.

Commercial solar is a system that businesses install to generate electricity from sunlight, thereby replacing or supplementing their electricity bought from the utility provider. This type of solar system is typically larger than those seen on residential homes, as companies often have bigger energy requirements.
