Commercial Solar Installation

Commercial Solar Panels

One of the biggest expenses for most businesses, retail facilities, multi-family properties and industrial facilities is utility costs.

Also, as your organization expands, it uses more energy for lighting, ventilation, production, computing, and other purposes. With that expansion, your energy needs increase exponentially and so do your utility bills when you rely on the electric grid to supply your power.

Utility costs for businesses are getting more expensive every day. In the United States, SMBs already spend more than $60 billion annually on energy. Experts in the energy industry also anticipate that long-term increases in the average cost of power per kilowatt-hour will occur rapidly.

You can protect your business’ bottom line by decreasing your energy costs with the installation of a renewable energy source like solar power. Become independent from the grid to make sure your business is always supplied with the energy it needs, even when the grid is struggling to keep the lights on.

SOLAR SYSTEM DESIGN
TIME: 1 – 3 WEEKS

When it comes to solar panels for residential use, no two projects are alike. Each structure will have individual variables, and unique energy needs. This requires a custom solar solution to meet your needs, the limitations of your property’s structure and your budget.

After the design is approved, the materials to install your system will be ordered.

While on your property, our expert installers will be managed by an onsite project manager to assure the timely completion of your system installation. So as not to delay installation, you should respond to any questions from your project manager or Energy Consultant right away.
FINAL INSPECTIONS
TIME: 1 – 3 WEEKS

Your power company and a city inspector must both approve your solar panel installation after it has been installed. Also, your utility provider might put up a new meter that enables net metering to make sure you get credits on your account for any extra energy your system generates and returns to the grid.
FINAL PROJECT CLOSEOUT & ACTIVATION
Once your system has cleared the inspections, we will activate your new clean energy system and show you how to operate it. A final meeting will be scheduled with your Energy Consultant, who will give you a packet containing your system’s design packet, product and warranty information, and service contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Battery Backup?

Solar Battery Backup is an add-on feature to your solar system. It can be included for an additional fee. The benefits of adding a battery backup system are numerous. Mainly, it assures that your surplus energy is stored in case of blackouts, storms or other issues that can disrupt your power supply.

Generators can fail, or require fossil fuels to continue running, which is in short supply during catastrophes and natural disasters. Add a battery backup to your new solar system and NEVER LOSE POWER AGAIN!

How Can Going Solar Protect Me From Rising Energy Costs?

Fossil fuel costs are dependent on the fluctuations in the oil and gas market, which means when the price goes up, so does your utility bills. Renewable energy, like solar energy, is dependent only on the always present energy of the sun. After going solar, and becoming energy independent, your financial bottom line is no longer affected by those price fluctuations.

The choice to install solar is still a significant one. The initial costs of a residential solar panel system, including the price of the equipment and labor, may seem like a sizable investment. But, to maximize your return on investment, ProTerra Solar Technologies will assist you in choosing a system that is right for your needs. As your energy partner, we will help you design a system to recapture your investment as quickly as possible.

What Happens if I Need A Repair to My Solar System or Roof?

You will be given service contact numbers at your final closeout meeting. Feel free to give us a call and we will be right out to help solve the problem.

Should I Increase My Insurance Policy to Include My Solar System?

Yes, as soon as your new solar system is installed, you should immediately contact your insurance provider to include it in your policy. Be sure to ask about any exclusions or limitations in your policy regarding solar systems to make sure you are sufficiently covered.
