Commercial solar systems can produce enough electricity to cover between 50% and 100% of a business's energy use, depending on the type of system and its size.
The most commonly used type of commercial solar system is the grid-tied system, which connects directly to the utility grid and enables your business to use solar-generated electricity during daylight hours, while using utility-supplied electricity at night, or during low-sun conditions, as it doesn't primarily rely on batteries. However, business owners can always add a battery for storage. This is the most widely adopted form of industrial solar panel installation in Ontario.
Solar hybrid systems incorporate both solar panels and battery storage while still maintaining a connection to the local utility grid. By storing extra electricity generated by the solar panels for later use, improving energy reliability, and lowering peak pricing demand times, hybrid systems offer additional benefits. Today’s systems can be programmed to maximize your investment returns.
Off-grid systems don't need a connection to the utility grid. These systems are generally used for remote locations that have limited access to the grid. Battery storage and backup power are necessary to continue operation when the main power source is down, such as on days with low sunlight.
Commercial solar panels can be installed on various types of rooftops, including flat roofs, sloped roofs, and metal roofs. The appropriate mounting method for the rooftop will depend on the design of your building and available space for solar panels.
If there is limited roof space available for installing commercial solar panels, then ground-mounted solar panels are a viable alternative. Ground-mounted systems offer flexibility in terms of layout and ease of maintenance, also allowing for easy additions to expand the solar array in the future.
Solar carports are an innovative way to convert parking lot canopies into clean energy producers while offering shade protection and lower temperatures for parked cars. Additionally, they can support electric vehicle charging station integration for employee and visitor use.
By generating electricity onsite, businesses can save money on their monthly energy usage. As such, businesses can better predict their ongoing operating costs and reduce exposure to increasing utility rate costs.
Generating your own electricity means that your business has less dependency on the grid. Therefore, you will have more control over how much energy is consumed and have better resiliency during high-demand usage periods.
As modern commercial solar arrays are relatively low-maintenance, regular inspections and cleaning will ensure the optimal performance of the system for many years to come.
Using commercial solar power to produce clean, renewable energy for your business decreases your company's carbon footprint. Long-term sustainable objectives can be met by using solar energy without disrupting your current daily activities.
Installing commercial solar panels is one of the easiest ways to demonstrate your company's environmentally responsible management. This action enhances ESG initiatives that are important to your customers, employees, investors, and other stakeholders.
Federal and provincial solar programs can be accessed by qualifying businesses to offset the majority of the upfront costs associated with commercial solar installation (in some cases, more than 60%). Since available incentives change regularly, consulting with a professional during the planning process is beneficial.
While every commercial solar project is unique, many business owners can expect to recover their initial investment in 4 to 7 years. After recovering the initial investment, Ontario businesses enjoy reduced operational expenses along with continuing energy savings for years after the investment was made. In addition, solar systems installed in commercial properties often last 25 to 40 years.
Commercial properties with high-performance commercial solar systems can become more attractive to prospective buyers or renters due to the reduced operating expenses and increased long-term asset value. This would be on top of the returns discussed above.
Learn how your business can benefit from commercial solar for years to come.
Get StartedWhile many commercial properties are great candidates for most commercial solar projects, each will need to be evaluated individually. A successful solar installation will depend on your property, your electric usage, a well-designed system, and your long-term goals.
Some of the important considerations when evaluating your business are:
You may find that even though your roof is not optimal for solar panels, there are opportunities for other types of installations, such as ground-mounted systems or solar carports. The best option will depend on your business's specific energy requirements and the space available.

Investing in solar provides energy savings and increases the value of your home, making it a wise long-term investment. In Ontario, the average payback period for a residential solar system is between 7 to 10 years once all costs, including potential maintenance, are factored in. If you plan to sell your home after the payback period, you can expect an even greater return on investment. In fact, for every 1kW of solar installed, the value of your home could increase by up to $3,000 to $5,000 per watt, resulting in a 3 to 4% increase for an average-sized home. That alone will pay for the solar panel system when you sell your home!
