Commercial Solar
Solar built for business.
Genesis Solar designs commercial solar systems around your facility's energy use, property, electrical infrastructure, operating goals, and long-term energy strategy, for businesses, farms, nonprofits, and public facilities across southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.
Why businesses go solar
Energy as part of your operating strategy
More control over energy costs
Producing your own electricity can reduce how much you buy from the utility and make part of your energy spend more predictable.
Use space you already have
Rooftops, ground space, and parking areas can be put to work, depending on structure, shading, and site conditions.
A long-term facility asset
A professionally designed and maintained system is built to perform for decades, with monitoring and service behind it.
How a commercial project works
From facility assessment to long-term support
Facility & energy assessment
We review utility bills, usage patterns, the roof or site, and your electrical service to understand what the facility actually needs.
System design & engineering
Array layout, equipment selection, structural considerations, and electrical integration designed around your property and operations.
Project economics review
Estimated production, project cost, and the incentive and financing paths that may apply, with the assumptions shown clearly.
Permitting & interconnection
We coordinate permits, inspections, and the utility interconnection application from start to finish.
Professional installation
Our team installs and commissions the system with attention to safety, code compliance, and minimal disruption to your operations.
Monitoring & long-term support
Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and service keep the system performing after it goes live.
Project economics
Clear numbers, honest assumptions
Commercial solar decisions come down to the numbers. Your proposal shows how they were built so you can evaluate the project with your team, accountant, or board.
- Estimated annual production for your site
- Itemized project pricing
- Incentives and programs that may apply, such as federal tax credits or Pennsylvania SRECs, depending on project type, ownership, timing, and current law
- Financing paths available to qualified customers
- The assumptions behind every estimate
Beyond the array
A complete commercial energy partner
Commercial battery storage
Storage may help manage how and when your facility uses energy and may provide backup capability for selected loads, depending on system configuration.
Solar service & O&M
Diagnostics, repair, maintenance, and performance reviews for your system, and for existing commercial systems installed by other companies.
System expansion
Systems can be designed with future growth in mind, and existing systems may be expandable depending on equipment, space, and utility requirements.
Monitoring
Production monitoring helps your team see how the system is performing and lets issues surface early.
Commercial FAQ
Common commercial questions
What size commercial projects do you take on?
We evaluate projects based on the facility, site, and electrical service. The best first step is a project assessment, where we review your energy use and property and discuss what makes sense.
How long does a commercial project take?
Timelines depend on system size, engineering, permitting, equipment availability, and utility interconnection. We'll give you an anticipated timeline for your project during the proposal process and keep you updated throughout.
Are there tax credits or incentives for commercial solar?
Some commercial projects may qualify for federal tax credits or other programs, depending on project type, ownership, timing, and current law. We identify programs that may apply during your proposal; confirm eligibility with your tax advisor.
Will installation disrupt our operations?
We plan the work around your operations and coordinate any required electrical shutdowns in advance to keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you work with nonprofits and public facilities?
Yes. We work with businesses, farms, nonprofits, and public entities. Projects for tax-exempt and public organizations often have different procurement and incentive considerations, which we'll walk through with you.
