Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial Solar FAQs

Commercial solar refers to solar energy systems installed on businesses, industrial buildings, warehouses, offices, and other commercial properties. These systems are designed to offset electricity costs, stabilize energy expenses, and improve long-term operating margins.
The cost of commercial solar depends on system size, energy usage, roof or land availability, and electrical infrastructure. While upfront costs vary, most businesses see strong returns through energy savings, incentives, and accelerated depreciation.
Yes. Commercial solar is one of the most reliable long-term investments businesses can make. It reduces operating costs, protects against rising utility rates, and often delivers predictable returns over 25+ years.
Canadian businesses may qualify for federal, provincial, and utility-based incentives, including grants, rebates, and tax advantages. These programs can significantly reduce the upfront cost of commercial solar installations.
Most commercial solar projects take several weeks from design to commissioning, depending on system size, permitting, and site conditions. Installation is typically scheduled to minimize disruption to business operations.
Yes. Commercial solar systems can be installed on flat roofs, sloped roofs, ground-mounts, and parking canopies. Each system is custom-designed to maximize energy production and structural safety.
When properly engineered and installed, commercial solar systems do not void building warranties. Otter Energy works with building owners, insurers, and engineers to ensure full compliance and risk mitigation.
Commercial solar panels typically last 25–30 years or more. Inverters and electrical components may require replacement during that time, and all major components are backed by manufacturer warranties.
Yes. Battery storage allows businesses to store excess solar energy, reduce peak demand charges, and maintain power during outages. Solar-plus-storage is increasingly popular for facilities with high energy reliability needs.
Yes. Solar power for industrial buildings is highly effective due to large roof areas, high energy demand, and long operating hours. Industrial solar systems can offset significant electricity usage while supporting operational resilience and ESG goals.
