Solar for offices, retail and warehousing
Commercial roof space is usually dead capital. Weekday-heavy consumption lines up well with generation, and a commercial tariff means each displaced unit is worth more than it would be at a home.
Key figures
4–6 yr
Typical payback
Slightly longer than industrial, because occupancy loads dip at weekends while the array keeps generating.
Zero
Disruption to tenants
Rooftop work happens above occupied floors. Only the final connection is scheduled, usually outside business hours.
ESG
Reportable generation
String-level monitoring produces the generation and avoided-emissions data that sustainability reporting actually needs.
Proof
Comparable work
Questions people ask
We lease the building. Is solar still worth it?
It depends on the remaining lease term against the payback period, and on who holds the electricity connection. With five years or more remaining and the connection in your name, it usually stacks up. You will need the landlord’s written consent for the roof installation.
What happens to generation at weekends?
It is exported and settled under your DISCOM’s rules, which pay less than the retail tariff you avoid on a weekday. We size against that reality rather than assuming every unit is worth full value, which is why our estimate may be lower than another quote for the same roof.
Can we monitor generation ourselves?
Yes. String-level monitoring is standard on commercial installations, so underperformance surfaces within days rather than at the next bill, and the data is available for your own reporting.

That plus a roof plan is enough for a first-pass sizing and a realistic payback. If it does not stack up for your site, we will tell you.
