Frequently Asked Questions

A commercial solar panel system typically has 96 solar cells that are 78” by 39”, while a home solar panel system typically has 72 solar cells that are 65” by 39”.
A commercial solar panel system is around 100 kilowatts (kW) – 10 megawatts (MW). Every commercial installation is different. Some contain more or less than 100kW, so it’s best to speak with a solar specialist to determine how many watts you need.
The length of time it requires to install commercial solar panels is between a week and a couple months, but it completely depends on the size of your project. Large warehouses or parking lot projects will require more time than a small brick-and-mortar boutique. There’s also various cabling and mounting infrastructure to consider for your specific installation process.
About 65% of commercial projects pay for themselves between five and ten years. But this depends on the size of your system as well as where you live. Each state has its own local rates. However, the more commercial panels you have, the more energy they will produce – saving you substantial money, regardless of your original purchase cost.

Most solar panels’ performance is guaranteed for 25-30 years, but panels will go on to produce electricity for longer than that. The first 30 years after your solar installation is considered the system’s “useful life”, but panels can still produce electricity for decades longer.

Scheduling an annual inspection with your solar specialist is highly recommended to ensure everything is working properly. Also give your panels a good cleaning. Dirt and debris can collect on your panels, especially during storms and long period without rainfall.
