Built around your business
Commercial solar.
Commercial solar uses photovoltaic panels on business rooftops or parking canopies to generate electricity on site. VOLT helps plan solar around the property, its electricity use and the requirements of the utility connection.

Rooftop solar or solar carports?
Rooftop systems use existing building space. Solar carports use parking areas and can create shaded parking while generating electricity. The right approach depends on usable area, structural capacity, shading and access for construction and maintenance.
What determines the project design?
Start with roof condition, ownership or lease arrangements, operating hours and electricity bills. A system should be evaluated against the energy the business actually consumes, rather than roof area alone. Utility connection requirements and any permitted exports also shape the design.
How should you compare proposals?
Compare the proposed equipment, expected energy production, installed scope, maintenance responsibilities and utility assumptions. Ask how roof work, electrical upgrades and changes to the building are handled. Savings estimates should explain the rate and usage assumptions behind them.
Solar for new commercial construction
VOLT works with new construction projects to plan solar alongside the building. Early coordination can identify usable roof area, structural requirements, electrical routes and utility connection needs before those decisions are fixed. Share your site plans, intended use and construction schedule to start the conversation.
Before you begin
Commercial solar questions
Can solar power my business during an outage?
A standard grid-connected solar system generally shuts down when the grid is unavailable. Backup requires compatible battery storage, controls and a design for selected loads.
Can a leased commercial property use solar?
A lease review and the property owner’s agreement are important starting points. The remaining lease term and responsibility for access, maintenance and roof work should be clarified before a project proceeds.
What information should I provide?
Share the property location, ownership or lease status, roof information if available, and twelve months of electricity bills. These help establish the project’s practical starting point.
