Our Commercial Solar Installation Process
CONSULTATION
Our team will meet with you to evaluate your property and energy profiles to determine the ideal solar design approach.
DESIGN + PLANNING
We develop system design documents, and complete the electrical engineering package required for permitting.
PERMITTING + APPROVALS
We handle permitting, utility coordination, and approvals for commercial solar and storage installations.
CONSTRUCTION + INSTALLATION
Once approved, we efficiently construct and install your solar panel system and energy infrastructure while minimizing operational disruptions.
SYSTEM COMMISSIONING
Each system is fully commissioned and tested to ensure it performs as designed before going live.
MONITORING + SUPPORT
We can provide ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and support to optimize long-term system performance.
ENGINEERING
Fully Engineered Solar + Storage, Built for Performance
Sunspear provides in-house design & engineering support to ensure solar projects are designed for performance, compliance, and long-term reliability.
Our engineering team evaluates site conditions, system requirements, and regulatory considerations early in the process to reduce risk and support efficient project execution.
By coordinating closely with project managers, installers, utilities, and local authorities, Sunspear delivers engineered solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing facilities.
This collaborative approach helps streamline approvals, maintain safety and code compliance, and support predictable outcomes from design through commissioning.
FINANCING OPTIONS
COMMERCIAL SOLAR FINANCING & CAPITAL PLANNING
Several financing options are available for commercial solar projects:
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPA): You agree to purchase the electricity generated by a solar system installed on your property at a set price, which is usually lower than the utility rate.
- Roof lease: You lease your roof space to a solar provider who installs and maintains the solar system, and you benefit from the energy produced at a lower cost.
- Equipment loans: Similar to traditional loans, where you borrow money to purchase and own the solar system outright.
- Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (CPACE): Financing that allows property owners to finance the upfront cost of energy improvements and pay the costs back over time through a voluntary assessment on their property tax bill.
TAX CREDITS + INCENTIVES
Key federal incentives for commercial, nonprofit, and multifamily solar projects are approaching important deadlines. If solar is part of your capital strategy, development pipeline, or long-term operating plan, the next 12–18 months represent a critical window to maximize available benefits.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Our interactive financial models provide a clear picture of project costs, available tax credits, stacked incentives, and projected returns—tailored to your facility’s energy usage, utility rates, and financing structure.
For project-specific tax and incentive guidance, consult a licensed CPA or tax attorney familiar with IRS Notice 2023-29 and the IRA clean energy provisions.
