Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial solar cost?
Commercial solar costs vary by property and project. System size, energy usage, roof condition, electrical work, equipment, engineering, permitting, and utility requirements can all affect the total project cost.
The right system isn’t necessarily the biggest one. We evaluate your property and energy needs first, then explain the options so you can make an informed decision.
How much can my business save with solar?
Your potential savings depend on your electricity usage, utility rates, system size, solar production, and how your utility handles excess energy.
As a boutique construction firm specializing in complex projects, we look beyond the numbers. We evaluate your property, energy use, and unique project requirements to help you understand what solar could mean for your business, and how to approach it with confidence.
Is commercial solar worth it in Arizona?
Arizona has over 300 days of sunshine which makes commercial solar worth exploring for many businesses. We’ll help you understand the potential benefits and costs so you can decide if solar is right for your business.
Do I need a new roof before installing solar?
We evaluate the roof’s age, condition, roofing system, and other site factors before putting on your solar system.
If your roof needs repairs or replacement, addressing those needs before installing solar can help prevent a lot of damages.
Because we handle both commercial roofing and solar, we can evaluate the two together.
How long does commercial solar installation take?
Every project has a different timeline. Commercial solar involves much more than installing panels, from site assessment to system design, engineering, permitting, installation, inspections, and activation. The larger and more complex the system, the more time installation and coordination may require.
Complex projects take careful planning, but it’s worth the wait when the work is done right. Before you choose us, we’ll walk you through the process and what to expect. Once your project begins, we’ll keep you updated along the way so you always know what’s happening and what’s next.
We’ll explain the major steps and what to expect before your project begins.
Will installing solar disrupt my business?
Our goal is to plan the project around your business operations. Construction may involve temporary changes to access, parking, equipment, or other areas of your property, depending on the project. We’ll consider your employees, customers, tenants, operating hours, and site logistics during project planning.
Your business doesn’t stop when your project starts.
How does commercial solar work with the utility?
Your utility plays an important role in a commercial solar project. They have their own requirements for interconnection, system approval, and how excess energy is handled.
We’ll help navigate the applicable utility process for your project and explain what you can expect along the way.
What happens after my solar system is installed?
Installation isn’t the end of the relationship.
American Solar & Roofing can help with service needs such as monitoring troubleshooting, inverter troubleshooting, low-production investigations, inspections, and panel removal and reinstallation.
Your power. Our care.
