Commercial Solutions
Commercial and Industrial Solar offer great flexibility in terms of available solutions. Businesses can benefits from roof or ground mounted solar systems with a potential battery energy storage extension. The size ranges usually between 50kW up to single digit MW range.
Commercial and industrial solar refer to the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on commercial and industrial buildings, respectively. These systems are designed to generate electricity from the sun’s energy and supply it directly to the building’s electrical system or to the utility grid.
Commercial solar systems are typically installed on commercial buildings, such as offices, warehouses, retail stores, and other non-residential properties. These systems can be installed on the roof, on the ground, or on parking lots. Commercial solar systems can help businesses reduce their energy costs, increase their energy independence, and promote cleaner and more sustainable operations.
Industrial solar systems, on the other hand, are typically installed on larger industrial buildings, such as factories, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers. These systems can generate large amounts of electricity and can be used to power the building’s operations or sold back to the utility grid.
Many businesses and industries see solar power as a way to meet their sustainability goals and promote a positive public image by reducing their carbon footprint and supporting renewable energy while implementing a long term low cost energy structure.

Europe
Trends and Policies in Residential & Commercial Solar
Residential and Commercial solar rooftop PV could generate 25% of European electricity needs. That’s more than the current share provided by natural gas, and this excluding the crucial share provided by utility-scale solar. Only between 2022 and 2027, residential and commercial solar PV will make up 26% of all renewable capacity additions, as a result of increasing electricity prices and stronger governmental support through policies and subsidies.
The EU Solar Strategy, a core component of the REPowerEU plan, aims to deploy solar PV in all sectors, including agricultural, residential & real estate, commercial (industrial included), and utility scale. The strategy sets ambitious targets of 320 GW by 2025 and almost 600 GW by 2030, making it a significant driver of the continent’s transition to renewable energy.
The EU Solar Rooftops Initiative is part of this strategy and aims at unlocking the vast, underutilised solar generation potential of rooftops to make European energy cleaner, more secure and affordable. Accordingly, installations of solar rooftop PV will become compulsory for:
- New public and commercial buildings with useful floor area larger than 250 m2 by 2026
- Existing public and commercial buildings with useful floor area larger than 250 m2 by 2027
- New residential buildings by 2029
Additionally, the European Commission made it clear that each member state must ensure the full implementation of the plan. This also involves allowing consumers in multi-apartment buildings to effectively exercise their right to collective self-consumption, without undue costs. Furthermore, each member state will have to limit the length of permitting procedures for rooftop solar installations to a maximum of 3 months, while eliminating administrative obstacles for the expansion of existing systems.
The European Commission stated that the plan will require immediate implementation as of 2023, with each member state acting proactively towards the massive deployment of solar rooftop PV and possible in concomitance with roof renovations and battery storage.
