Types of On-site Commercial Solar System Installations
Solar is a renewable energy technology that can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure. A photovoltaic solar system, which silently produces clean energy without any moving parts, is ideal for on-site applications at commercial facilities. Depending on the quantity and kind of available space, there are different types of installations that work best. Most on-site commercial solar installations fit into three broad categories: roof-mounted, ground-mounted and parking canopy systems. Below, we describe the different categories and the advantages of each.
Demystifying the Solar Project Management Process
Project managers work hard to ensure that the process of installing a solar system is as easy and seamless for clients as possible. While clients are enjoying uninterrupted business operations, project managers are behind-the-scenes coordinating the multiple parties involved and ensuring that all the safety, permitting, installation standards and client criteria are met in an orderly and timely fashion. Below, we demystify the process of solar installations by highlighting the common milestones that occur over the course of the installation.
