Is solar worth it for commercial buildings?
Reviewed by SolvSolar · Last reviewed:
Yes — solar is usually worth it for commercial buildings, with typical payback of 3–4 years. Commercial tariffs are higher than residential ones, daytime occupancy matches the solar generation curve almost exactly, and accelerated depreciation plus tax credits shorten payback further. After that the system delivers 20-plus years of near-free daytime electricity.
