Unlocking Sustainable Savings:
Explore Our Commercial Solar Installation Services

Since our inception, Sunshine Renewable Solutions’ primary goals have been to assist in the widespread adoption of solar energy and help people understand why it’s not just an environmentally responsible choice but also a fscally savvy one.

We’ve completed dozens of commercial solar installations of all sizes, scales, and use purposes. In that time, no business owner/operator has ever told us they regretted switching to solar power. The future of energy cultivation in Texas is solar, and more and more commercial operations are embracing the opportunity; learn why this is so.

Step 1: Design+Engineering 
During the design/engineering phase, we will complete a custom draft of your commercial solar energy system to meet your energy needs. Depending on the type of building, property, and nearby environment, we suggest a roof, pole, or ground mount. Panel placement will be strategically arranged based on the area’s power load and irradiance; then, optimization equipment will be added. Once finished, we will share this along with pricing and projected savings.

Step 2: Permitting
Permitting is the most bureaucratic part of the process, but luckily, you don’t have to deal with it! The speed at which this portion moves depends on the local government, size, and project complexity. Dealing with the city/town approval processes can take some time; luckily, we have fostered great relationships to help move the process along. 

Sunshine offers a turnkey solution, which includes obtaining all necessary solar permits from your utility and municipality.

Step 3: Installation
Once your permits have been obtained, we have already ordered all the necessary equipment and will be ready to install. Rest assured that your installation will be seamless and take between two days and two weeks (or longer, depending on the size and complexity of the system).

Step 4: Inspection
Before your system can start operating, the city and/or utility will complete a final inspection. These inspectors ensure that the modifications to the building or grounds are up to code and that the proper permits were acquired. Once this is complete, you can begin producing your own sun-fueled electricity!

Step 5: Performance Monitoring
Sunshine can monitor and provide reporting on your solar energy system to see how much energy you’re producing and that all components are working correctly. We will run remote diagnostics, performance monitoring, and reporting to ensure you feel confident in your system and its optimality. 

Step 6: Maintenance (O&M)
We offer customized operations and maintenance (O&M) services to meet the needs of our commercial customers. Preventative and reactive maintenance are important parts of going solar, and we offer a 5-year workmanship warranty to give you peace of mind and confidence that your system will work as it should.

Scalable Savings
Energy suppliers and distributors would prefer your business pay for their services, regardless of rates and reliability; they know it’s operational costs you have to deal with, and they make big profits because of the scale on which commercial businesses operate. But it doesn’t have to be this way anymore, especially for businesses in the Lone Star State.

With a large-scale solar array installation, your businesses can become self-reliant with its energy needs and decrease operational costs by tens if not hundreds of thousands annually. It begs the question, why not harvest and own your business’ energy instead of leasing/renting it?

Tax Incentives
Many federal and local government agencies fully support solar energy adoption. Substantial tax incentives are available to commercial business owners, helping to alleviate the upfront installation costs and providing long-term savings. Some of the more notable incentives include:

  • The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) – Under the Inflation Reduction Act, commercial businesses with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can qualify for a 30% tax on the total system costs – this tax credit can be used to offset your tax liability dollar for dollar.
  • Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) – Farms/commercial properties can claim a solar array installation as depreciable property over five years on their federal taxes.
  • 10% Energy Community (additional ITC) – Solar generation projects built in communities previously involved with coal, oil, or natural gas extraction can qualify for an additional 10% ITC.
  • 10% American Made (additional ITC) – Certified steel and iron or any American-manufactured product that is a component of a solar array system can qualify for an additional 10% ITC.
  • REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) Grants – Farmers can receive grants for up to 50% of the total solar installation cost up to $1million supporting renewable energy adoption. 

Energy Independence via Energy Storage
Commercial solar energy harvested from solar arrays can be stored in commercial-scale batteries, capable of storing up to 1 megawatt of power! Large-scale commercial operations can avoid peak demand energy rates and decrease dependence on the unreliable, strained, overpriced grid with self-generated, clean stored energy, gaining independence from energy suppliers and even selling excess energy back to the grid. 

  • Positive Environmental Impact
    Your business can reduce its carbon footprint, help heal the environment, and set a great example for other operations to follow by harvesting clean, renewable energy, not to mention you’ll save money while doing it!

Getting started on your path to cost-effective, eco-friendly energy solutions with our commercial solar installation services is as simple as a ray of sunshine. Reach out today!

Here is a quick example: If your business can offset 6600 kilowatts of energy usage per month with solar, it’s equivalent to 1.6 tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled! Experiment with this EPA-generated greenhouse gas calculator to see how many pollutants your business can help avoid!

Creating The Foundation

As the foundational step in our partnership, the construction of concrete piers for the solar panel structure marks a pivotal milestone in our solar energy initiative. These concrete piers serve as the bedrock of support for the entire solar infrastructure, providing stability and durability essential for the efficient functioning of the solar array.

Precision And Accuracy Are Paramount

Our engineering team meticulously plans and designs the layout of the piers, ensuring they are strategically positioned to uphold the solar panel array's weight and withstand environmental factors such as wind and inclement weather. We adhere to industry standards and best practices to create a robust foundation that guarantees the longevity and resilience of the solar installation.

A Solid Foundation

Environmental considerations are taken into account throughout the construction process, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding ecosystem. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond energy production to encompass responsible construction practices.

By establishing these concrete piers foundations, we are ready to start Phase 2, erecting the metal support bars. Enabling the subsequent installation of solar panels will power the plastic manufacturer's operations while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.
