Follow the sunlight from rooftop power to fewer electricity purchases. Then explore what solar could mean for your business.
Morning Your roof generates power
As sunlight reaches the panels, your commercial solar system starts producing electricity.
Production depends on weather, season, shade, usable roof area and system design.
Daytime Solar powers your business
Use solar electricity on site during operating hours. The grid supplies the rest.
Matching generation to your daytime electricity use helps determine its value.
Savings Solar can lower energy costs
Using solar on site means buying fewer kWh from the grid. This annual example shows $4,800 less spent on electricity use charges, before solar system costs.
Example only; your results depend on your property and rates. Other bill charges and solar system costs are excluded.
Evening The grid remains part of the plan
After sunset, the grid supplies the building’s electricity. A commercial solar project can work without a battery.
Storage is a separate option when the site’s needs and economics justify it.
Before a real project
- Your utility reviews the connection.
The grid stays part of the plan, and net metering needs an approved arrangement.
Ontario Energy Board ↗ - The site shapes the design.
Roof condition, usable area, shading and electricity use set what makes sense.
Is my property suitable? - Battery storage is optional.
Decide what it should power and for how long. Outage backup needs purpose-built equipment.
Electrical Safety Authority ↗ - Incentives vary.
Eligibility, tax treatment and application timing differ by program and applicant.

Roof condition, electricity use and utility requirements shape the project. Explore the questions that matter to your site.
Discuss your propertyIs my property suitable?
Usable roof space, structural capacity, roof condition, shading and access all matter. Parking canopies may provide another option.
For a commercial property, your operating hours, electricity consumption, demand charges and utility connection capacity help determine the fit.
When does battery storage help?
Start with the solar system and the electricity your business uses during the day. Battery storage is optional and needs its own cost-and-benefit review; it is not part of the savings example above.
A battery may be useful for particular demand-management or backup needs. Homeowners can also explore separate solar and battery options in the homeowner incentive guide.
Backup power requires a system designed for an outage, including compatible equipment and controls. Ordinary grid-connected solar does not automatically keep the building running.
Ask what the battery will power, when it will charge and discharge, and how long it is designed to support those loads.
Ontario Electrical Safety Authority: grid-connected inverter and backup guidance ↗What determines the cost and return?
A useful proposal shows the production estimate, installed and operating costs, utility tariff and incentive assumptions. Roof area alone is not enough to calculate savings.
On-site use and approved net metering are different operating models. Some Ontario rebates exclude net metering; compare the routes before committing.
Compare business incentives and net metering ↗Can a tenant or homeowner enquire?
Yes. A tenant's project depends on the lease, owner approval and who is responsible for the roof and electricity account.
For an Ontario home, solar and battery rebates have separate eligibility rules. You can also contact us about a residential project.
See homeowner eligibility ↗Government tax credits for commercial solar.
Eligible businesses may qualify for the federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit of up to 30%. Accelerated capital cost allowance is a separate tax deduction. Explore these and Ontario incentives before you commit.

How the savings example is calculated
The $4,800 is a fictional annual example of electricity purchases replaced by solar. It is not a quote, customer result or estimate for your property.
- Electricity used by the business
- 100,000 kWh per year
- Electricity produced by solar
- 40,000 kWh per year
- Solar power used on site
- 40,000 × 80% = 32,000 kWh per year
- Assumed electricity use rate
- $0.15 per kWh
- Electricity purchases replaced
- 32,000 kWh × $0.15/kWh = $4,800 per year
As a cross-check at the same assumed rate, annual electricity use charges fall from $15,000 (100,000 kWh × $0.15) to $10,200 (68,000 kWh × $0.15): a $4,800 difference.
32,000 ÷ 100,000 = 0.32. In this example, solar supplies 32% of the business’s annual electricity use. The 80% above describes how much solar production is used on site; it is not an 80% bill reduction.
The example covers electricity use charges only. Fixed charges, demand charges, export credits, equipment, installation, financing, maintenance and taxes are excluded. It does not show net savings or a payback period.
A property-specific estimate needs your electricity bills, usage pattern, roof conditions and system design. The tax credit is separate from this annual example; its value depends on eligible project costs and applicable rules.
