Commercial Solar Built Around Your Business
Convert Solar provides commercial solar installation for Virginia businesses ready to make more productive use of their property and energy budget. We design commercial solar systems around how your facility uses electricity, the space you have available, and what you want the project to accomplish.
Your roof, parking area, or available land may be able to produce some of the electricity your business already uses every day.

The Business Case
Electricity is a recurring cost of doing business. Commercial solar power gives your property another way to supply some of that energy, based on how you use power, where solar can go, and what the numbers need to deliver.
What can solar realistically do for your property?
Does the Property Work?
A large roof helps. So does available land. The full picture comes from looking at the property alongside the way your business actually uses electricity.
Those pieces help determine the appropriate system size, where the commercial solar panels should go, and whether the project deserves a closer look.
What We Review
When evaluating solar panels for a business, we look at:
Your electricity usage and demand
Available roof, ground, or other installation space
Roof condition and usable area
Shading and solar exposure
The property's electrical infrastructure
Current and future energy needs
How long you expect to operate at the property
Your financial and energy goals
The Numbers
Kilowatts and panel counts matter. The business case matters more. A commercial solar panel installation should be built around numbers you can understand and evaluate alongside your other business investments.
How much electricity the proposed system is expected to generate based on its design and location.
How that production lines up with the way your facility consumes power.
What the proposed system costs based on its size, equipment, property, electrical requirements, and installation scope.
The right structure depends on your business and financial goals. We’ll walk you through commercial solar financing options and how each affects the project numbers.
We model expected production, project costs, and long-term value around your business so you can see how the numbers come together.
You should be able to look at a solar proposal and understand where the numbers came from.
Why Convert Solar
Commercial solar has to work with the property, electrical system, utility requirements, and long-term goals of the business. Convert Solar has served Virginia since 2012 and completed more than 8,500 solar installations across the state. That experience helps us evaluate more than the equipment itself and understand how the full project needs to come together.
More than a decade working with Virginia properties and solar projects.
Thousands of completed systems across different buildings, electrical requirements, and project conditions.
Our solar experience is backed by one of the industry’s recognized professional certification standards.
Convert Solar has been recognized by Solar Power World as a Top Solar Contractor for six consecutive years, from 2021 through 2026.
The rankings are based on installed solar capacity, reflecting completed project work and operational experience.
Commercial Applications
Two businesses can occupy buildings of similar size and have completely different electricity needs. That is why solar panels for commercial buildings should be designed around the operation inside the property rather than square footage alone.
Warehouse
Large roof areas can create substantial installation space. The system still needs to line up with the facility’s electricity profile, roof conditions, and usable area.
Commercial Property
Commercial solar can become part of a property’s long-term energy strategy, whether the building serves one business or is part of a larger commercial portfolio.
Industrial
Facilities with substantial daytime electricity demand may be able to produce solar power during many of the same hours their operations are consuming electricity.
Institution
Roofs, land, parking areas, and other available space can create opportunities for commercial solar systems designed around long-term facility energy needs.
Professional Facility
We design around the building’s electricity requirements, available installation area, electrical infrastructure, and operational priorities.
How It Works
Every commercial property comes with its own requirements. Our commercial solar installation process starts with understanding them.
Step 01
We review electricity usage, the property, available installation space, and what you want the project to accomplish.
01
Step 02
We look at where solar could go, how much capacity the property could support, and how a system could align with your electricity use.
02
Step 03
We bring the design, production, costs, and financials together so you can see how the project works for your business.
03
Step 04
Once the project moves forward, the system progresses through the required design, engineering, approval, and project-development stages.
04
Step 05
We coordinate your commercial solar panel installation through installation, inspection, utility approval, and system activation.
05
Step 06
Our relationship continues as your system produces power, with service and support available over the years ahead.
06
Give us the property’s energy history and tell us what you want the project to accomplish.
We’ll look at your electricity use, available space, system potential, commercial solar financing considerations, and project economics so you can see what commercial solar power could look like for your business.
