Introduction
Installing a solar system for your business involves more than just choosing panels. Here are the key factors to consider to ensure a smooth and successful installation.

1. Site Evaluation
A thorough assessment of your roof’s orientation, shading, and structural integrity is crucial for maximizing efficiency.

2. Energy Needs Assessment
Understand your business’s energy consumption patterns to design a system that meets your needs without overspending.

3. Financing Options
Explore purchase, lease, and power purchase agreements (PPAs) to determine what suits your budget and long-term goals.

4. Permits and Compliance
Your installer should handle permits, zoning laws, and local regulations, but it’s good to understand the compliance landscape.

5. Installer Reputation
Work with certified, experienced installers who can provide references and detailed project timelines.
