What is the difference between Residential solutions and Commercial solutions?
The main differences between residential and commercial solar installations are typically in scale, purpose, and complexity:
- Commercial solar systems are larger, catering to the higher energy demands of businesses, offices, or industrial facilities.
- Commercial solar systems often serve both cost-saving purposes and environmental goals but may also include corporate social responsibility or marketing benefits.
- Commercial solar installations are generally more complex due to larger scale and often require custom engineering to integrate with existing infrastructure.
- Commercial projects may have access to different tax incentives, grants, or financing structures compared to residential installations.
- Residential solar systems are smaller and designed to meet the energy needs of a single household.
- Residential solar systems primarily aim to reduce household electricity bills and provide energy independence.
- Residential systems are simpler in design and installation, typically involving rooftop panels or ground-mounted arrays.
