Power Your Business with Commercial Solar

Florida Electric & Solar installs commercial solar systems on rooftops, ground mounts, and carport or canopy structures, making solar viable for most commercial property types including warehouses, retail centers, office buildings, and manufacturing facilities.

Commercial solar systems typically reduce electricity expenses by 50 to 90 percent depending on system size, energy usage, and utility rate structure. Florida businesses with high daytime energy loads tend to see the strongest return on their commercial solar investment.

Commercial solar properties continue to qualify for the federal Investment Tax Credit (Section 48E) in 2026, unlike the residential credit that expired at the end of 2025. Businesses may also benefit from accelerated depreciation under MACRS, which can significantly reduce the net cost of a commercial solar system in the first year. Florida also offers an 80% property tax abatement on the added value of commercial solar installations. Consult a qualified tax professional to confirm eligibility for your business.

Timeline varies by system size and permitting requirements, but most commercial solar projects move from contract to activation in 8 to 16 weeks. Larger commercial solar systems or properties requiring structural engineering review may take longer.
