Rooftop Solar: Is It Right for Your Home or Business?

Rooftop solar systems generate electricity from sunlight using the roof space you already have. For many homes, businesses and institutions, solar is one of the most practical ways to reduce electricity bills and move towards clean energy.

A few questions help decide whether rooftop solar suits you. Do you have enough shadow-free roof area? Roughly 100 square feet is needed for every 1 kW of solar capacity. What is your monthly electricity consumption and bill? Higher usage usually means faster savings. Is your roof structurally sound and accessible for installation and cleaning?

Most rooftop systems in cities are grid-connected. The solar power is used first by your building, and any extra can be exported to the grid under net-metering, where available. This lowers your bill without needing batteries.

Solar panels typically come with long performance warranties and need very little maintenance beyond regular cleaning and periodic inspection.
