Understanding C&I Solar: A Comprehensive Guide

25 Dec.,2023

 

The solar industry is split into three primary sectors: utility scale and community solar that power an entire area’s homes and businesses; residential solar projects that power a single home; and commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects that provide clean, reliable electricity to businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Commissioned by your local electric provider, utility scale solar projects are the largest in terms of the amount of electricity generated. These large ground mounted “solar farms” generate at least 1 megawatt (MW) and often range into the hundreds of megawatts.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are projects for the residential solar sector, where installations range between 3 and 20 kilowatts (kW), depending on the size and energy needs of the home.

Nestled right in the middle is the C&I sector. C&I solar customers include large corporations like Apple, Target, and Amazon, as well as a growing number of local businesses, non-profits, schools and universities, religious institutions, local government agencies, and municipalities. The C&I solar sector is the focus of this article.
