Common Questions
How much does solar cost?
Thanks to tax credits, available grants & loans, and accelerated depreciation, commercial solar has never been more affordable. Many commercial installations have an estimated payback under 10 years, which means decades of free electric production.

Several large solar installers you may have heard of offer solar lease agreements. While the numbers may initially seem promising, upon further review, leasing does not offer the tax advantages you enjoy when purchasing a system. Purchasing your solar system is a long-term investment in your property that will have a greater return versus leasing.

Timeline for a Commercial Solar Project
Solar Evaluation
An appointment will be set up with your local consultant to discuss your questions and objectives for going solar. During this appointment, we’ll talk about your energy usage, location of the panels, and answer any questions you have about solar. We will also create a map of your property and gather information from your current electric bill, which will help us as we create a quote.
Detailed Quote
Within 2-3 days of your initial meeting, your consultant will deliver a detailed quote that is tailored to your situation. The proposal will include an aerial picture of what your system will look like, available incentives, and the financials of the project: price, payback, ROI, and a year-by-year cash flow.
Signed Contract
After you review the quote and decide to move forward with the project, a project manager will be assigned to your project. They will meet with you to discuss the "nuts and bolts” of the project and gather any final information we need to prepare for construction.
Paperwork & Permits
Most projects will have 2-4 months between the signed contract and the start of construction. During this time, we will take care of all the paperwork for the required permits, order material, and finalize the construction details. Your project manager will be in contact with you throughout this entire period.
Construction Begins
The project manager will work closely with the job site foreman to make sure construction is smooth and not disruptive in any way. Both team members will give you consistent updates to make sure you know what's happening at each step of the project. Construction can take anywhere from a couple days to several weeks, depending on the project size and weather conditions.
Flip the Switch Party
As soon as construction is complete, and all the proper permissions have been granted, we will celebrate by having you flip the switch to energize your system.
Benefits of Working with Paradise
