Commercial Solar

Bringing Solar to Your Business, The Lighthouse Way

Commercially sited solar has begun to take off. The strong signals of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), lower pricing for solar, local incentives and higher electricity rates make going solar on commercial buildings more attractive.

Our customers include multi-family, nonprofit, and owner-occupied buildings. They have seen direct and indirect benefits of displaying to their customers and the larger community their commitment to the energy transformation
