What are Commercial Solar Panels?
Commercial solar panels are an array of multiple photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels comprise of solar cells made from silicon that is constructed with a positive layer and a negative layer, which together create an electric field. Multiple cells make up a solar panel, and multiple panels or modules can be wired together to form a solar array. Commercial solar panels employ a large number of solar arrays to generate more electricity.

These can be installed on the top of buildings and generate enough energy to meet the building’s power needs. Commercial solar panels are sources of clean and renewable energy that require very little maintenance and has no carbon emissions which has become a global concern.

How do Commercial Solar Panels work?
Commercial solar panels collect clean renewable energy from sunlight and convert it into electricity which is used to provide power for electrical loads. Solar panels comprise of several individual solar cells that are made up of layers of silicon, phosphorous and boron, arranged in a grid-like pattern. The power generated by these solar cells is sent to an inverter which converts the DC power from the solar panels into AC power which is similar to the energy sent via a utility grid. Commercial inverters are generally available in the range of 2.5 kW to 250 kW power level and are designed to meet the requirements of any commercial application.

Features of Commercial Solar Panels

• Commercial solar panels can be installed on the rooftop or open space available in commercial buildings as they have enough area for a large number of solar panels to be installed and produce enough solar electricity to meet all of their power needs.
• Commercial solar panels generate enough power during the day that it can be stored and harnessed to be used in the night as well.
• Commercial solar panels are very sturdy and require very little maintenance.
• They have a lifespan of over 15-20 years and post-installation the electricity generated on the system is absolutely free.

Applications of Solar Panels

• Commercial solar panels can be used to power industrial buildings in off-grid or remote locations.
• Commercial solar panels installed on the rooftop of buildings can be used to light up signs or message boards. Solar energy charges the battery so that the signs can remain illuminated even during the night.
• Commercial solar panels can be used for preheating ventilation air as well as water heating in offices and businesses.
