Overview

Commercial solar isn’t a bigger version of a residential install — it’s a different kind of project, with its own engineering requirements, financing options, and permitting process. roofio is a turnkey commercial solar EPC partner, handling engineering, procurement, and construction under one roof so your organization gets one point of contact from feasibility study to activation.

Whether you’re a church board evaluating stewardship of resources, a school district weighing long-term budget savings, or a warehouse operator looking to cut a six-figure electric bill, we build a system sized to your actual usage — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Turnkey EPC

What Does “Turnkey Commercial Solar EPC” Mean?

EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction. A turnkey commercial solar EPC partner handles all three phases in-house instead of subcontracting pieces out to multiple vendors:

  • Engineering — system design, load analysis, and structural/electrical planning specific to your property
  • Procurement — sourcing panels, inverters, racking, and balance-of-system equipment from vetted manufacturers
  • Construction — licensed installation, permitting, interconnection, and final commissioning

Working with one EPC firm instead of separate designers, suppliers, and installers means no finger-pointing if something doesn’t line up, and one warranty covering the whole system.

Who We Serve

Who We Build Commercial Solar For

Commercial solar looks different depending on the property. Here’s how we approach the segments we work with most:

Church Solar Installation

Congregations are increasingly turning to solar to reduce operating costs and free up budget for ministry instead of utility bills. We work with church boards and finance committees to structure a system — and financing — that fits how a nonprofit organization budgets and makes decisions.

School Solar Installation

School districts have long planning horizons and public budget scrutiny. We size systems around actual campus usage and help identify available incentive programs, so a school solar installation pencils out over a 20+ year horizon, not just year one.

Warehouse Solar Installation

Warehouses and industrial facilities typically have the largest roof space and the highest electric usage of any commercial property type — which usually means the strongest payback. We design for the specific roof structure and load capacity of large-format buildings.

Government Solar Contractor

Municipal and government facilities come with their own procurement rules, bonding requirements, and compliance standards. As a government solar contractor, we’re set up to navigate public-sector bidding and documentation requirements without slowing down your project timeline.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Talk to our team
What does a commercial solar EPC company actually do?

An EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) company handles system design, equipment sourcing, and installation all under one contract, instead of coordinating separate designers, suppliers, and installers yourself.

How is commercial solar different from residential solar?

Commercial systems are typically larger, involve different financing and incentive structures, and often require more complex engineering for large roofs, higher electrical loads, or ground-mount installations.

Can churches and nonprofits get incentives for solar installation?

Many nonprofits, including churches, have financing and incentive options available even though they can’t use the same tax credits as for-profit businesses. We help evaluate what’s available for your organization during the consultation.

How long does a commercial solar EPC project take?

Timelines vary by system size and permitting requirements, but most commercial projects move from initial assessment to activation within a few months, depending on utility interconnection timelines.

Do you work with government and municipal facilities?

Yes — we’re experienced navigating public-sector procurement, bidding, and compliance requirements for municipal and government solar projects.
