Guest occupancy, cooling, laundry and food service can produce overlapping energy requirements. Annual spend alone hides seasonal operations and demand peaks. A useful proposal separates these loads before recommending array and storage capacity.
Operational inputs that change the answer
Provide occupancy patterns, chilled-water or HVAC schedules, laundry hours and renovation plans. Review guest disruption, access and roof mechanical clearances with facility management. Backup equipment needs a separate critical-load and duration study.
What the financial review compares
Compare installed cost, purchased energy avoided, export compensation, maintenance, replacements and incentive eligibility. A scenario should show both unassisted economics and separately identified tax assumptions. Include financing obligations only in the applicable capital case.
Roof and utility checks before a proposal
Confirm roof ownership, useful remaining life and structural review needs. Select the utility from the bill and retain the tariff code. Square footage is an initial capacity constraint, not proof of structural suitability or interconnection capacity.
Request an industry-specific review
Start with the interactive scenario and share a recent bill. For a fuller preliminary model, add the annual billing history and operating schedule. The review should explain where additional engineering or interval data is needed.
What could solar change for your business?
Explore a free cash-ownership scenario. Send a bill for a preliminary financial review — the estimate itself is ungated.
Utility and roof selections help route your review. Rates and roof suitability are not inferred from these selections.
View and edit scenario assumptions
Demonstration assumptions: 12 W per usable sq ft; 1.5% annual maintenance; 0.5% annual degradation; 2% annual energy/maintenance escalation. No applied credit, depreciation, demand reduction, replacement cost or export revenue. A reviewed report must include project-specific replacements and tax timing.

Model assumptions & honest limits
- Illustrative cash-ownership model; not a tariff simulation or engineering proposal.
- All cost, yield and escalation defaults are demonstration assumptions, not sourced market quotes.
- Fixed charges, financing, property-tax savings and storage are excluded.
- Net operating savings are reduced by the entered effective tax rate; tax capacity and deductibility require review.
- Annual usage inferred from assumed energy-only share of spend; replace with bills.
- Export value is zero until applicable utility terms are confirmed.
- Tax benefits are zero until a project-specific schedule is confirmed.
Tax benefits start at zero pending project review. This estimate is not a quote, tariff simulation or guaranteed return.
