FLORIDA COMMERCIAL SOLAR · REGIONTampa Bay Commercial Solar ROI
For commercial properties across Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco, the strongest solar proposal begins with the utility account and the way the building operates. Build a preliminary scenario, then request a bill-based review designed around your property.
Start with the meter serving the building
Do not label every Tampa Bay facility a TECO customer. Ask for the bill at each service address. Manufacturing process loads, warehouse lighting, refrigeration and office cooling can sit on different meters, so a campus total alone cannot establish savings.
Industrial roof readiness
For a warehouse park in Hillsborough or Pinellas, document roof age, membrane warranty, tenant lease terms and which entity pays each electric account. Review loading areas, fire access, drainage, skylights and planned roof replacement before treating gross roof area as usable solar area.
What to provide for a useful review
Include the service address, utility name, tariff code, twelve months of bills when available, roof type and approximate roof area. Tell us whether the property is owner occupied, tenant occupied or under a management agreement. Local project screening considers industrial warehouses, manufacturers and logistics parks. Utility choices may include Tampa Electric, Duke Energy Florida and other local providers; confirm from the actual bill.
Compare the capital paths
Cash ownership, financing and a PPA allocate costs and benefits differently. Request separate cash-flow schedules rather than comparing a loan payment with gross bill savings. The owner of an eligible system may have tax benefits; a PPA customer does not claim the provider’s ownership credits.
Move from scenario to documented inputs
Use the regional estimator below, then send utility records through the secure bill workflow. We identify missing data before treating an estimate as a reviewed model. Site access, roof records and an authorized account representative help move the next step forward.

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.
Questions about this review
Do you have an office in Tampa Bay?
This page describes a geographic service-interest area. See the contact page for verified business and partner details; no branch office is implied.
Will solar eliminate demand charges?
No reduction is guaranteed. Demand charges require tariff and interval-data analysis; storage requires a dispatch study.
