WattHub helps Gilbert businesses and organizations evaluate, develop, and finance commercial solar projects based on their property, energy usage, and financial goals. From rooftop solar and solar carports to battery storage and larger energy projects, WattHub helps organizations understand their options and develop commercial solar solutions around their specific facilities.
Gilbert’s continued commercial growth has brought a diverse mix of healthcare facilities, office properties, retail centers, industrial businesses, schools, and other organizations to the area. Combined with Arizona’s abundant sunshine and significant cooling demands, these properties can present strong opportunities for commercial solar.
Large rooftops, parking lots, and available land can all potentially be used to generate electricity on site.
WattHub helps businesses determine whether those opportunities translate into a financially viable project. We evaluate electricity consumption, available space, utility considerations, system design, financing options, available incentives, and projected long-term economics before recommending a solution.
Depending on the property, the right approach could include rooftop solar, solar carports, ground-mounted solar, battery storage, or a combination of technologies.

Is commercial solar worth it in Gilbert?
Commercial solar can make financial sense for many Gilbert properties, especially facilities with substantial daytime electricity consumption and available rooftop, parking, or land space.
The actual economics depend on electricity usage, utility rates, installation costs, system size, financing, incentives, and other property-specific factors. WattHub evaluates these variables before recommending a project.
How much does commercial solar cost in Gilbert?
The cost of commercial solar varies considerably based on system size, installation type, equipment, structural requirements, electrical infrastructure, and site conditions.
A rooftop solar system will have different design and construction requirements than a solar carport or ground-mounted array. WattHub develops estimates and financial projections around the individual project rather than relying on a generic system cost.
What types of Gilbert properties are good candidates for commercial solar?
Healthcare facilities, office buildings, industrial properties, retail centers, schools, churches, multifamily communities, warehouses, and other commercial properties can all be candidates.
Properties with significant daytime energy consumption or substantial amounts of usable roof, parking, or land area are especially worth evaluating.
Are solar carports a good option for Gilbert businesses?
Yes. Solar carports allow businesses to use parking areas for electricity generation while simultaneously providing shade.
For offices, shopping centers, schools, healthcare facilities, multifamily communities, and other properties with large parking lots, this can make productive use of space already available on the property.
Can Gilbert businesses combine solar with battery storage?
Yes. Battery energy storage can be incorporated into a commercial solar project or evaluated separately.
The value of battery storage depends on factors such as the property’s electricity consumption, peak demand, utility rate structure, resilience requirements, and operational goals.
Can industrial properties in Gilbert use commercial solar?
Yes. Industrial and manufacturing facilities can be particularly interesting candidates because they may combine substantial daytime electricity usage with large rooftops or available land.
WattHub can evaluate the facility’s energy profile and available space to determine what type and size of solar installation may be appropriate.
What commercial solar financing options are available?
Potential options can include direct ownership, commercial solar loans, power purchase agreements, and other financing structures depending on the project and organization.
WattHub helps businesses compare potential approaches based on upfront investment, ownership preferences, projected savings, and overall project economics.
Are incentives available for commercial solar projects in Gilbert?
Commercial solar projects may qualify for federal tax incentives and other programs depending on the project, technology, ownership structure, location, and regulations in effect at the time.
Because incentive programs and requirements can change, WattHub evaluates applicable opportunities as part of the project development process.
