WattHub helps Tempe businesses and organizations evaluate, develop, and finance commercial solar projects based on their property, energy consumption, and financial goals. From rooftop solar and solar carports to battery storage and larger energy projects, our team helps organizations understand their options and develop a solution that makes sense for their property.
Tempe has a dense mix of office campuses, industrial properties, educational facilities, multifamily developments, retail centers, and hospitality businesses, all operating in an environment where cooling can contribute significantly to electricity demand.
For many of these properties, rooftops and parking areas provide an opportunity to generate electricity on site without requiring additional land.
WattHub evaluates the complete project before recommending a solution. That includes electricity consumption, available roof and parking space, utility considerations, system design, financing options, incentives, and projected long-term economics.
Depending on the facility, the right approach could include rooftop solar, solar carports, battery storage, or a combination of technologies designed around the property’s energy requirements.

Evaluate rooftop solar, solar carports, and energy storage opportunities across apartment and multifamily developments.

Is commercial solar worth it in Tempe?
Commercial solar can make sense for many Tempe businesses, particularly properties with significant daytime electricity consumption and available rooftop or parking space.
However, project economics depend on the individual property. Electricity usage, utility rates, installation costs, available space, financing, incentives, and system design should all be considered before moving forward.
How much does commercial solar cost in Tempe?
Commercial solar pricing varies based on system size, equipment, installation type, structural requirements, electrical infrastructure, and site conditions.
Rather than relying on a generic cost-per-system estimate, WattHub evaluates the property and proposed project to develop a more accurate estimate and financial model.
What types of Tempe properties are good candidates for commercial solar?
Office campuses, industrial facilities, schools, apartment communities, hotels, retail centers, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and other commercial properties can all be candidates.
Properties with high daytime electricity consumption or substantial usable rooftop and parking space are especially worth evaluating.
Are solar carports a good option for Tempe businesses?
Yes. Parking areas can represent a significant amount of unused solar-generating space on commercial properties.
Solar carports allow businesses and organizations to generate electricity while also providing shaded parking, an especially practical secondary benefit in Tempe’s hot climate.
Can Tempe schools and educational facilities install solar?
Yes. Educational facilities can evaluate rooftop solar, solar carports, battery storage, and other energy solutions across their campuses.
Large rooftops and parking areas can provide significant space for solar generation, while parking canopies can simultaneously create shade for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Can Tempe businesses combine solar with battery storage?
Yes. Battery storage can be incorporated into a new commercial solar project or evaluated as part of a broader energy strategy.
The value of storage depends on the property’s electricity usage, peak demand, rate structure, resilience goals, and other operational considerations.
What financing options are available for commercial solar?
Potential commercial solar financing structures can include direct ownership, loans, power purchase agreements, and other arrangements depending on the organization and project.
WattHub helps businesses compare available approaches based on upfront investment, ownership preferences, projected savings, and long-term economics.
Are incentives available for commercial solar projects in Tempe?
Commercial solar projects may qualify for federal tax incentives and other programs depending on the technology, project structure, ownership, location, and current regulations.
Because incentive programs and eligibility requirements can change, WattHub evaluates applicable opportunities during project development.
