ONLY SOALR Offers a comprehensive lineup of intelligent PV solutions suitable for residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar plants. Our range of smart string PV inverters has a capacity from 3kW to 136kW, providing the perfect match for your solar energy needs.

Utility-Scale Solar Project is usually defined as such if it produces 10 megawatts (MW) or more of energy. For comparison, the average American household uses approximately 900 kWh (0.9 MWh) per month.

In some countries, like Australia, the residential sector is the fastest-growing solar PV project segment. And while going solar may still be perceived as an expensive energy solution accessible only to high-income households, the most significant growth down under appears to be occurring in low- and middle-income household segments. This should come as no surprise to the authors of Australia’s Rooftop Real Estate report, which found that households equipped with solar PV had electricity costs 20% lower than their non-PV counterparts.

Residential rooftop solar PV project types are the smallest in size, ranging from 5 to 20 kilowatts (0.005-0.2MW). Before installation, residential solar installers will typically conduct a feasibility study to determine factors such as total shade-free area, insolation, potential power output, and optimal panel orientation.

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) projects are an increasingly popular solution that enables builders to maximize energy efficiency through the integration of solar panels in unused commercial window space. BIPVs can effectively balance attractive design and efficient energy generation.

Solar technology providers have been the subject of criticism in the past for delivering solar array designs that were an ‘eyesore’. BIPV is a direct response to this criticism. It also happens to be one of the fastest-growing segments in the solar industry today.

Yet another effective way to increase energy efficiency in commercial building projects is through the construction of solar carports.

The most common types of installation for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) projects remain ground-mounted and rooftop solar systems. The size of these projects tends to be smaller than with utility-scale projects, hovering around 1-2 MW. Another key difference between utility-scale and C&I projects is the off-taker. Utility-scale projects primarily serve utility companies, whereas C&I projects supply power to corporate organizations and industrial plants.
