When this matters
- The business wants lower bills without overbuilding export capacity.
- Roof, transformer or connection constraints may govern the design.
- The solar project must remain compatible with later BESS.
C&I solar
Commercial solar designed around self-consumption and constraints
Compare realistic array sizes against daytime demand, roof and site constraints, grid conditions and future operating changes.

A controlled path from question to evidence
Question → evidence → decision → acceptance
Every scope states what is known, what remains open, who owns the dependency and how the result will be verified.

Zero-export does not mean “no obligations”
DOE DC2026-08-0017 distinguishes own-use zero-export solar from micro-solar. Connected zero-export installations require DU notification and effective export prevention; building-permit and ERC COC requirements depend on the category and stated exceptions. Do not apply household or micro-solar exemptions to an ordinary commercial project. We help map the actual site, owner and operating mode before a proposal becomes a commitment.
