BC Solar Rolls Out Custom Commercial Solar Systems for Warehouses, Offices, and Industrial Properties Across Ohio

Columbus, OH – BC Solar, a trusted local energy provider, is expanding its services with a new focus on custom commercial solar systems for warehouses, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities throughout Ohio. These systems integrate high-performance solar inverters, battery backup for commercial operations, and scalable PV arrays designed to fit the unique needs of each business.

Whether a company is looking to slash operating costs, avoid peak demand charges, or prepare for future grid instability, BC Solar is delivering tailored energy solutions backed by honesty, technical expertise, and long-term support.

“One-size-fits-all doesn’t work in commercial solar,” said Brian Zaayer, founder and owner of BC Solar. “We engineer every commercial solar system to match the building, the business model, and the energy strategy. That’s how we protect your investment and maximize results.”


Why More Ohio Companies Are Choosing Custom Commercial Solar

From warehouses in Westerville to manufacturers in Marysville, commercial property owners are seeing real ROI from solar. But as Zaayer explains, success in commercial solar requires more than just panels.

“Anyone can bolt panels to a roof. What matters is how well that system integrates with your operations. That’s where BC Solar makes the difference,” he said.

BC Solar’s commercial solar systems include:

  • Precision-engineered PV systems for business
  • Grid-tied and hybrid designs with load optimization
  • High-efficiency solar inverters for commercial use
  • Integrated battery backup systems
  • Ongoing system monitoring and support
  • Full permitting, rebate filing, and documentation

Each system is designed to achieve specific goals—whether reducing monthly utility bills, gaining tax advantages, or building energy independence.


Real Results for Warehouses and Industrial Buildings

Warehouses and logistics centers are among the best candidates for solar due to large, flat rooftops and high energy use during daylight hours.

BC Solar’s systems for solar for warehouses are custom-fit to maximize that roof space and offset significant portions of the facility’s electric bill. These buildings often use electric HVAC systems, forklifts, refrigeration, and lighting—all of which add up to major energy demand.

A Recent Warehouse Installation Example:

  • Location: Grove City, OH
  • System Size: 220 kW
  • Panels: Tier-1 PV modules with commercial-grade inverters
  • Battery Backup: 120 kWh system for outage protection
  • Annual Energy Offset: 65%
  • Estimated Savings Over 25 Years: $700,000+

“We helped this client go from unpredictable utility bills to reliable monthly savings,” said Zaayer. “Plus, their battery system now gives them resilience when the grid goes down.”


Power and Protection with Commercial Battery Backup

One of the most in-demand features for Ohio businesses today is battery backup for commercial solar systems.

BC Solar designs and installs energy storage solutions that:

  • Keep operations running during power outages
  • Eliminate costly peak demand charges
  • Allow time-of-use energy shifting (charge low, discharge high)
  • Create partial or full off-grid capability
  • Integrate seamlessly with solar and inverter systems

Batteries aren’t just for backup anymore—they’re a strategic tool for cost control and business continuity.

“Ohio’s grid has had more frequent outages and brownouts. We help businesses stay operational when others can’t,” Zaayer noted.

BC Solar is also battery-agnostic, meaning they work with multiple brands and technologies to find the best fit for your operation—not just what’s easiest for them to sell.


Advanced Solar Inverter Technology Maximizes Output

At the heart of every commercial solar system is the solar inverter—the technology that converts the sun’s energy into usable electricity. Choosing the wrong inverter can bottleneck performance, lower savings, or cause reliability issues.

BC Solar specializes in advanced solar inverter commercial systems, including:

  • Central inverters for large arrays
  • Microinverters for complex roof layouts
  • Hybrid inverters that manage both PV and batteries
  • Inverter clustering for load balancing and redundancy

All systems include remote performance monitoring, alert capabilities, and integration with existing energy infrastructure.

“A commercial inverter isn’t just a box—it’s the brain of the system. We make sure it’s smart, scalable, and serviceable,” said Zaayer.


PV Systems for Business That Pay Off

Every BC Solar system includes a detailed financial breakdown so business owners can clearly see their solar ROI. The average commercial solar system in Ohio pays for itself in 4 to 8 years, depending on building size, energy use, and incentives.

With a lifespan of 25+ years, most systems provide decades of free electricity after the payback period.

BC Solar helps businesses apply for:

  • 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
  • Accelerated depreciation (MACRS or bonus)
  • Utility-level incentives and rebates
  • Local and state programs (where applicable)

For businesses, this isn’t just about sustainability—it’s a smart investment.

“When you combine tax incentives, depreciation, and savings, solar becomes one of the strongest returns you can make on your property,” Zaayer said.


Custom Solar Solutions Built Around Your Business

No two buildings or businesses are the same. That’s why BC Solar leads with custom solar solutions, not prebuilt kits or sales-driven templates.

Whether you run:

  • A multi-tenant office building
  • A temperature-controlled warehouse
  • A high-load manufacturing facility
  • A retail plaza or auto dealership
  • An agricultural operation

…BC Solar builds a system that matches your load profile, layout, and budget.

Every system is designed in-house and installed by BC Solar’s own licensed technicians—no third-party subcontractors, no handoffs, no hidden surprises.

“We oversee every detail—from engineering to the final bolt,” said Zaayer. “It’s your system. It should be done right.”
