Can Solar Help With Sustainability Certifications?

Absolutely. At BC Solar, we’ve helped commercial clients across Columbus and Central Ohio align their energy strategies with broader sustainability goals — and solar is a key part of that.

Installing a commercial solar energy system can directly support certifications like:

• LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

• ENERGY STAR

• Green Globes

• WELL Building Standard

• BREEAM

These programs often award points or credits for on-site renewable energy systems. Solar contributes to categories like energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and innovation in design.

We Provide the Documentation You Need

BC Solar doesn’t just install solar panels — we support you through the certification process. Our team provides:

• Detailed system performance data

• Utility interconnection records

• Emissions offset documentation

• Battery storage specifications (if included)

• Maintenance and monitoring protocols

This documentation can be submitted for credit toward certification goals, helping you stay compliant and earn recognition.

More Than Paperwork: A Smart Business Move

Going solar isn't just about certifications — it's also about smart business. Here's how:

• Lower your energy costs with a predictable long-term electricity rate.

• Attract eco-conscious clients and investors who value sustainability.

• Reinforce your ESG commitments (Environmental, Social, and Governance).

• Increase your property’s value with an energy-efficient infrastructure upgrade.

In a market where transparency and sustainability matter, your solar installation is more than a badge — it’s a trust signal.

FAQ

How much documentation does BC Solar provide for certification programs?

Can I install solar without a full certification pursuit?
Absolutely. Even if you’re not pursuing LEED or similar recognition, solar helps you meet internal sustainability benchmarks and stakeholder expectations.

Do I need battery storage for sustainability certifications?
Not always — but batteries can improve your resilience and may support energy reliability or innovation credits in some programs.
