Top Solar Installers for Columbus Businesses

As a business owner in Columbus, you know every dollar counts. That's why more companies—from banks to warehouses—are investing in commercial solar panel installation. The potential savings are substantial, and the incentives are better than ever. But choosing the right installer is critical.

Why Columbus Businesses Are Turning to Solar

Going solar isn’t just about reducing your electric bill. It’s about:

  • Locking in predictable energy costs

  • Taking advantage of federal tax credits and accelerated depreciation

  • Boosting your sustainability efforts

  • Improving energy independence and resilience

And if you're in AEP territory or running a facility that's facing high demand charges, batteries can dramatically reduce your peak load costs—even without solar.

What Sets BC Solar Apart

BC Solar isn’t a cookie-cutter solar company. We’re a Columbus-based, owner-operated team led by Brian Zaayer, and we approach every commercial project with:

  • Custom Design: No generic layouts. Your system is designed for your building, your energy usage, and your financial goals.

  • Battery Expertise: We specialize in solar battery systems that protect your operations during outages and reduce demand charges.

  • Honest Communication: You’ll always know what you’re paying for, what it saves you, and how quickly you’ll see a return.

We’ve helped clients shave thousands off their electric bills—and in some cases, the government covered more than half the cost of the system thanks to tax credits and MACRS depreciation.

What Local Business Owners Say

"So glad we found BC Solar. Brian was really friendly and helped us understand the system options without the hard sell. The installation went smoothly and everything works as promised." – Paul N.

"Brian provided several options based on our budget. He never pushed—just educated. We’ve since expanded our system and couldn’t be happier." – Megan C.

The Bottom Line: Expertise Matters

Your commercial solar project is too important to trust to a one-size-fits-all provider. At BC Solar, we’re here to design a system that works for your business today—and adapts as you grow.

Let’s talk numbers. Let’s talk savings. Let’s talk energy independence.


FAQ

How much can I save by installing solar panels at my business in Columbus?
Savings vary by system size and usage, but many businesses see ROI in 4–6 years. With battery storage and demand charge management, the returns can be even faster.

Can I install commercial solar without a battery?
Yes—but batteries can help you avoid demand charges and keep your operations running during outages. We offer both options.

What incentives are available for commercial solar in Ohio?
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), MACRS depreciation, and local grants can significantly offset upfront costs. We’ll walk you through all your options.

Do I need a new roof before installing solar?
Not always. We’ll evaluate your existing roof as part of our proposal and let you know what’s needed.
