#Why Commercial Solar Quotes Vary So Much
Two quotes can both say “commercial solar system” and still be completely different in real-world performance and cost.
Common reasons pricing varies:
-
Different system sizes (kW) or different layouts on the roof
-
Different production assumptions (some are optimistic)
-
Different equipment (commercial solar panels / commercial PV panels and inverter models)
-
Different inclusions (monitoring, compliance, switchboard, protections, grid requirements)
-
Different workmanship + warranty coverage
-
Different after-install support (who checks performance and who fixes issues)
If you’re comparing commercial solar panel cost or commercial solar installation cost, make sure you’re comparing the same scope—not just the headline number.
#Rebates, Incentives & Finance
When you’re comparing commercial solar quotes, the headline price doesn’t tell the whole story.
Your real cost and ROI can change depending on:
-
rebates or incentives that may apply (based on eligibility and system size)
-
depreciation and potential tax benefits
-
finance structure and repayments
-
whether the system is designed to maximise daytime usage and savings
Sharp EIT can factor these into your quote so you can compare options based on cashflow and payback, not just upfront cost.
#Quick Checklist — What Every Commercial Quote Should Clearly Show
Use this to compare any quote you receive.
-
System size (kW)
-
Expected annual production (kWh)
-
Savings estimate + assumptions used
-
Panel model + warranty (not just the brand)
-
Inverter model + warranty
-
Monitoring included (yes/no)
-
Electrical scope included (switchboards, protections, cabling)
-
Approvals & compliance included
-
Exclusions clearly listed
-
Support after install
-
Rebates/incentives considered (if applicable)
-
Finance option included (if requested)
If any of these are missing or vague, it’s difficult to compare like-for-like.
#FAQs: Comparing Commercial Solar Quotes
Compare system size, production assumptions, inclusions/exclusions, compliance scope, monitoring, warranties, and after-install support—not just price.
Cost varies by roof complexity, compliance/switchboard requirements, system design, equipment selection, and what’s included in scope.
At minimum: system size, production estimate and assumptions, equipment model details, monitoring scope, compliance/switchboard scope, exclusions, and warranty terms.
A good commercial solar quote should include more than just a price. It should clearly outline:
-
The total system size (in kW)
-
Panel and inverter brands with model numbers
-
Estimated energy production and savings
-
System warranties (product and performance)
-
Any eligible rebates or STCs applied
-
Installation timeline and scope of works
-
Monitoring options and post-installation support
At Sharp EIT Solutions, we provide detailed, transparent quotes so you know exactly what you're getting — with no hidden costs and no rushed decisions.
Getting the cheapest quote doesn’t always mean you’re getting the best value. A good deal should balance price, quality, performance, and long-term support.
To assess if your quote is competitive:
-
Check whether Tier 1 panels and proven inverters are being used
-
Confirm what’s included in the price — and what’s not
-
Review the warranties and monitoring options
-
Ask whether rebates are applied and accurately calculated
-
Make sure the installer is reputable, experienced, and offers service beyond installation
Still unsure? Sharp EIT Solutions can review your third-party quote for free and let you know if you're being offered a fair deal - or if you could get better long-term value with us.
Panel model, warranty terms, performance characteristics, and system design suitability. “Brand only” isn’t enough to compare properly.
Some include basic monitoring; others provide commercial-grade monitoring with alerts and reporting. Always confirm what you’re actually getting.
