Commercial & industrial
Understand what is driving your energy costs.
Your bill, operating hours and demand charges help show where solar or storage might fit. Start with those details, then compare the project cost, payment terms and effect on your operations.
Compare my options01Options to review
What each option meansfor your project.
Solar
Compare estimated production with your usage, available space and utility rate.
Storage
Review whether a battery could reduce peak demand or support selected loads during an outage.
Energy Strategy
Understand how utility rates, operating schedules and proposed contract terms affect your costs.
Capital Solutions
Compare available purchase, loan, lease and PPA terms against your budget and provider requirements.
Project Coordination
Identify the companies responsible for design, permits, installation, utility approval and service.
02How we approach it
What we check before recommending a project.
- Review usage and demand charges across your billing history before estimating a project's effect on costs.
- Compare upfront costs, total payments and provider requirements while planning the project.
- Confirm the installation scope, disruption to operations, written responsibilities and service contacts before proceeding.
03Before you commit
Know the cost, the coverage and who to call.
Ask for the full payment terms, warranty documents and named installation and service providers. Those details help you understand what you are agreeing to.
Production
Understand the estimate
Ask what the output estimate assumes about your roof, usage and utility. If a provider guarantees production, check the amount, conditions and remedy in the agreement.
Protection
Know who stands behind it
Equipment and installation coverage are separate. Review the manufacturer and installer documents for the term, exclusions, roof coverage, labor and the process for a claim.
Support
Responsibilities in writing
Know who to call for monitoring, repairs and unresolved issues. Confirm Iterum’s role and any ongoing support in your project agreement.
What goes into a comparison
How we evaluate a project
Illustrative examples, not completed projects or customer testimonials.
Residential rooftop + storage
Sacramento, CA
Example scenario: a household with a summer bill several times its winter bill, a recent time-of-use rate change, and two outages the previous year.
- What we evaluate
- Iterum would start with twelve months of billed usage and the current rate schedule, then look at roof age and orientation, evening load, and how much of the bill is actually shiftable into a battery.
- Options to compare
- Ownership with cash, financed ownership, and a third-party owned PPA — each with and without storage.
- How we weigh the options
- In a project like this the comparison considers available incentives, the full costs and how long the household intends to stay. If the roof needs work inside a few years, the honest answer may be to re-roof first and revisit.
- Why it could fit
- Storage is sized to the loads that matter during an outage rather than to the whole panel, and any incentives that apply are confirmed during analysis.
04Get started
Tell us about your property.
Start with your location and what you want to change. Have recent utility bills, your operating schedule and any existing project proposal ready for the conversation. We can then discuss commercial & industrial energy solutions, check availability and explain what needs to happen next.
