Discover the Right Generator Solution: Commercial and Solar Generators

Both commercial generators and solar power backup generators provide reliable energy backup solutions, but they serve different needs. The table below outlines their key differences in requirements, power capacity, benefits, and considerations.

Feature Commercial Generators Solar Power Backup Generators
Primary Use Businesses, industrial sites, large facilities Homes, small businesses, off-grid locations
Power Source Diesel, natural gas, or propane Solar energy stored in battery banks
Capacity High-output systems that can power entire buildings or critical equipment Typically lower capacity, best for essential appliances and partial backup
Installation Requirements Requires fuel lines, electrical integration, and compliance with CA regulations It needs solar panels, inverters, and battery storage
Operational Costs Ongoing fuel expenses and maintenance costs Minimal ongoing costs after installation
Environmental Impact Uses fossil fuels, higher emissions 100% renewable, zero emissions
Best For Businesses that need full power backup to prevent downtime and revenue loss Homes and small businesses looking for cost-effective, sustainable backup power
Financial Incentives Limited incentives; costs vary based on fuel type Qualifies for California SGIP rebates and federal solar tax credits
Resilience in Long Outages Unlimited runtime with available fuel Limited by battery storage capacity; may need additional panels for extended power

iconFact: Businesses can lose an average of $100,000 to $1 Million during power outages. A properly installed commercial generator prevents these losses and ensures continued operations.

man

I hired A&G electric to install solar panels on the roof of my house. Prior to work starting, I received a consultation regarding the number of panels needed to cover my energy costs and what was doable given my existing electric panel. I then received a detailed proposal where costs, number of panels, and expected solar output were outlined. The team was very punctual and completed work on time as promised. After the installation, they made sure everything was functional and the grid showed up on the phone app, which can be used to monitor the system. Some time after the work was done, I had questions about permits as well as grid output, and the team was extremely responsive and helpful. As described above, my experience with A&G Electric was great and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for quality solar installation work.

A&G Electric made the entire solar installation process seamless. Scheduling, inspections, and the install were handled with great professionalism, and they even replaced a few broken roof tiles—an unexpected but much-appreciated touch. Their quote was clear and easy to understand, outlining exactly what I was getting, expected savings, and my return on investment (ROI). This transparency gave me full confidence in moving forward. The app training was simple and thorough, and their excellent customer service kept me informed every step of the way. Safe practices throughout gave me peace of mind. Best of all, my electric bills have dropped significantly! I highly recommend A&G Electric for their expertise, attention to detail, and outstanding service.
