Solar Means Business tracks U.S. solar photovoltaic (PV) installations that support commercial activities at U.S. facilities. The report focuses on America’s largest companies but includes available data for companies of all sizes. Systems can be located on-site and provide electricity to the facility directly, or off-site and offset grid electricity costs for a company through Virtual Net Metering, Physical and Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPA), Green Tariffs or similar arrangements.
Both company-owned and third party-owned (PPA or lease) systems are included. All projects included involve the direct purchase of electricity from a specific installation. Arrangements in which the commercial buyer is only purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a project, or the commercial entity is a Tax Equity investor on the project without consuming electricity from the project are not included. The rankings in this report represent systems operating by the end of March 2024.
