Commercial operations have the strongest solar case in Jamaica: businesses consume power precisely when panels produce it, so systems offset the most expensive kilowatt-hours directly — often pushing payback to the short end of the 3–5 year range.
Why daytime load = solar’s best friend
A shop’s refrigeration, an office’s AC and computers, a workshop’s machines — all run 9-to-5, exactly the solar window. Little storage is needed to capture huge savings, which keeps commercial system costs efficient per kWh offset.
Sizing commercial systems
Small business: a 10kW–12kW hybrid (J$350,000–J$430,000) with 8–12 panels handles shops and offices. Larger operations parallel multiple 12kW inverters and scale arrays into the dozens of panels — BTECH supplies from stock and installs with its own teams, island-wide. Add lithium storage (J$360,000–J$450,000/unit) where outage protection guards revenue: POS, cold chain, connectivity.
The business extras
Trade/volume pricing on multi-system projects, itemised final JMD quotes your accountant and lender will like, monitoring dashboards for facilities staff, and net billing applications handled for grid-tied sites.
