Matching Rooftop Solar PV with Commercial Load Profiles

Commercial rooftop PV projects usually aim to increase self-consumption and reduce daytime electricity cost. Oversizing can cause low consumption and a longer payback period.

Recommended evaluation method

  • Compare daytime load on weekdays and weekends.
  • Confirm whether surplus power can be exported and how it is settled.
  • Estimate whether EV chargers, storage or new production equipment will be added.

A practical plan often starts with stable self-consumption, then expands according to tariff, storage and charging needs.
