“We have multiple projects with CalCom. They understand our industry and their product knowledge is top-notch. …Anybody who I have communication with when we’re planning, when they’re constructing, or when we’re talking about different ideas are very knowledgeable about their product. They’re very knowledgeable about the solar industry. It’s nice to lean on them.”
Pac-Ag
“They listened to what our challenges were. Their team of people came out and visited the dairy, looked around, and came up with solutions that I wouldn’t have come up with myself.”
Bar 20 Dairy
“Working with the CalCom Operations & Maintenance department has been beneficial. Through remote diagnostics, we were able to eliminate the need for a lengthy warranty contract. The attentive customer service and remote capabilities allowed us to save money through the lifetime of the solar system.”
Lakeside Dairy
“CalCom Energy is one of the only agriculture-based solar companies that has proven experience installing single-axis trackers. Their partnership with NEXTracker and their knowledge of single-axis tracking technology and net metering aggregation projects gave me the confidence to move forward with them.”
Pac-Ag
“They are engaged in the arena. That’s what I liked about CalCom. They have Valley guys who understand ag and have ag connections in some way. It’s not just “We have some solar that will save you money.’ They look at what we do and how we operate and say, ‘This could help in this manner because of this.’ They understood that it’s a partnership. ‘How do we work through wet years?’ They understood our operations.”
“CalCom Energy was a great pick for our solar project. Initially we received a $300,000+ interconnection invoice from PG&E. But thanks to CalCom, who advocated on our behalf with the CPUC, we were able to eliminate the SCADA recloser requirement and save our dairy over $150,000 in PG&E interconnection costs. This was a big win for Ag customers and Dairies looking to install solar. We are appreciative of the customer advocacy work CalCom does and would absolutely recommend CalCom to other dairymen.”

Solar Energy & Storage Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of installing commercial solar panels?
Installing commercial solar panels helps businesses save on energy bills, reduce their carbon footprint, and access significant tax incentives like the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC).
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels capture sunlight using silicon semiconductor cells and convert it into Direct Current (DC) electricity. An inverter then transforms DC power into Alternating Current (AC) power for commercial use.
How long do solar panels last?
Commercial solar panels generally last 30 years or more with proper care. CalCom Energy installs panels with 20- to 25-year warranties to ensure long-term reliability.
How do energy storage systems enhance commercial solar?
Energy storage systems, like batteries, store excess solar energy for use during peak pricing hours or outages, reducing grid reliance and maximizing cost savings. They also help lower demand charges and improve energy reliability for your business.
Can I add energy storage to my solar system later?
Yes, energy storage can be seamlessly added to existing commercial solar systems as energy needs evolve.
Will solar provide backup power to my business during an outage?
Standard solar systems shut off during grid outages, but adding energy storage systems ensures reliable backup power and keeps operations running smoothly.
How much does it cost to install commercial solar panels?
The cost varies depending on system size, location, and energy needs. CalCom Energy provides customized quotes to help you determine the best solution.
What financing options are available?
CalCom Energy offers flexible financing, including cash purchases, solar loans, leases, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). We work with you to find the most cost-effective option.
What solar incentives are available?
The 30% federal ITC allows businesses to deduct a significant portion of their system costs. Additional state/local rebates and incentives, as well as accelerated depreciation (MACRS), can further reduce costs.
How much maintenance does a solar system require?
Commercial solar systems require minimal upkeep, with annual maintenance recommended. CalCom Energy’s real-time monitoring ensures performance and identifies issues proactively.
Does weather affect solar production?
Yes, solar panels produce less energy on cloudy days but still generate power. CalCom models historic weather data to ensure accurate energy output estimates.
What are the environmental benefits of commercial solar?
Commercial solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, minimizes dependence on fossil fuels, and promotes clean, renewable energy—helping businesses lower their carbon footprint.
Can nonprofit organizations benefit from solar incentives?
Yes, nonprofits can utilize Direct Pay options from the Inflation Reduction Act, allowing them to receive cash payments in place of tax credits. Leasing and PPAs are also excellent solutions for nonprofits.
