Why these buildings are strong candidates Schools, hospitals, offices and commercial buildings often use electricity during the day, which aligns well with solar generation. This can improve self-consumption and reduce purchased grid power. Safety and continuity matter Hospitals and critical facilities need careful separation of essential loads, generator integration awareness, protection design and shutdown planning. Schools and offices need safe cable routing and roof access management. Roof and maintenance planning Large roofs are useful only when structure, waterproofing, access and shade are handled correctly. A system that is hard to clean or inspect can lose performance over time.
