Commercial Solar on the South Shore — Honest, Local, Built for Massachusetts Businesses

I'm Dave Simmer, and since 2011 I've helped over 1,800 property owners across Massachusetts take control of their energy costs. When it comes to commercial solar—whether you own a small business, a farm, a warehouse, or a local office building—the goal is simple: turn a volatile operating expense into a fixed, predictable asset.

I run an independent, local operation. When you call, you get me. I'll take a hard look at your facility's energy profile, and if solar doesn't make sense for your property, I'll tell you that straight up. If it does, I'll show you exactly how the numbers pencil out.

Why This Matters for Your Business

• High utility rates hurt the bottom line. National Grid and Eversource rates in Massachusetts make solar one of the most reliable ways to cut overhead.
• The SMART program pays you. Commercial systems can qualify for Massachusetts' SMART program, providing a fixed per-kWh incentive for the power you generate.
• Federal tax benefits are still active. While the residential credit expired, commercial projects can still leverage the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) under Section 48E, plus MACRS depreciation. (I'm not a CPA, so always confirm specifics with your accountant.)

What I Actually Do

Commercial solar isn't a one-size-fits-all package. I start with a deep dive into your load profile and utility bills. I design the system from scratch to maximize your return on investment, whether that means a rooftop array or a ground mount.

My local, licensed crews handle the physical installation, and I personally manage the heavy lifting behind the scenes: municipal permitting, utility interconnection, and SMART program enrollment. You run your business; I'll get the solar built.

Honest Numbers and Real Qualification

Every commercial property is different, so I don't throw out fake guarantees or generic price ranges. We have to look at your roof structure, age, shading, and electrical infrastructure.

If your roof needs replacing in two years, or if heavy shading kills the production, I'll tell you that before we go any further. I want to build systems that perform, not sell you something that doesn't work.
