Commercial Solar Energy Program Solar Energy technology converts sunlight into electricity that can be used to power your business. Solar Energy systems are usually mounted on roofs; they are modular, easily expandable, create no noise or pollution and are reliable energy generators. An added benefit to solar energy systems is that they require low maintenance and have long service lives. Anaheim Public Utilities offers financial incentives for those who install solar energy systems at their business.
