BC Solar Expands Residential and Commercial Solar Installation Services Across Ohio

BC Solar, a locally owned and community-driven solar energy provider, is proud to announce the expansion of its solar installation services across Ohio. Headquartered in Columbus, the company now serves homeowners, businesses, and organizations throughout the Buckeye State with trusted, affordable, and expertly designed solar energy systems.

Founded and operated by Brian Zaayer, BC Solar is known for its honesty, transparency, and practical solutions in the solar industry. Whether it’s a residential solar installation in Columbus or a commercial solar system in Cincinnati, the company delivers high-performance solar projects that reflect its values: doing the right thing, building trust, and protecting what matters.

“Our mission is simple,” says Zaayer. “We help Ohioans reduce their electric bills, gain energy independence, and take care of their families or businesses with solar systems that are built to last.”


Why Ohio Is Ready for Solar

With rising electric rates, increased outages, and stronger incentives, there’s never been a better time to go solar in Ohio.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Ohioans pay some of the highest electricity bills in the Midwest. Factor in summer storms and winter grid stress, and it’s no surprise that homeowners and businesses are looking for sustainable energy they can control.

BC Solar makes it easy for them to make that switch.


Complete Solar Installations—Tailored to You

BC Solar handles every part of the process in-house:

  • Site evaluation & energy analysis

  • Custom solar system design

  • Local permitting & inspections

  • System installation

  • Monitoring & support

  • Solar battery integration (optional)

Each system is designed based on your roof, energy use, goals, and budget. BC Solar doesn’t do cookie-cutter systems—and never pressures clients into unneeded upgrades.

From start to finish, you’ll be working directly with a team that lives and works in Ohio—not a national call center or sales team.


Residential Solar Installation in Ohio

Ohio homeowners are choosing solar not just to save money, but to invest in their future.

BC Solar residential systems are designed for:

  • Lower monthly electric bills

  • Long-term savings (20+ years)

  • Energy independence

  • Backup power options with solar battery storage

  • Higher home resale value

  • Federal tax credits and local incentives

With a full-service installation that includes all permits and interconnection applications, homeowners can relax knowing their system is in good hands.

“I was referred to Brian by a neighbor,” says one Columbus homeowner. “No sales pitch. Just honest answers, a fair quote, and a crew that did great work. We’re saving $140 a month on our electric bill.”


Commercial Solar Systems for Ohio Businesses

BC Solar also offers commercial solar installation for businesses across Ohio—including:

  • Banks

  • Grocery stores

  • Office buildings

  • Industrial warehouses

  • Municipal buildings

  • Churches and nonprofits

For many Ohio businesses, solar delivers powerful financial benefits:

  • Reduced operational costs

  • Attractive ROI

  • Federal tax credit (up to 30%)

  • MACRS depreciation

  • Energy cost predictability

  • Brand and sustainability benefits

Commercial clients can also benefit from BC Solar’s battery solutions, which reduce peak demand charges—a major part of commercial utility bills in Ohio.

“We saved a local bank chain more than half a million dollars in demand charges and electric costs,” Zaayer notes. “That’s real money staying in Ohio communities.”


Transparent Pricing and Financing Options

BC Solar believes in straightforward, honest pricing. They never bundle costs into vague monthly payments or gimmicky “no upfront cost” packages.

Instead, they educate clients on:

  • System size and production

  • Cost per watt

  • Tax credit eligibility

  • Estimated ROI and break-even point

  • Financing options (loans, HELOCs, and more)

The result? Informed homeowners and business owners who trust their investment—and their installer.


Battery Storage: Take Solar to the Next Level

Increasingly, Ohio homeowners are combining solar panel installation with solar battery backup systems to ensure uninterrupted power when the grid fails.

BC Solar offers flexible battery options, including:

  • Whole home backup systems

  • Critical load backup

  • Time-of-use optimization

  • Solar+Storage integration

  • Standalone battery systems

Using Sol-Ark hybrid inverters, BC Solar builds modular systems that grow with your needs and allow for true off-grid potential.

Whether you’re in Columbus, Dublin, Cleveland, or Dayton, battery storage adds resilience and long-term value to your system.


Solar Incentives in Ohio

Homeowners and businesses in Ohio are eligible for multiple incentives, including:

  • Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 30% credit on total system cost

  • MACRS Depreciation (for businesses): Accelerated depreciation tax savings

  • Net Metering: Earn credit for excess energy sent back to the grid (varies by utility)

  • SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits): Income stream for solar producers in select markets

  • Property tax exemptions: In some jurisdictions, solar may not raise assessed value

BC Solar helps clients apply for all available incentives to maximize savings.
