Commercial Solar PV System Installation
Take advantage of solar power generation without the risk of a leaking roof or the headaches of bureaucratic paperwork. We provide non-penetrative installation on flat and low slope roofs, pre- and post-installation roof inspections, ground mount installations, and handle all of the permitting and interconnection paperwork.
Commercial Solar Operation & Maintenance Plans

When we detect problems we’ll send a technician to troubleshoot and repair the issue before it interrupts your operations. If you have an existing solar PV system which needs repair, our expert technicians can get your system back up and running, even if it was installed by a third party.

About Colite Technologies
Colite Technologies began within Colite International’s research and development division as an idea for helping companies power their signage with renewable energy. The project then evolved into its own organization helping companies improve their energy efficiency, transition to renewable energy sources, and meet their sustainability goals. However, we still maintain strong ties with Colite International and both companies are able to leverage each other’s strengths.
We are based in Columbia, South Carolina and proudly employ an in-house team of engineers. Our portfolio of sustainable energy solutions include LED retrofits, renewable lighting systems, solar PV installations, and long-term maintenance plans for solar systems.
