Commercial enterprises want to see a faster return rate than currently possible. They continue to hold this opinion even though the rates for installing a photovoltaic system have continued to decrease substantially in cost since 2010. Moreover, they are ignoring the obvious benefits accrued from the installation of a solar system.
