Your electricity cost line — you can steer it instead of enduring it
On a business site, solar isn't a showpiece: it's a production asset, paid back in 3 to 5 years, that then delivers for more than twenty years. In El Jadida, 17,04 kWc are tracked continuously with real-time production monitoring. The sizing, though, starts from your load curves — not from a template.

Where do you see yourself?
Four site types, one load logic
01
Warehouse / plant
Every kWh enters the cost price of a manufactured part. A wide, flat roof pays for itself in 3 to 5 years and produces exactly when the machines are running — production lands when demand is there.
- Financial line
- An operating cost that becomes an asset paid off in 3 to 5 years
- Technical line
- Wide, flat roof · install with no production stoppage
Proof: El Jadida, 17,04 kWc, tracked with real-time production monitoring
02
Agro-industrial shed
Drying, cold storage, processing: an agricultural shed consumes in broad daylight, exactly when the sun gives. The roof, already there, costs nothing extra to use — it carries the panels without eating a square metre of ground.
- Financial line
- Zero extra land tied up — the existing roof funds the structure
- Technical line
- Galvanised steel structure, 20-year warranty · no ground surface lost
Proof: galvanised steel structure, 20-year warranty, mounted on the existing roof
03
Retail / hospitality
Air conditioning in the afternoon, laundry in the morning, pool pumps running non-stop: a shop or hotel's curve hugs the sun's, hour for hour. Solar comes to cap a cost item that climbs every season.
- Financial line
- Caps a cost line that climbs every tourist season
- Technical line
- Consumption curve tracks sunshine, hour for hour
Proof: 3-to-5-year payback, the same load logic as industry
04
Public sites
A public building or clinic tolerates no outage. Hybrid inverters plus batteries hold the critical equipment through grid dips, and by day the bill drops on the rest of the building.
- Financial line
- Lowers the building bill while securing continuity of service
- Technical line
- Hybrid inverters + batteries · continuity on critical equipment
Proof: Deye/Huawei hybrid inverters, 10-year warranty
Price transparency
What budget to expect for a business site
For a business site, the investment starts around 130 000 MAD and pays back in 3 à 5 ans, for the self-consumed share — the kWc installed there typically comes out cheaper than residential thanks to the continuous roof surface.
Indicative ranges for a business roof — never a quote. The real costing locks onto your load curves and the conditions of your connection. On a large warehouse roof, each kWc installed comes out cheaper than in residential: the more continuous the surface, the lower the unit cost, so the range below sits beneath the one on the Residential page.
Cumulative saving over 20 years (estimated): 520 000 MAD – 2 200 000 MAD
Real example: ref. 468 — 17,04 kWc, El Jadida, April 2026
Cumulative saving over 20 years (estimated): 1 040 000 MAD – 7 330 000 MAD
Two possible structures
Purchase (CAPEX) or leasing (OPEX): what changes structurally
The named boxes (banks, rates, contracts) live on the Financing & returns page once verified. Here, just the mechanics — who owns, who books depreciation, what it does to your day-one cash.
| Criterion | Purchase (CAPEX) | Leasing (OPEX) |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the installation | Your company, from commissioning | The lessor for the contract term; end-of-contract buyout option depending on the structure |
| Who books the depreciation | Your company, as a fixed asset on its balance sheet (see the tax section below) | The lessor; you book the rent as an operating expense |
| Day-one cash impact | Immediate cash outflow (or on loan drawdown if financed) | No upfront cash outflow — a periodic rent replaces the avoided bill |

Law 82-21 · medium voltage
Make every exported kilowatt-hour pay
Law 82-21 sets the framework for self-generation and for the surplus sent back to the grid. In medium voltage, the study separates from the outset what you consume on site from what you inject, on the terms of your connection agreement. The idea fits in one line: that a kilowatt-hour produced on your site never leaves without something in return.
Which law 82-21 regime your site falls under
Power decides. Up to 5 MW in low or medium voltage, a simple connection agreement with the grid operator is enough. Cross the 5 MW threshold — medium, high or very high voltage — and you move into the authorisation regime. In both cases, we assemble the technical file and carry it through to commissioning.
The two tax levers nobody cites
Import VAT and depreciation: what the CGI says
Two real, checkable law articles work in favour of a business solar installation recorded as a fixed asset on your company's books. These are not terms Taqinor negotiated — they are provisions of the Code Général des Impôts, open to any company that meets the conditions.
CGI · art. 123-22°
Import VAT exemption
An investment good recorded as a fixed asset, imported by a VAT-registered company within 36 months of starting its activity, is exempt from VAT — subject to constituting the guarantees required by the tax authorities.
Depreciation
20 years, straight-line, 5 % a year
A solar installation is depreciated for accounting purposes like a standard production asset: straight-line over 20 years, i.e. 5 % of its value deducted from taxable income each year — the same horizon as our installations' structural warranty.
Subject to verification (legal skim in progress): the most recent finance law extends, for certain companies bound by a state convention, the import VAT exemption window beyond the standard 36 months — a point that does not apply the same way to every company. Confirm your exact situation with your accountant before any decision.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions — business solar
Maintenance frequency
Does a business site need particular maintenance?
Real-time production monitoring runs continuously across the whole fleet and triggers an alert on our side before you notice anything. A scheduled maintenance visit can be added as a contract; the exact cadence, response time and price are still pending founder validation — no figure is published until it is settled. See the Maintenance & monitoring page.
How the price is calculated
How is the price for a business site calculated?
The costing is set on your load curves and on your grid-connection conditions, never on a generic template. The published indicative ranges give an order of magnitude per bill bracket; the real quote depends on the technical visit and, in medium voltage, on the applicable law 82-21 regime (grid-connection agreement up to 5 MW, authorisation beyond).
What’s included / excluded
What is included in a business installation?
Tier-1 equipment (panels, inverter, structure), the full technical file, building the law 82-21 file (grid-connection agreement or authorisation depending on power) and real-time production monitoring access for the whole site.
What is not covered by the warranty?
Accidental damage or an external impact, an intervention by a third party not authorised by Taqinor, a clear lack of maintenance, a force-majeure event (a matter for the building’s insurance, not our hardware warranty) and normal wear beyond the guaranteed thresholds. Indicative list, to be confirmed — see the Warranties page.
Timelines
What is the timeline from first contact to commissioning?
The same three-step process as a residential site: initial assessment, direct exchange with a technician, then the technical visit and full assessment. On a business site, the assessment also factors in your load curves and, depending on power, building the law 82-21 file — which can extend the timeline depending on the applicable regime (grid-connection agreement or authorisation).
Warranties
What warranties cover a business installation?
The same tier-1 warranties as residential: panels 12 years product / 30 years linear performance (≥ 87.4 %), inverter 10 years, galvanised steel structure 20 years, Taqinor installation and labour 2 years. The breakdown by component is below and on the Warranties page.
