Solar panel cost by state
Standard Solar panels and equipment
Standard Solar does not manufacture its own solar panels or publicly disclose specific panel brands on its website. Instead, the company develops and finances large-scale solar projects and works with engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partners to design and install photovoltaic systems tailored to each project.
These projects may include rooftop systems, carports or ground-mounted arrays depending on the site and energy needs.
Because Standard Solar focuses on commercial, community and utility-scale projects rather than residential systems, equipment specifications can vary widely from project to project.

Standard Solar typically does not install residential solar systems. Many of the company’s projects include community solar farms, commercial rooftop arrays and solar installations for institutions such as schools and local governments.
Its role in these projects may include:

- Construction coordination with EPC contractors

Organizations interested in working with Standard Solar typically negotiate project terms individually.
Standard Solar warranty
Standard Solar does not publish standardized product or workmanship warranties for consumer installations. Warranty coverage for solar equipment and project performance generally depends on the specific project agreements and the equipment manufacturers involved.
