Your commercial solar installation does not necessarily have to go on the roof. They can also be installed on the ground or other structures (even walls!), provided there is sufficient sunlight for them to operate efficiently. The choice of location for your solar panels is typically based on factors such as available space, the orientation and tilt of the surface (which can be adjusted or manufactured with framing) as well as impacts of shading from nearby buildings or trees. The aim of your commercial solar installation should be to ensure that the panels receive the maximum amount of sunlight possible – this isn’t always done from roofs!
