Mountain View, Calif. — solarX, a company that provides clean solar energy to commercial real estate owners, announced its XFactor Solar Certification program for commercial buildings.

As commercial building owners strive to meet growing tenant demand for clean energy, solar certification becomes an important factor to any decision to “go green.” According to solarX, while LEED and ENERGY STAR allow for clean and/or efficient energy, neither program focuses on solar energy usage alone. For commercial real estate owners moving toward solar energy, this lack of certification creates a problem.

XFactor Solar Certification measures several components including carbon offset, total power consumption from solar, peek load reduction, solar panel positioning, and other criteria. Buildings receive XFactor Solar Certification levels based on how they score in each area measured. For more information, visit www.solarxcorp.com/certification.
