The benefits of solar for businesses

Why solar?

With businesses looking at more ways to drive sustainability and cut costs, solar panels are an increasingly popular choice to not only harness renewable energy but also reduce spending.

Cut your costs

We’re already saving businesses more then £3 million, with our current installations saving an average of 40% off our customers’ electricity bills each year.

Future proof your business

Say no more to unpredictable energy costs – with business solar panels, you’ll be in charge of the energy you generate. Plus, if your solar panels start generating more energy than your business needs, you can sell your excess back to the grid and reap the rewards of a faster Return on Investment.

Lead the way in sustainability

Transform your business with clean, green energy and work towards the UK’s Net Zero by 2050 goal, with the support of business solar panels and battery storage.

Maximise your savings. Minimise your footprint.

Environment

Switching to solar energy is proven to offer long-term cost savings, but it can also have a much bigger impact than just your business. Going green helps you reduce your carbon footprint and position your business as a leader in the fight against climate change.

Energy generated by you, for you

Generating electricity on the same site where it’s consumed minimises transmission losses and improves efficiency. Plus, a typical commercial system can save up to two tonnes of CO2e per year, per 10kWh installed.

Business Solar FAQs

Business solar panels work by using Photovoltaic (PV) cells which are designed to absorb sunlight. Your solar panels will then produce a flow of electricity called Direct Current (DC).

Your business appliances run on Alternating Current (AC), so your inverter then steps in to convert DC into usable AC electricity to power your business. Any excess energy generated and not used by your business, can then be sold back to the grid.

Complete our contact form and we’ll be in touch to talk about the best solution for your business. We’ll guide you every step of the way, all the way to installation and beyond.

Every business is unique and has its own priorities. However, we have installed solutions for a wide range of business types and sizes and can demonstrate significant financial and environmental benefits, no matter the business.

Installing solar for your small office could be saving you £1,500-£2,000 a year, with a payback period of 6-8 years, and for larger commercial buildings you could be seeing a saving of £30,000-£40,000, with a payback period of 5-6 years.

There’s no set cost for a solar panel installation, as we create bespoke packages for each business we work with. However, we have highlighted some estimated costs below:

Small business (retail shop or small office)

10 kW solar PV system with a 10 kWh battery

Upfront cost – £12,000 – £15,000

Medium business (warehouse or mid-sized office)

50 kW solar PV system with a 50 kWh battery

Upfront cost – £50,000 – £65,000

Large business (manufacturing site or large commercial building)

250 kW solar PV system with a 250 kWh battery

Upfront cost – £220,000 – £280,000

Extra-large business (logistics hubs or industrial sites)

Larger scale business systems (manufacturing plants, data centres or large-scale commercial estates)

1MW solar PV system with a 1MWh battery

Upfront cost – £850,000 – £1.05m

Absolutely, we always try to make our solar panel installations as fuss-free as possible. There are always considerations that need to be made regarding scaffolding and potential power outages for short periods – but we’ll work with you to ensure that your business can run as normal.

  • Reduced energy bills.
  • Protection against rising energy prices.
  • Improved sustainability credentials.
  • Increased energy independence.
  • Ability to take advantage of Government incentives.
