Commercial Solar

Benefits of installing commercial solar

For some businesses, the cost of electrical power is the biggest overhead. With the volatility of energy prices over the last few years, for many businesses commercial solar means taking control of energy costs.

By installing solar panels at your premises, you’ll see an instant saving on your electricity bill. Any power generated and used on site will replace grid-sourced power. Solar can also enable a revenue from excess power exported to the grid via the smart export guarantee (SEG). These savings and revenue make up your payback period, often providing a healthy return on investment.  Once your initial investment is paid off, you’ll receive clean, green energy for your business free of charge.

For businesses with a 24 hour energy requirement, or peak energy usages, battery storage can offer a solution. On site storage can be installed to capture excess energy generated for use once the sun has gone down. Furthermore, in some instances it can offer back up in the event of a power cut. The size of a system can be specified to suit your predicted export so that you make the most of all power generated on site.

In addition to the financial benefits, solar installation can directly help towards corporate social responsibility (CSR). It reduces your carbon emissions whilst showing that your business is taking real action, not just talking about sustainability.

By installing solar panels, you reduce your carbon footprint, taking you closer to being a net zero business. Whatever your business, installing solar panels has the potential to give you the edge on your competitors by actively demonstrating your commitment to lowering your carbon emissions.
