Investing in commercial solar energy offers significant benefits for businesses amid rising energy costs. Utilizing rooftop space for solar panels generates clean, cost-effective electricity, reducing reliance on grid power and cutting costs. Solar systems require minimal maintenance, provide reliable returns, and often come with government incentives, making them a financially attractive option.
Cost Savings: Businesses can generate their own electricity, reducing grid dependence and energy bills. Surplus power can be sold back, adding to savings.
Additional Income: Excess electricity can be sold to the grid, providing an extra revenue stream.
Financial Stability: Solar energy costs remain stable, helping businesses avoid fluctuations in energy prices and plan better.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Solar power reduces greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing environmental sustainability and appealing to eco-conscious customers.
Low-Risk Investment: With minimal maintenance and government incentives, solar panels offer a secure investment with attractive returns.
Energy Security: Solar installations ensure are liable power source, helping businesses meet regulatory requirements and maintain operations.
Overall, adopting solar energy helps businesses save costs, reduce environmental impact, and enhance market competitiveness.

The costs of commercial solar PV installations vary based on project specifics such as system size, panel placement, installation needs (scaffolding, access, electrical, etc.), product quality, and labour. During initial contact, we'll discuss these factors and provide an indicative estimate. Upon approval, we conduct a site survey and present a formal proposal. Estimated costs: - 50 kWp: £800 per kWp ≈ £42,500 - 100 kWp: £750 per kWp ≈ £75,500 - 250 kWp: £700 per kWp ≈ £175,000 - 500 kWp: £650 per kWp ≈ £325,000 - 1000 kWp: £600 per kWp ≈ £600,000
A PPA is a contract where a funder installs and maintains a solar PV system for a business with no upfront costs. The business buys electricity at a lower rate. Benefits of a PPA: - No Upfront Costs: The funder covers all initial expenses. - Comprehensive Coverage: Up to 25 years of operations and maintenance. - Performance Guarantees: Assured system performance, if applicable. - Protection from Rising Energy Costs: Stable, lower electricity prices. - System Ownership: Gain ownership of the PV system after the contract. Benefits of CapEx: - Full Ownership: Immediate ownership of the solar PV system. - Quick Return on Investment: Faster payback period. - Long-Term Savings: Greater savings over the system's lifespan. - Revenue Generation: Potential earnings from surplus energy. - Energy Independence: More control over your energy sources.
