Solar Panel Installation For Businesses

Solar panel installation with zero up-front costs

What are the benefits of solar panel installation for businesses?

Reduce Energy Costs

By producing your own renewable energy, you can reduce reliance on the grid, lower utility costs, and achieve long-term savings.

Work Towards Net-Zero

By integrating solar power into your energy strategy, you can effectively reduce or eliminate your reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity.

Reliability

Through solar panel installation, you enhance self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on the grid, making you less vulnerable to power outages during grid failures.

Green Credentials

Highlight your commitment to cutting carbon emissions, combating climate change, and building a greener future—strengthening your connection with eco-conscious customers.

Government Incentives

Businesses can maximise cost savings by leveraging financial incentives and tax credits available for solar installations, making the investment even more rewarding.

Smart Export Guarantee

If you generate surplus electricity, you can export it to the national grid and benefit financially through an Export Tariff.

What is solar energy?

Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of power that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. By generating electricity on-site, businesses can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Additionally, solar panel installation helps to protect against rising energy costs. By generating their own electricity, businesses reduce reliance on the grid, insulating them from unpredictable price hikes and ensuring long-term savings. Additionally, Solar PV solutions are built to last, with minimal maintenance requirements, offering even greater financial benefits throughout their lifespan.

Our approach to solar panel installation

We ensure that your solar panel installation is seamless, with no disruption to your daily operations. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your business’s unique requirements, allowing us to create a bespoke design tailored to your site and energy usage. Your custom design will outline the installation cost, provide a visual representation of how the system will look on your site, and include a detailed analysis of your expected return on investment.

When it comes to funding, we offer flexible options to suit your needs. If self-funding isn’t your preferred choice, we provide a range of financial solutions to support your sustainability goals.

What are my finance options?

We offer a range of flexible financing options to suit your business needs, including:

•Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): With a PPA, you can benefit from solar energy without any upfront costs. A third party funds the installation, and you simply pay for the electricity generated at a reduced rate. Suitable for businesses consuming 50,000 kWh or more per year.

•Asset Management: This option allows businesses to lease or invest in solar assets while a third party manages system performance and maintenance.

•Hire Purchase Agreement: Spread the cost of solar panel installation over time, making it more manageable while still benefiting from energy savings. Recommended for businesses with an annual energy consumption of 75,000–100,000 kWh.

•Business Loans: Finance your solar panel installation with a tailored loan option, allowing you to own the system outright and benefit from long-term savings.

Our team can help you determine the best option for your business—get in touch to explore your choices!

Is my business suitable for solar panel installation?

Most commercial properties can accommodate solar panel installations, but suitability depends on factors such as energy usage, roof space, and site conditions.

• For a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): Your business should consume at least 50,000 kWh per year.

• For Hire Purchase and Business Loan options: A minimum energy consumption of 75,000–100,000 kWh per year is typically required.

If you’re unsure whether your business meets these criteria, our team can assess your site and energy usage to determine the best solution for you.

Do I require planning permission?

In most cases, no—solar panel installations in Great Britain typically fall under Permitted Development Rights, meaning no planning permission is required. However, exceptions include:

•Ground-mounted solar panels, which may require approval.

•Properties in Scotland, where some restrictions apply.

•Listed buildings or conservation areas, which may have additional regulations.

If you’re unsure, we can guide you through the process and check if any permissions are needed.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels are built to last and typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. While their efficiency gradually decreases over time, most panels continue to generate a significant amount of energy well beyond their warranty period. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance for decades.

Does it need to be sunny to benefit from solar panels?

No—solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight. While they perform best in bright conditions, they can still produce energy on cloudy or overcast days. Even in the UK, solar panels remain an effective way to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions year-round.

Solar energy battery storage

A solar battery stores excess electricity from your Solar PV system, enhancing energy reliability and providing backup power during grid outages. By storing surplus energy, businesses can reduce their dependence on the grid, particularly during peak hours, which can lead to significant cost savings and greater energy independence.We offer battery storage solutions tailored to your needs, and can integrate advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS) to optimise energy usage – helping you maximise the benefits of your solar investment.

Smart export guarantee - maximise ROI

Solar panel installations often generate excess power, whether due to varying operational hours or producing more energy than your site requires at a given time. If this surplus energy isn’t stored in batteries for later internal use, it can be exported back to the national grid—allowing you to earn revenue through an Export Tariff. We can facilitate this process for you, negotiating competitive export tariffs directly with suppliers to ensure you maximise the financial benefits of your solar investment.

Solar panel operations & maintenance

We can arrange and manage O&M (Operations & Maintenance) contracts for your solar installation as often as needed, giving you complete peace of mind. Keeping your solar panels well-maintained ensures they operate at peak efficiency, helping you get the most out of your investment. Regular servicing also extends the lifespan of your system, so you can enjoy reliable, long-term savings with minimal hassle.

Did You Know...

The energy from the Sun reaches Earth in just over 8 minutes, traveling at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). This means that the sunlight we see and the solar energy we harness today actually originated from the Sun’s surface about 8 minutes ago.

A word from one of our customers...

“Matthew and his team were very helpful in pulling together the quote for us at a time we were not getting responses from other suppliers. They were also helpful answering questions (and being patient) as we went through out internal approval process for the expenditure.The installation was completed much faster than we had expected and we are now very pleased to see reductions already in our electricity costs, and have access to generation monitoring tools that allow us to check on how our electricity generation is going. Overall very pleased. We have also shown other local businesses around our installation to help them with their consideration of their own plans.”
