Commercial Solar FAQs

Q. Does my business need battery storage?

This depends entirely on the unique operational patterns and energy consumption of your business. Generally speaking, if your company is only operational with high energy demand during daylight hours, battery storage is not recommended.

If your business does have a high night time energy demand, then batteries could significantly boost your return on investment. Our solar experts are well-equipped to guide you through your best options.

Q. How much energy could my business generate with a solar power system?

This depends on a number of factors, such as the number of panels installed, the wattage of your chosen panels, their orientation. shading and so on.

As an example, 50 panels with a power rating of 300W could generate 15kW, which would generate around 80 kWh of energy each day.

It's worth remembering that solar panels still function effectively on cloudy days, in winter, and in cold weather, so installation in the UK is a very viable option.

Q. How much does it cost to install solar panels on a business premises?

This depends on the size of system chosen, the type of panel, panel efficiency, location, the complexity of the job, the type of installation (i.e. ground-mounted or on-roof), and more factors.

Each project is bespoke to the company involved. As an example, medium-sized business installing a 30 kWp system can expect to pay around £40,000.

It’s worth noting that there are finance packages available to help you pay for your system if required, ec0-grants are often available and that despite the up-front investment, businesses often breakeven after just 4-5 years and then enjoy totally free electricity for the next 20-25 years.

Q. Can panels be installed on leased premises?

Yes, they can. If you secure your freeholder or landlord's permission, it is usually welcomed by those decision-makers. After all, the addition of panels will likely increase the value of their property.

Just take into consideration the length of your lease and if you will experience the benefits before relinquishing the property. If you are planning to rent the premises for 8 years or more, it's probably worth the investment.

Q. What is the process for installing solar panels?

We will arrange a date with suits you, and 1-2 days prior, the scaffolders will arrive to erect scaffolding if required.

Our team will arrive on the selected day and start installing the solar panels. The installation duration depends on the size of the project and can be anywhere from 1 day to 1 month or more. For the majority of SME businesses, it shouldn't take more than 1-2 weeks.

Whilst the solar panel installation team are at work on the roof, the electrician team will start installing the cable routes, the inverter and battery. The team are very considerate and will ensure minimal impact to your business. You may operate as usual throughout the installation.

Once everything is installed, the team will give you a handover, showing you how to use the app and monitor the system. You will begin generating solar energy from day one!

Scaffolding will usually come down within 3 days. Mark will update you with an ETA.

You are welcome to schedule a follow up call with Benji, to help you with any operational queries.

Q. Are there grants or funding available to help me install solar panels?

There are often funding opportunities for businesses looking to go green. This can be at governmental level, at local council level or even provided by charity funds. These grants and funding opportunities open and close frequently so it’s always worth checking before you make the investment.
