The Business Case for Commercial Solar
From reducing operational costs to increasing energy independence, our commercial solar projects across East Anglia demonstrate the benefits of renewable energy.
With government incentives still available and significant long-term savings to be made, solar energy is a smart investment for many commercial premises.
Here are just some of the reasons we believe many businesses would benefit from making the switch to clean, cost-effective power:
Cut your business's energy costs
Installing solar panels can significantly reduce your energy costs. Businesses face hefty utility bills, but solar energy provides the means to combat this.
Over time, this can lead to substantial savings and even allow you to allocate funds to other critical areas of your business. It’s your secret weapon against ever-rising energy costs.
Increase commercial property value
A solar panel installation can increase the value of your commercial property.
Properties equipped with solar panels are seen as more attractive due to their lower operating costs and sustainable appeal. This can be a significant advantage if you’re considering selling your property in the future or simply wish to improve its market value.
Protect against fluctuating utility prices
Solar energy offers energy independence, shielding your business from fluctuating utility prices. It’s a proactive step in securing a stable energy future for your operations.
Knowing that a portion of your energy needs is met by a reliable and inexhaustible source can give you peace of mind amidst the often-volatile energy market.
Boost your green credentials
Adopting renewable energy like solar enhances your company’s environmental credentials. Consumers and stakeholders are increasingly favouring businesses that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.
By installing solar at your business, you’re sending a clear message to eco-aware customers.

What is the payback time for commercial solar panels?
This depends on the energy usage, current energy prices and size of system installed. Typically our commercial installs have a payback time of between 2- 5 years.
Are there government incentives or funding available for businesses?
There are a number of government schemes, incentives, and local government grants available to assist with the cost of installing commercial solar and improve the payback time of your installation.

Will I need planning permission for commercial solar panels?
In many cases the answer is no. Installation of solar panels fall under permitted development rights. For large solar installations or listed buildings, planning permission may be required.
Will installing solar panels disrupt my business?
The installation process typically takes 1-5 weeks, depending on the size of the system and weather conditions. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your business.
Is commercial solar right for my business premises?
Most businesses would benefit from installing solar. Businesses generally have high daytime electricity usage so will typically see the best returns.
