Discover More About Solar for your Business
Q: Will installing solar panels disrupt our daily business operations?
Not at all. Almost all of the installation work takes place on your roof, in plant rooms, or outside, so your day-to-day business can run as normal. When it comes time to connect the system to your electrical board, we schedule a short planned shutdown (usually outside your normal business hours or over a weekend), so there is zero impact on your team or customers.
Q: How much can solar panels actually cut our business energy bills?
Most businesses see their daytime electricity costs drop significantly; often by 50% to 70%. Because commercial properties usually use the most power during the day when the sun is shining (running lights, computers, machinery, and air conditioning), you use the free electricity as it's being generated rather than buying expensive power from the grid.
Q: How long does a commercial solar setup take to pay for itself?
For most commercial installations, the payback period is typically between 3 and 6 years, depending on your energy usage and current electricity rates. Given that commercial solar panels come with performance warranties lasting 25 years or more, you get nearly two decades of free, clean energy after the system has paid for itself.
Q: What happens if we lease our building instead of owning it?
You can still get solar! Many landlords welcome solar installations because it boosts the building’s energy rating (EPC) and makes the property more attractive to tenants. We can help you navigate lease agreements, landlord consent, and options like Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), where a third party funds the installation and you simply buy the cheaper electricity it generates.
Q: Do we need planning permission to put solar panels on a commercial property?
In most cases, no. Many commercial roof installations fall under Permitted Development Rights, meaning standard planning permission isn't required. However, if your building is listed, located in a conservation area, or if you're building a large ground-mounted array, formal planning permission may be needed. We handle all grid permissions (DNO applications) and check local planning rules for you before any work starts.
