Many businesses mistakenly view solar as an optional, "nice-to-have" upgrade, when in reality, they are already paying far more than they should for their energy. The truth is, you’re already spending this money—and more—by paying inflated prices to large energy companies every month. Solar simply redirects that spending into something that benefits your business, rather than padding the profits of big energy corporations.
Think about it this way: You’re currently locked into paying rising energy bills indefinitely, with no return. These costs will only increase year after year, eroding your profits. By installing solar, you're not adding an extra cost—you’re taking control of your energy spend and turning it into a long-term, profitable investment.
Instead of viewing solar as an upfront expense, consider this:
- Immediate Savings: From day one, solar starts generating energy that offsets what you would have paid to your current energy provider. That’s money staying within your business.
- Fixed Energy Costs: With solar, you fix your energy costs for decades. No more unpredictable spikes in electricity rates.
- Return on Investment: Solar pays for itself in 4-5 years, and then provides decades of free energy. This creates a significant return on your initial investment—something you’ll never get from continuing to pay energy bills.
So, you’re already spending the money—more than double what you should be. The question isn’t whether solar is affordable—it’s whether you want to keep paying excessive energy bills or turn those payments into a source of profit for your business.

Yes, it is beneficial to add commercial electric car chargers to your solar car park, though it is not a requirement. The addition of an EV charging station can be attractive to both your employees and your customers. There are more and more electric cars on the road each year. Having a place to charge them can be an added bonus for employees and customers. Learn more about commercial electric car chargers.
Generally speaking, you do not need to secure planning permission for your solar car park. However, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local planning authority. Should planning permission be needed for your car park solar canopies, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
A solar car park protects your business from rising energy costs because you are generating your own electricity which means that your building is less reliant on grid power. Your building is then protected from fluctuating energy prices. Energy from commercial solar carports offers stable, predictable costs for 25+ years, giving you better control over the operational expenses of your facility.
Building a solar car park can be scheduled to minimise disruption to your customers and employees. The length of installation time depends on the size of the area, and will be communicated with you. It will be managed around your routines to ensure minimal impact on your business.
Commercial solar carports are steel structures placed in car parks. They make the most of often underused spaces by generating solar energy and provide a shaded area for cars. This will create a new revenue stream for your business, reduce energy costs, lower the carbon footprint of your business, improve brand perception to the growing eco-conscious population and help create an opportunity to offer EV charging to your employees and customers.
You may or may not need planning permission for your commercial battery storage. There are many factors to consider. This includes the size and scale, aesthetic impact, structural safety and whether or not your building is listed. Should planning permission be needed, we will help you understand and comply with all relevant regulations and requirements by following our detailed planning process.
