Why does commercial solar work so well for Car Dealerships businesses?

Solar power is the answer when it comes to car dealerships due to large energy demands, the available space, and, most importantly, the dire need for all businesses to follow sustainable practices.

Your car dealership will be operating large showrooms, outdoor lots, service bays, as well as offices. These all require a significant amount of energy for equipment, lighting, and climate control.

As well as this, car dealerships are known to have plenty of outdoor space, which is perfect for solar-powered carports and solar panels. By utilising this space, you will be able to generate clean power without disrupting the day-to-day running of your business.

Become energy independent and more efficient with solar panels for your car dealership, and you’ll soon reap the rewards.

Ask us how we can help

Car dealerships are energy-intensive businesses, from powering showrooms to maintaining service facilities.

Solar is a perfect fit as it allows dealerships to dramatically cut electricity costs while promoting a commitment to sustainability, which is increasingly important to today’s customers.

With large roof spaces and high energy usage, dealerships can leverage solar to generate significant savings and hedge against rising energy prices.

At Sustain Commercial Solar, we recently delivered a 500kW solar project for Porsche UK, enabling them to save on energy costs from day one while enhancing their brand's green credentials.

Solar is a win-win for profitability and reputation.
