Commercial Solar Panel Installation

Learn how businesses throughout the UK are saving hundreds of thousands of pounds on their energy bills with commercial solar systems and how easy it is for you to do the same.

Robert Moss

CEO - Moss Electrical

4th March 2024
We couldn’t be happier with the process and are now saving £300,000 per year on our electricity costs.

‍There was such little disruption that we were quite frankly surprised when the team turned around and said that they were all done.

Why businesses throughout the UK are installing solar

Huge savings on high energy costs

Energy costs are set to rise by 20-30% by 2030. Hedging against this near certainty will lead to large cost deductions.

Increasing your energy security

2021 and 2022 showed how fragile the energy landscape is. Solar is a great hedge against volatility in energy markets.

Reducing carbon footprint by thousands of kilograms

With Net Zero targets putting many businesses under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, solar serves as a brilliant vehicle to do so.

Immediate savings potential with PPA

With Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), businesses can reduce costs in their first year with £0 upfront payment.

How much can you save with commercial solar?

The cost of Solar panels has reduced significantly in recent years. The technology has also increased in effectiveness. With panels now set to perform at 95% efficiency for up to 25 years, our prospects are seeing no brainer forecasts on their installation.

4 year average ROI

Based on purchasing solar in full, our average enquiry will breakeven within 4 years.

Reduce reliance on the grid

2021 and 2022 exposed many businesses to their reliance on the grid and vulnerability to price changes.

ThermoFisher cut energy costs by 15% without any upfront or ongoing costs

Custodian Capital are one of our repeat clients and partners. By installing an 830 kW solar system on one of their properties, they were able to pass on a 15% reduction in energy costs to ThermoFisher.

This is under a common arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) whereby an asset manager will fund and maintain an installation under an agreement to sell the energy at a reduced rate to the property user.

£4.7m lifetime ROI
Over the system's 25 year lifetime, it will yield over £4.7m in savings for Custodian Capital.
Net zero
The installation is a significant step for Custodian Capital & ThermoFisher on their way to meet Net Zero targets.

What type of business benefits the most from commercial solar?

Businesses with specific characteristics have the most to gain from a commercial solar installation.

The greater your energy usage and costs, typically, the more you will benefit from a commercial solar installation.

Additionally, your business’s specific ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals play a significant role in this decision.

High energy consumption
Businesses with significant energy demands, such as manufacturing plants, data centers, or large office buildings, stand to benefit greatly from commercial solar installations.

By generating their own power, they can substantially reduce their energy expenses and increase their resilience against fluctuating energy prices.
Ask us how we can help
Large roof or land space
Companies with ample unused roof space or vacant land can maximise the potential of these areas by installing solar panels.

This is particularly advantageous for warehouses, distribution centers, and agricultural businesses that might have extensive unshaded areas suitable for solar installations.
Ask us how we can help
Ambitious sustainability goals
Organisations aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and enhance their sustainability credentials will find commercial solar installations align perfectly with their environmental objectives.

This not only aids in achieving corporate social responsibility goals but also positions the business favourable in the eyes of eco-conscious consumers.
Ask us how we can help
High public visibility
Businesses that have a high profile or rely heavily on their brand image, such as retail chains, hotels, and corporations, can leverage commercial solar installations to showcase their commitment to renewable energy and sustainability.

Thereby, enhancing their reputation and appeal to a broader customer base.
Ask us how we can help
Long-term locations
Businesses that own their premises or have long-term leases will see the most financial benefit from solar installations due to the upfront investment required.

The longer a business can utilise the installation, the greater the savings and the return on investment.
Ask us how we can help
Long-term locations
Companies operating in regions where energy production is taxed or subject to strict environmental regulations may find solar installations an effective way to reduce operational costs and ensure compliance with local councils, avoiding fines and penalties.
Ask us how we can help
High daytime energy usage
Enterprises that operate primarily during daylight hours, such as retail stores, schools, and offices, can directly utilise the solar power generated, leading to immediate energy cost savings.

The usage of these businesses will align with the solar power generation curve, meaning there may also be little need for a battery storage system.
Ask us how we can help
Predictable energy usage
Businesses that have a predictable and consistent energy usage pattern, such as data centres or production facilities operating around the clock, can greatly benefit from the stability and predictability of energy costs provided by solar power.

Reducing fluctuations and better forecasting requirements.
Ask us how we can help
Need for independence
Businesses located in areas with unreliable power grids or those seeking to mitigate the risk of power outages may benefit from the energy independence that a solar installation offers, ensuring continuous operation without interruptions.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities are a great example of this, ensuring that essential services remain uninterrupted.
Ask us how we can help
Education sector
Schools, universities, and other educational facilities often have the space, long-term horizon, and commitment to sustainability that make them ideal candidates for solar installations.

Besides reducing energy costs, they can use the solar system as a practical learning tool for students.
Ask us how we can help
Education sector
Hospitals and healthcare facilities, with their critical need for reliable power and typically large energy usage, can greatly benefit from solar installations.

Solar energy can provide a dependable alternative or supplement to traditional power sources, ensuring that essential services remain uninterrupted.
