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

We couldn’t be happier with the process and are now saving £300,000 per year on our electricity costs.
We’d highly recommend considering commercial solar.

Why is cleaning required for commercial solar systems?

Upholding hardware warranties

Accumulated dirt on solar panels can cause lasting damage over time if not addressed. Regular cleaning is necessary to uphold hardware warranties.

In areas with significant pollution or environmental debris, like pollen or bird droppings, neglecting regular cleaning can lead to corrosion or scratches on panel surfaces.

Ensuring continued efficiency

Regularly cleaning solar panels is crucial to maintain peak energy production efficiency. Accumulated dust, dirt, and debris can block sunlight absorption, decreasing the output of solar systems.

By implementing regular cleaning schedules, businesses can ensure their solar panels operate at maximum performance, optimising energy generation and cost savings.

Safety and aesthetics

A build up of dust and debris can create slippery surfaces, posing hazards for maintenance personnel during inspections or repairs.

Visible panels in high-traffic areas may also require aesthetic upkeep to maintain a professional appearance. This ensures that visiting clients or employees can see that the system is well-maintained.

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.
Saving over 100,000 kg of CO2 annually with solar installation
Pearce Recycling's solar installation is a major environmental success, saving over 100,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually. The project not only supports sustainability but also yields substantial financial savings.
