COMMERCIAL ROOF MOUNTED SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS

WHY COMMERCIAL ROOF MOUNTED SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS

There are significant benefits to be had from investing in solar energy, for businesses both industrial, large and small. With rising energy costs, putting your roof space to good use can be a sensible decision. Many commercial organisations have already realised the huge potential income stream available from solar energy. Simply by utilising the roof space on your commercial premises, agricultural buildings, factories, warehouses, schools, or hospitals, you can install solar power generators and start generating solar energy.

Cost savings – Solar panels generate free, green electricity during daytime hours that can be used on site, lowering your business demand for energy from the grid and potentially saving thousands of pounds on energy bills.

Solar income – Ideally you would use all the solar power onsite, however any surplus power can be sold to the grid.

Financial stability – With energy prices predicted to sharply rise in the next 10 years, commercial solar panels allow you to effectively forward buy your electricity at a set price, making financial forecasting much easier.

Low risk investment – Solar PV is a reliable and safe investment vehicle that provides returns exceeding those of traditional low risk financial products.

Energy security – With the grid currently struggling to generate significant electricity supply to meet the UK’s growing energy demands, and the government’s recent introduction of mandatory energy audits for large businesses via the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and possible future energy usage regulation, independent solar installations are and excellent backup measure.

Lower carbon footprint – Generating your own solar energy will significantly reduce your carbon footprint, increase your company’s sustainable credentials and improve your business reputation.
