COMMERCIAL SOLAR
Is the cost of energising your business beginning to hit the bottom line? We offer a wide range of Solar PV solutions for businesses of all shapes and sizes to help you take back control of your costs. Whether you’ve got a fragile roof that can’t take the load bearing of a traditional mounted panel system or you’ve got a curved structure that makes PV installation difficult, we’re one of few UK companies that can help. With the advancement of lightweight, bendable panels, we’re able to implement Solar PV systems in the most difficult scenarios, enabling just about every business to benefit from generating their energy directly from the sun.
SOLAR PV CAN BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS
Until now, commercial Solar PV has experienced somewhat stagnant growth since the end of the Feed-In-Tariff but with energy costs rising exponentially, the return of capital deployed can be seriously attractive and the long-term performance of the solar array robust. We help you to establish how a Solar PV system can benefit your business with professional designs, structural load bearing analysis, energy storage solutions and safety conscious installs. It some circumstances, we may be able to provide access to a panel of “Green Lenders” who support businesses with their transition to “net-zero”.
With Solar PV generation varying throughout the year, we can help you to harvest every Kilowatt of free energy by designing battery storage solutions that work alongside your energy demands. The advancement of storage batteries enables the implementation of large-scale stackable solutions that you can draw from when your energy supply is at its most expensive. Perhaps your business has suffered the effects of energy outages on too many occasions and you want to protect against the next impact? In times of harsh weather events or supply outages, battery storage can keep you operational and on top.
FAQs
Traditional PV systems may have limited suitability on structural vulnerable roofs but the modern-day panels can be lightweight and safe. On curved roof surfaces, we even have access to “bendable”, thin-film panels without compromising the effectiveness of how much energy can be generated. Any large-scale commercial project needs careful planning and assessment before committing to a Solar PV array.
Many Solar PV systems are not necessarily implemented to remove dependence on the sourcing energy from the grid, they tend to work in tandem, often contributing a sizeable portion of electricity. Larger roofs where a bigger Solar PV array can be installed could lead to the replacement of grid-sourced electricity but the true benefits can be modelled in the initial proposal.
Depending on the size of a commercial install, the speed of install varies, however, most systems are up and running in a matter of days. Weather plays a big part in the speed of install with wet and windy weather often hampering progress. Generally speaking, a Solar PV install should not impact on the normal operation of your business due to the external nature of the works.
We treat the health and safety provision of our installers, our clients and the general public with the utmost importance. All installs are carried out only after full risk assessments and method statements have been produced. The vast majority of installs require access and fall prevention equipment to ensure the safety of those working on and around the installation zone.
Solar PV doesn’t necessarily stack up for everyone but if you’ve got a large roof span and you use a lot of energy, it’s likely to produce a robust financial return. It can also help you meet net zero targets and boost your environmental footprint which is becoming increasingly important. We’ll model the potential returns on investment and the point at which the system moves into a profit making investment.
As a HIES accredited company, we offer 25 year workmanship guarantees. The Solar PV systems themselves. vary depending on type and brand, however, the solar panel modules are expected to last for at least 20 years. Inverters and batteries generally have a lifespan of 10-15 years but are both relatively straight forward to replace without any expensive access needed to the panels themselves.
