Businesses investing in solar and installing commercial solar panels benefit financially from long term savings along with improving the environment.

How things have changed from say ten years ago when solar PV panels were a new technology. They were thought of as expensive, niche, and an unknown experimental technology. A decade plus later, solar is thought of by many to be one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources. This is not just in the U.K. but throughout the world.

Changes in technology and reductions in costs have made it so much easier for businesses to install solar affordably. Now, they can benefit from savings not previously available. Solar panels, inverters and battery storage are no longer niche but a mass-produced product, available at competitive pricing.

With performance warranties of 25 and 30 years, a commercial solar panel installation can be expected to supply free electricity for a considerable length of time. We have seen ROI periods from as low as 4 years.

On Roof – Planning regulations are a concern for some but unless you are in a conservation area mounting solar panels on your roof is the easiest, most affordable way of self-generating clean electricity for your business. Green Solar Systems can fit solar panels to almost any roof type, pitched, tiled, metal or tin and flat roofs.

Ground Mount – sometimes on roof is not viable or perhaps your roof is already full of solar panels and you would like to produce more power. If your roof is unsuitable due to its shape, the orientation is wrong  you have multiple vents, or rooflights a ground mounted solar array may be your best solution.

Wholesale energy costs are unpredictable because of that commercial solar panels make more sense than ever and demand is high. Should you decide to install solar PV panels at your business you will have a greater control of your electricity supply enjoying the benefits of reliable, low-priced electricity to use on-site.

Corporate Social Responsibility covers so many areas and can include improving an organisations environmental impact. Regular commercial solar panels conferences meet with the intention of uniting the world to reduce climate change. We can all play a part of change for future generations, we know that leading scientists have warned us of the consequences of burning fossil fuels such as gas, coal and oil we will be the creators of our own man-made disaster on a global scale. We have the technology available with solar and other renewable energy sources to increase the rate at which we generate, store and distribute energy.

Reduce your carbon footprint did you knw thatit has been estimated that a typical 250kWp solar PV system will offset approximately 64 tonnes of CO2 that is estimated to be equivalent to driving 155,000 miles in a petrol car.

Solar panels can generate electricity to support your daytime usage. Therefore, the added option of a battery storage system is a huge benefit to many. As mentioned earlier on our site, the daytime sunlight will support your daytime usage. However, what do you do if your business has a large evening or nighttime electricity demand? For example a nursing or care home will have a 24 hour electricity demand.

By adding a battery storage system to your solar panels, the energy that you’re not using (that would export to the grid) would be put into batteries for storage. You can use it at a later time. You can capitalise on the electricity generated and energy bill savings.
