Commercial solar PV systems are on the increase in the UK. Soaring energy costs and environmental concerns have brought a new focus to the purchase and use of energy for companies with commercial buildings.
What may have previously been just a bill to manage and pay is now a significant part of the operational costs of a company.
Solarcrown Commercial supply and install solar PV (photovoltaic) systems on commercial buildings. We are on the front line of the battle against rising energy costs that can cripple businesses, while helping companies reduce their carbon footprint.
Solar PV for commercial properties
Businesses with a large roof space are choosing solar PV for their commercial properties.
By generating its own energy through a solar PV system on its commercial property, a business is no longer vulnerable to rising energy prices.
When you consider potential challenges such as the rise in demand for electricity for EV (electric vehicle) charging, solar PV installations on commercial properties can solve many difficulties that businesses could soon face.

FAQs
How much money will a solar PV installation save my business?
This will depend on your usage and the size of your PV installation. As an example a client with an installation of 900 solar PV panels saved over £40k in year one with projected savings of almost £450k over the lifetime of the system.
This was based on an initial investment of £233k. Another client made a saving of almost £9k in year one with projected savings of £195k for an initial investment of £68k for 200 PV panels.
Do I need a roof to have a solar PV installation?
No, solar PV panels can be ground-mounted as long as you have enough land with good exposure to the sun.
Do I need planning permission for a solar PV installation?
A solar PV installation is usually classed as ‘permitted development’ but you should always take advice to be sure. Solarcrown can help with that.
