Many UK businesses have benefited from the installation of solar panels on commercial buildings.
Solar panels for commercial buildings
Solar panels for commercial buildings generate electricity from the sun’s energy, offering a direct way to reduce your business’s carbon footprint and make significant financial savings.
Solarcrown Commercial are net zero energy consultants and solar PV (photovoltaic) system experts. We save companies money and reduce their environmental impact through the design and installation of solar panels on commercial buildings.
Advantages of solar panels for your business
Solar panels for your business offer a range of advantages:
- Solar panels generate free, renewable energy
- Your company no longer relies on fossil fuels and the National Grid
- Solar panels for your business are good for your brand. A company’s green credentials are increasingly important to potential customers
- Top industry talent choose to work for environmentally conscious companies.
Roof mounted commercial solar panels
Businesses usually install roof mounted commercial solar panels, although in some cases they can be installed in the ground for which you may need planning permission. For roof mounted commercial solar panels it is highly unlikely that planning permission will be required.
You can install as few as two roof mounted solar panels, so you don’t necessarily need a huge roof if your energy consumption can be covered by just a couple of panels.
A significant advantage of roof mounted solar panels is that you don’t need to find extra space to house them!
Environmental benefits of solar panels
Here are just three of the environmental benefits of solar panels:
- Solar panels reduce your carbon footprint by generating renewable, green energy that doesn’t harm the environment.
- Solar panels reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
- Solar energy improves air quality and reduces the use of water in energy production.
Financial benefits of solar panels
The financial benefits of solar panels are very attractive to businesses. The renewable energy produced by solar panels is free. Your company no longer pays external energy suppliers for electricity, which gives you the security of not worrying about soaring energy prices.
You also have the potential to earn from excess energy generated by your solar panels by selling it back to the National Grid.
There are various government incentives available to assist businesses with commercial solar PV installations.
Monitoring, running, and maintaining your commercial solar panels
Monitoring and running your commercial solar panels couldn’t be easier. We demonstrate how to manage the solar PV system, and demonstrate how much control you now have over your energy supply. The maintenance of solar panels is minimal. As long as they are kept generally clean they will serve you for many years to come.
