Solar panels are a common sight on homes all across the UK, but some business owners are still reluctant to follow suit and make the switch. Common concerns include installation costs whether they’ll pay off in the long run, and if they’ll be powerful enough to meet their business’ energy needs.
The good news? Installing commercial solar panels is actually one of the best decisions you can make for your business.
Want to know more? At ProStar Energy Solar Experts, we’re passionate about sharing the benefits of solar power with the whole of the South. Discover the five biggest reasons to invest in commercial solar panels by reading our breakdown below!
Commercial Solar panels reduce your business’s electricity bills
Solar panels have a huge amount of money-saving potential. While the upfront costs may seem high, they offer enough benefits to make the return-on-investment (ROI) more than worth it.
- By providing your business with free renewable energy, they reduce your reliance on traditional energy imports and dramatically lower your bills. A powerful enough system could even reduce your bills by up to 100%.
- Commercial Solar panels have an impressive lifespan and demand very little maintenance. This means you won’t have to worry about constant upkeep or replacements.
- There are various financial incentives available, like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which can help make your investment even more worthwhile. Not only will you reduce your bills, but you’ll also earn money by selling any excess electricity back to the grid!
Commercial Solar panels make your business more eco-friendly
Sustainable business practices are more important than ever. According to a recent global survey, a staggering 85% of customers have made the switch to greener purchasing options in the past five years.
Commercial solar panels generate energy from a clean, renewable source, reducing your business’s carbon emissions and contributing to a greener future. By installing them on your property, your business can gain a distinct competitive edge and appeal to environmentally conscious customers who value sustainable initiatives.
Commercial Solar panels help you achieve energy independence
By reducing the amount of energy, you need to import from the grid, commercial solar panels allow your business to become more independent from fluctuating energy prices and grid instability. This helps protect it from rising energy costs and any disruptions – such as blackouts or power cuts. You’ll have peace of mind that your day-to-day business operations will go on uninterrupted, even during times of high energy demand.
Commercial Solar panels increase your business property’s value
On top of the short-term benefits they provide, commercial solar panels can also boost the overall value of your business property.
When buying or renting a property, more and more people have energy efficiency and sustainability as their top priorities. Commercial solar panels come with reduced energy costs and a more eco way of generating energy, which can both appeal to prospective buyers or tenants. This increased interest can lead to a higher demand for your property, potentially resulting in higher rental rates or purchase offers.
Commercial Solar panels can be upgraded to suit your business’s needs
As your business grows, its energy requirements will grow alongside it. Luckily, solar panel systems are incredibly flexible – you can easily upgrade your system with a new panel, battery, inverter, or diverter as needed, without having to overhaul your entire system.
Want to use your solar power at night? A solar storage battery is just what you need. Want to use solar power for your hot water? Install a solar diverter! No matter your energy needs, having a solar system makes achieving them simple.
