Why Should Businesses Consider Installing a Commercial Solar System?
Sustainable energy is not just a trend. As more customers and clients consider environmental impacts when choosing businesses to work with, it’s more important than ever to look at your brand’s eco status, such as a commercial solar system.
Commercial solar panel installation is an effective way for businesses to stay ahead, offering not only environmental benefits but also a chance to increase revenue and reduce business costs.
What is a Commercial Solar System?
Commercial solar panels work in the same way as their residential counterparts to convert renewable energy from the sun into usable electricity for your business. You may see terms like commercial solar, commercial solar PV, or commercial solar system to refer to huge installations that can often be seen on large commercial buildings like industrial spaces, warehouses, and agriculture buildings.
What’s the Difference Between Domestic and Commercial Solar Panels?
While they operate in the same way, commercial installations are usually much larger and more complex, featuring vastly more panels and therefore higher electricity outputs.
What are the Benefits of Installing a Commercial Solar System?
Although there are plenty of options to improve business sustainability, solar panels make a great investment because they have both financial and environmental benefits
Large solar PV installations offer significant electricity cost savings, carbon footprint reduction, and potential revenue through exporting excess energy. Plus, you can benefit from a whole new client base with customers looking at your eco credentials.
Here are the main benefits:
Renewable
Solar energy comes from our largest renewable source: the sun. This means truly renewable energy that doesn’t run out or contribute to pollution.
Sustainable
Commercial solar provides sustainable energy by not being able to over-consume and over-exploit the source of energy. Generating your own electricity can also give you the edge with eco-conscious consumers looking at sustainability policies.
Environmentally Friendly
Solar power is clean energy, which presents an advantage in the fight against climate change and helps protect our environment while reducing carbon emissions.
Proven ROI
Your solar system is an investment guaranteed to lower your electricity bills and provide you with a real and tangible ROI by increasing the value of your commercial property and giving you predictable energy costs for your business.
Long-lasting
Top quality commercial solar panels typically offer long lifespans and warranty periods, another reason that makes them a great long-term investment for businesses looking at future financial projections and cost savings.
Reliable
With recent uncertainty around the UK’s energy market including rising costs and the risk of power blackouts to combat possible energy shortages, the reliability of solar energy should also be considered. Switching to solar reduces your business reliance on the national grid supply and allows for other backup options such as battery storage.
Maintenance
Commercial solar systems are relatively low maintenance, requiring inspections and cleaning to remain at optimal performance and efficiency. Most businesses will opt to have this done every 12 months or so, but the Cleaner Group offer commercial solar PV maintenance packages and can advise on the most suitable option for your business installation.
Future-proofing
As well as forward planning financials, commercial solar systems can also be adapted with a modular design that allows large installations to be adjusted and expanded as needed to suit business growth and future energy requirements.
