Investing in commercial solar panels isn’t just about harnessing solar energy; it’s a strategic move that can revolutionise your business. Whether your goal is to bolster profits by slashing energy costs, attract environmentally-conscious customers, or fortify your company’s image as a champion of sustainability, commercial solar panels offer a myriad of benefits.

While it’s a well-known fact that solar energy is most efficient during the sun-soaked summer months, the impact of commercial solar panels extends beyond seasonal variations. Even in darker months with reduced sunshine, these systems continue to contribute, albeit at a slightly lower capacity. Our proposals provide a transparent view of annual expectations, allowing businesses to plan accordingly.

Contrastingly, some businesses experience heightened energy demands during the summer months. As we resume our work, we take pride in contributing to a system that addresses the energy challenges faced by crucial sectors like agriculture. Farms, the backbone of our nation, have been grappling with soaring energy costs, affecting the production of essential goods. Rising energy costs for farmers translate into higher food prices for consumers, making sustainable energy solutions a pressing need.

Recently, we collaborated with a potato farmer heavily reliant on refrigeration. With a thorough assessment of energy usage and cost considerations, we provided a solar solution that was nothing short of a game-changer. The financial impact is evident in the chart below, showcasing a remarkable return on investment in just 3 years and 3 months.

Our customer, focused on streamlined efficiency, opted for a straightforward yet robust 78.2kW system using Trina™ Vertex Mono panels. This reliable, value-driven solution not only offers a compelling return on investment but also reduces energy demand by around 40%, even without the need for energy storage. Minimal maintenance is required, thanks to the panel’s tilt, efficiently clearing debris with rain. Manufacturers’ confidence in their product is evident in the 25 to 30-year warranties, eliminating maintenance concerns for elevated installations.

The system operates seamlessly, keeping the potatoes cool year-round, particularly during warmer summer months.

Beyond energy savings, commercial solar panels bring tax incentives for businesses. The Annual Investment Allowance allows companies to deduct the full value of new solar panel installations from their profits in the first year, reducing their Corporation Tax bill. This incentive is available to all UK businesses, regardless of their industry, making solar energy a financially savvy and eco-conscious choice.
