Solar PVs

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert daylight into electricity that can be used directly by your business. By generating power on-site, your organisation may be able to reduce the amount of electricity it needs to purchase from the grid.

For businesses with suitable roof space, land or other available areas, solar PV can offer an opportunity to improve energy efficiency, manage long-term operating costs and reduce reliance on traditional energy sources.

Potential panel life

  • Commercial Rooftop Solar

    Make use of suitable existing roof space to generate electricity for your business. Rooftop systems can be explored for offices, schools, care homes, warehouses, retail premises and many other commercial buildings.

  • Ground Mounted Solar

    For organisations with suitable available land, ground-mounted solar may provide an opportunity to develop larger on-site generation systems, subject to planning, site conditions and connection requirements.

  • Solar Carports

    Turn suitable parking areas into useful energy-generating spaces. Solar carports can also be considered alongside workplace EV charging, where the site and energy requirements support it.

  • Solar & Battery Storage

    Pairing solar PV with battery storage may allow your business to store some of its generated electricity for use when demand is higher or solar generation is lower. A suitable system depends on your consumption profile, tariffs and project economics.

Strategies

Strategic use of generated energy: Aligning solar generation with your business’s daytime energy demand can increase the proportion of electricity used on-site.

Reducing grid electricity purchases: Electricity generated and used on-site may reduce the amount you need to buy from your energy supplier.

Battery storage: Where appropriate, storing surplus generation may help you use more of your solar electricity at other times.

Exporting surplus electricity: Depending on eligibility and your arrangements with an energy supplier, excess electricity may be exported to the grid.

Long-term energy planning: Solar can form part of a wider strategy that includes procurement, energy efficiency and future electrification.

Benefits

Energy cost savings: Generate electricity for your own use and potentially reduce the amount you purchase from your supplier. The savings available will depend on your energy consumption, system size, installation costs and how much of the generated electricity you use.

Generate your own electricity: Generating a proportion of your own electricity can help reduce exposure to changes in grid electricity prices and support more informed long-term energy planning. Make productive use of suitable space to reduce your reliance on electricity from the grid.

Reduce your environmental impact: Using solar electricity can help reduce emissions associated with the electricity your business consumes, supporting your organisation’s wider sustainability objectives.

Make better use of your property: Suitable rooftops, car parks and available land may offer opportunities to generate electricity without requiring additional operational premises.

Options for energy storage: Solar PV can be considered alongside battery storage, allowing some surplus electricity generated during the day to be stored for use later, subject to system design and suitability.

What could solar mean for your business?

The potential return on investment varies from one site to another. We can help you explore the factors that influence project viability, including your electricity consumption, available space, system size, installation costs, maintenance considerations and expected generation.

Our goal is to help you understand the opportunity before making a commitment.
