With the ever-rising energy costs, investing in something new can be intimidating, but commercial solar panels are one of the best decisions you can make for your business in this current climate.

Commercial solar panel installation can drastically reduce your energy costs, as well as improving your corporate social responsibility, making a great addition to your business.

Commercial solar PV systems

The majority of businesses operate during the daytime and use a lot of energy. This is why commercial solar PV systems are perfect for your business as they generate electricity during the day. Solar energy is one of the fastest growing energy sources, so why not get started with the process today?

Advantages of investing in solar energy for your business

At Power and Control, we want you to understand the benefits of investing in solar energy so we can work with you to make the most suitable solar PV system for your business. 

Reduce costs

Solar panels are a great way to save on your business’ energy costs. By installing solar panels, your business will use less energy from the grid, instead relying on the energy generated from your solar panels to power your premises.

Reducing your reliance on the National Grid will mean your company will spend less money, cutting your costs to ensure your business remains as profitable as possible.

Lower your carbon footprint

As a company, it’s great to push a green initiative and lowering your carbon footprint is one of the best ways to do this.

A carbon footprint is measured based on the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of an organisations activity. Installing a solar PV system will reduce the carbon output of your business, as your energy will be produced from the sun. A typical solar panel can save over 900kg of CO₂ per year, so by installing commercial solar panels you can significantly reduce your company’s carbon output.

Low maintenance

One of the greatest things about solar panels is that they are self-cleaning. There’s no need to pay extra costs for maintenance packages as it’s simply not needed. Their low maintenance qualities make them a great option for your business. These panels will continue to work for years to come, with no need for regular upkeep.

Energy security

Installing a company solar PV system means you will be less reliant on the National Grid as you are generating your own electricity. This will save you money and reduce the strain on the grid. If there was to be a power cut or another type of outage, your business is less likely to be affected as it can rely on reserve energy stored in batteries.

Competitive advantage

Many people spend a lot of time looking for green products and companies. By investing in solar energy for your business, you will appeal to a lot of customers looking for a sustainable business to support. A commercial solar PV system shows people that you are committed to making greener choices, which in turn boosts your corporate social responsibility, meaning there’s a good chance customers will choose you over your competitors.
