Benefits of commercial solar panels

There are a multitude of benefits of commercial solar panel systems and we’ll share a few of them here.

Lower energy bills

A key benefit to commercial solar is the ability to drastically reduce your energy bills. By generating your own renewable energy, you’re offsetting whatever you generate against what you use.

For many businesses, this can be a significant saving. Even if energy prices go back to where they once were, every business will still save significantly on energy bills.

Clean renewable energy

Every business has a responsibility to operate as sustainably as possible. Customers and staff expect it and it’s good for the planet and for your reputation.

It’s also good for the wider world. You can generate free, clean energy during the day and use it however you need.

Using renewable energy looks good for your business and can significantly lower your CO2 emissions, which is a definite upside.

Sell excess energy

While the FIT (Feed In Tariff) is a thing of the past, you can still sell excess energy back to the grid for a profit. This can further offset energy costs and provide truly passive income for your business.

The Solar Energy Guarantee (SEG) states the National Grid has to buy your excess energy. There are a number of schemes operating around the country and tariffs differ by supplier, speak to your energy provider to find the best rates, the one we recommend is Octopus Flux. The SEG is definitely a way to realise ROI faster. 

Energy security

The past few years have shown us that few things we take for granted are truly dependable. That has caused many businesses to look for their own solutions to energy security.

Commercial solar panels are a simple, accessible way to achieve energy security.

You can generate energy during daylight even when it’s cloudy. You can offset a lot of your company’s energy demand and rest easy knowing that whatever happens in the world, you’ll always have electricity to remain productive.
