COMMERCIAL SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
Introduction to Commercial Solar Panels
GB NRG specialises in commercial solar panel installations, delivering comprehensive design, installation, and maintenance services for solar PV to businesses across the UK.
Given the exceptional returns from solar panels, this technology stands out as a leading sustainable solution. Thousands of UK businesses have transitioned to solar to fuel their operations. With 14 years of expertise in solar PV, we offer industry-leading advice and top-notch installations.
THE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES
The Economic Benefits
Investing in commercial solar panels can yield substantial financial advantages for businesses.
Once considered niche, solar technology has rapidly evolved over the past decade, transitioning from experimental to the fastest-growing global energy source.
Today, technological and financial advancements have propelled solar into the mainstream, making it a cost-competitive, mass-produced solution.
A standard commercial solar panel system produces free electricity for over 25 years, with installation costs recouped in approximately 3-5 years.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF COMMERCIAL SOLAR
The Environmental Advantages
Solar panels play a pivotal role in significantly reducing organisational carbon footprints. A standard 250kWp solar PV system can offset around 64 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to driving 155,000 miles in a petrol car. Institutions like Bristol City Council and Bristol University have declared climate emergencies, committing to achieve net-zero carbon status by 2030.
ROOFTOP SOLAR PANELS FOR BUSINESSES
Everything Rooftop Solar
With the substantial rise in energy prices, interest in commercial solar panels has reached unprecedented levels. Businesses, seeking to gain control over their electricity supply, turn to solar panels for reliable and cost-effective on-site power.
Mounting solar panels on the premises’ roof stands out as the most popular method to generate clean energy for business use. This versatile solution is adaptable to various roof types, including flat roofs. Our track record includes successful installations for a diverse range of brands across industries, such as Bradfords, Crendon Timber Engineering and a very substantial rooftop solar project at Avalon Plastics in Glastonbury, attesting to our expertise and reliability.
GROUND MOUNT SOLAR PANELS FOR BUSINESSES
Ground-Mount Solar Systems
Solar panels are adaptable to various roof types, even those with asbestos. However, if your roof’s shape, orientation, skylights, or vents pose challenges, a ground-mounted solar system becomes an ideal solution. Our offerings include diverse mounting systems, tailored to your needs.
INTEGRATING BATTERY STORAGE TO COMMERCIAL SOLAR PANELS
Solar Panels + Battery Storage
Pairing a commercial solar panel system with a battery storage solution is an excellent strategy to maximise the energy savings generated by your solar panels. By storing and utilising all the free electricity produced, rather than exporting it back to the grid, your business can achieve even more significant savings.
On-site energy storage reduces reliance on the National Grid, safeguarding your business from potential brownouts and energy rationing, enabling continuous operations even when competitors may face disruptions.
FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS FOR SOLAR
Financial Solutions For Solar Investments
While self-financing remains the preferred method for acquiring commercial solar panels, offering optimal returns over the system’s lifespan, budget constraints or a preference to allocate capital differently can influence companies’ choices.
GB NRG collaborates with top UK financial institutions, providing diverse financing options, including asset finance, hire purchase, and power purchase agreements (solar panel PPA). Our commitment is to offer tailored financial advice and bespoke packages to suit your specific business needs.
