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 of Commercial Solar Panels

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


Rooftop Commercial Solar Panels

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


Commercial 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.

// FAQ

Will my business operations be impacted during a solar panel installation?

Most likely no, there may be minor disruptions to business operations during a solar panel installation, such as noise, limited access to certain areas, or temporary changes in power supply.

Is it still viable to install solar panels post the closure of the Feed-in Tariff?

Yes, installing solar panels is still viable post the closure of the Feed-in Tariff. While the Feed-in Tariff provided financial incentives for generating renewable energy, the decreasing cost of solar technology and the potential for savings on electricity bills make solar installations economically attractive for many businesses. Additionally, various financing options, tax incentives, and net metering programs can further enhance the financial viability of solar installations.

What factors should businesses consider before installing solar panels?

Businesses should consider factors such as available roof space, orientation and tilt of the roof, local climate conditions, shading from nearby structures or trees, energy consumption patterns, upfront costs, available incentives, and return on investment.

What is the lifespan of solar panels, and do they experience a decrease in efficiency over time?

The lifespan of solar panels is typically around 25 to 30 years, and while they may experience a slight decrease in efficiency over time, modern panels degrade at a rate of around 0.5% to 1% per year, ensuring they remain highly efficient for decades.
