Commercial electrical usage has long been seen as a behemoth that can only be tamed using massive quantities of power directly from the grid. Renewable energies have either been left to the public for piecemeal installation, or to the energy companies to build enormous wind and solar farms.
However, times are changing and solar is quickly gaining in popularity with commercial enterprises. Businesses of all sizes recognise the benefits of harnessing the sun’s power.
The Rising Popularity of Commercial Solar Panels
Commercial solar panels are no longer an uncommon sight on rooftops of businesses across the UK. The reason? A combination of environmental consciousness and financial prudence. Companies are increasingly aware of both their carbon footprint and increasing electricity costs, particularly in 2022/2023. Solar panels provide a tangible, effective method for doing so, while reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
This increase in popularity is also driven by the continually falling costs of solar technology, and a rising level of research into alternative locations to install solar panels, such as on large exposed vertical surfaces. As production efficiency increases and economies of scale come into play, solar panels become an increasingly affordable investment for businesses.
The Cost-effectiveness of Solar Energy for Business
The cost-effectiveness of solar energy in businesses is a critical factor driving its adoption. We have overseen installations on a wide variety of commercial sites, including:
- Factories & warehouses
- Schools
- Retirement homes
- Hospitals
- Offices
- Bars & Restaurants
- Hotels
- Retail
The upfront costs for solar installation can seem high, but thanks to the savings in terms of monthly energy bills mean that large-scale installations can pay for themselves in as little as 10 years.
Impacts and Benefits: How Solar Energy Is Revolutionising the Commercial Sector
Solar energy is a game-changer for the commercial sector. While we may be passing the point where new customers can be called “early adopters”, solar is still a largely untapped area in the commercial sector, and there is plenty of scope for businesses to jump in and be vocal about it. Businesses that adopt the technology are liable to be seen as forward-thinking and environmentally conscious, enhancing their reputation among customers and partners. This can lead to a bump in sales by eco-conscious consumers.
Moreover, solar energy provides a degree of energy independence. Businesses are less affected by fluctuations in energy prices and can better predict their long-term energy costs. Recent years have demonstrated how vital such stability can be for businesses and consumers alike.
