Commercial Solar Installation

Solar installation for commercial buildings

Commercial buildings often have substantial roof space and significant energy demands, making them ideal candidates for solar panel and battery installations. Businesses can take control of their own electricity supply to generate and store renewable electricity on-site. In doing so this reduces energy costs, improves energy security, and promotes sustainability. All of this can be implemented with great tax efficiency.

Financial Benefits

Reduced Energy Costs

Solar panels generate free electricity, reduce reliance on the grid and protect your business against rising energy prices. Those with high daytime energy consumption can save significantly on electricity costs.

Smart Export Guarantee

Any excess electricity generated can be exported to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), further offsetting costs and providing an additional income stream.

Combining Solar Panels with Battery Storage

Pairing solar PV systems with battery storage maximises your energy savings. By storing surplus electricity generated by your Solar PV system, your business can use it during peak times instead of exporting it to the grid. While standalone solar PV provide significant savings, the addition of battery storage further increases returns. With a usually faster payback period, higher IRR, and revenue from multiple streams, businesses can transform their energy infrastructure into an even more profitable asset.

Long Term ROI

Payback periods vary depending on factors such a roof orientation, array size and energy usage but a system will continue to generate free electricity for 25+ years. This leads to substantial long-term savings and a strong return on investment. These calculations will be modelled to you in a proposal.

Government Tax Relief

Solar and Battery systems qualify for tax relief under the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA). Businesses can deduct the full cost of the solar system from their taxable profits in the year of purchase, subject to the AIA cap.

Increased Property Value

Properties with solar installations are more attractive to buyers and tenants, potentially increasing rental yields and property value.

Environmental Benefits

Increased EPC Ratings

Solar PV are a great way to improve your EPC rating.

The UK government has established a series of targets to improve the energy efficiency of commercial properties through the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings:

April 2023: All leased commercial buildings are required to have a minimum EPC rating of 'E'.

April 2028: The interim milestone for commercial properties to achieve a minimum EPC rating of 'C'

April 2030: The ultimate goal is for all commercial properties to attain a minimum EPC rating of 'B'

Landlords who don't meet the minimum standard can face financial penalties.

Carbon Footprint

By switching to solar energy, your organisation can significantly reduce its carbon footprint, aligning with the growing commitment for companies to reach net-zero carbon emissions.

Research by the Carbon Trust found that customers increasingly expect companies to make sound ethical decisions, with green businesses attracting new customers.

CSR Credentials

For businesses with sustainability goals, solar also enhances corporate social responsibility (CSR) credentials, which can attract customers and partners.
