FAQsQuestions Answered

Why should I consider installing solar panels for my business?

Commercial Solar panels have become a popular choice for businesses looking to save on costs and make a positive impact on the environment.

Solar Panels can reduce costs for both industrial facilities and offices alike.

By displaying that you are committed to greener ways of working you can appeal to wider markets, resonate with your potential customers, improve your brand image and save on energy costs.

What are the requirements for installing commercial solar panels?

As long as you have available roof space and own your commercial property, you’ll be allowed to install solar panels with little issue.

Alternatively, if you don’t have the available roof space, we can support you to install a solar farm. However, this will require local council approval.

Getting approval for a large-scale commercial solar system will depend on a variety of factors including:

The visual impact of the system
The extent to which it will benefit the local community
The impact on the surrounding ecosystem
Local grid connectivity

Are there commercial solar grants available?

There is typically always a commercial solar grant available, but these change often and sometimes have requirements for eligibilty.

Our team stay up to date on all new grants and initiatives so call us on 01903 953 854 to discuss what grants you are eligable for.

Will I need planning permission for commercial roof-mounted solar panels?

In most cases, you will not need planning permission to install roof-mounted solar panels on your business.

There are exceptions, if you need to pitch (raise) the solar panels above a certain height or for larger scale projects but our team are happy to discuss and advise on your specific circumstances.

Simply give us a call today on 01903 953 854 or fill in a quote request.

How much roof space is needed for commercial solar panels?

The required roof space depends on the size of the solar panel system. A 4 kW system, which is where solar systems typically start, needs around 20-30 square meters of roof space.

Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?

Solar panels are generally low-maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional checks for shading or debris are recommended. Most systems come with monitoring tools to alert you to any performance issues.

Can solar panels be installed on any type of roof?

Solar panels can be installed on various roof types, including pitched roofs and flat roofs. The suitability depends on factors like roof orientation, structure, and shading.

How long does the installation process take for commercial solar panels?

The installation timeframe for a residential solar panel system typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size and complexity.

What is the lifespan of commercial solar panels?

Commercial solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with most manufacturers offering performance warranties that guarantee a certain level of efficiency over a specified period.

Can I store excess energy for use during the night or cloudy days?

Yes, businesses can consider adding energy storage systems (batteries) to store excess energy generated during sunny days for later use, providing power during periods of low solar generation.

How does the solar installation impact my business insurance?

Adding solar panels to your business may impact your insurance. It’s advisable to inform your insurance provider about the installation to ensure proper coverage.

What happens during power outages?

In a grid-tied system without energy storage, solar panels will automatically shut down during a power outage for safety reasons. If you have a battery system, you can continue to use stored energy during an outage.

Can I sell excess electricity back to the grid?

Yes, businesses can sell excess electricity back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), providing an additional source of income.
