    Why Choose Solar for Your Business?

    Commercial businesses installing solar panels can benefit from the following advantages:

    Lower Operational Costs
    Solar panels can significantly reduce your business’s electricity bills by generating your own power on-site. With rising grid energy costs, going solar locks in lower, predictable costs and protects your bottom line.

    Reduced Reliance on Traditional Energy Solutions
    Generate your own power and reduce reliance on the national grid. With battery storage, your business can operate through power cuts and avoid peak-time tariffs.

    Positive Environmental Impact
    Switching to solar energy is one of the most effective steps a business can take to reduce its environmental and carbon footprint. By generating clean energy, renewable electricity on-site, solar panels help cut down reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

    Potential Government Incentives
    Commercial solar systems typically pay for themselves within 5–7 years. After that, the savings go straight to your business. With government incentives and grants available, the upfront investment is more accessible than ever.

    How The Process Works:

    How Commercial Solar Panels Work?

    Commercial solar panels – often referred to as photovoltaic (PV) systems capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity for businesses. These systems are commonly installed on rooftops or in ground-mounted arrays on commercial premises.

    Here’s how the process works:

    • Solar cells, typically made from semiconductor materials like silicon, absorb sunlight.
    • Through the photovoltaic effect, the solar energy is converted into an electrical current.
    • An inverter then transforms the generated direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), which is compatible with standard electrical systems.
    • The resulting AC electricity powers the building’s operations and reduces reliance on the national grid.

    The size, layout, and performance of a solar system are influenced by the business’s energy requirements, available installation space, and local weather conditions.

    Types of Solar Panels

    We can carry out installations in Lancashire on the following types of solar panels. If you are still unsure on which type of solar panel to install? For advice, call our experts today on 01253 283050. 

 


    Monocrystalline panels:

    Are made from a single, high purity silicon crystal, they are used for their high efficiency and sleek black appearance. Ideal for businesses with limited roof space, flat or pitched rooftops, carports or office blocks and warehouse factories.

    Polycrystalline panels:

    More cost-effective and are made from multiple silicon fragments melted together. Ideal for installations on businesses with larger roof areas, agricultural buildings, workshops and medium sized industrial premises with constraint budgets.

    Thin-film panels:

    Are lightweight and flexible, made from materials like cadmium telluride or amorphous silicon. Although they have lower efficiency, these panels are suitable for buildings with large flat roofs, curved or irregular surfaces, weight limitations, or those requiring aesthetic flexibility.

    Bifacial panels:

    They can generate electricity from both the front and back sides, capturing reflected sunlight from surfaces like white roofs or the ground. These panels are ideal for installation on elevated arrays, open car parks or reflective commercial rooftops with high solar exposure. They are best suited for businesses looking to maximise energy output per panel.

    Testimonial Fairhaven Golf Club

    Following several recommendations, we engaged with Airis to deliver a solar project here at Fairhaven Golf Club. As an organisation, we prioritise sustainability throughout our working practices and to partner with a company that shared these values was most beneficial to the process. The project will see our annual grid consumption reduce by over 12% resulting in around 21,000 kWh of energy each year being generated. During the planning stages, we encountered several issues which the team at Airis helped to resolve. Their understanding, flexibility and practice applications made the whole process seamless. We could not recommend Airis more highly.

    Testimonial Hambleton Primary Academy, Over Wyre

    We sourced Airis Energy Solutions alongside the Green Business Fund / Carbon Trust to install a full school LED Smart Lighting system. All our lighting was extremely outdated and was failing more frequently, at a significant cost each time. There is no capital outlay and the installation of new lights was a very efficient process, with all the old lighting being taken off-site afterwards. It has significantly improved the appearance around school, has reduced our maintenance costs to zero, reduced our CO2 emissions and will reduce our energy consumption over time.

    Testimonial Lostock Hall Academy, Preston

    To the Airis team. Just to let you know that we’re really happy with the work and the difference in the quality of the lighting. Your guys were a credit to you with their work ethic, getting so much done at night and also over weekends. I am more than happy to recommend your services in the future.

    Gary Tiller, Lostock Hall Academy, Preston
    Testimonial RAP Spiderweb LTD, Manchester

    From start to finish Dave and his colleagues were fantastic to deal with. Very straight forward and completely transparent about the service. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Airis to anyone who is interested. We had no disruption to our very busy factory and the fitters could not do enough. All in all, an excellent job!

    James Tattum, RAP Spiderweb LTD, Manchester
    Testimonial McDonald's

    As a business owner, I’m always trying to save money. It wasn’t until I worked with Airis Energy Solutions that I realised just how much money I was needlessly spending on energy. Thank-you.

    Christian Sandoval, McDonald's Owner Operator
    Testimonial Athertons Carpets, Blackpool

    I would be more than happy to recommend the Airis scheme and service. We have had all our lighting replaced with the Airis scheme, with this we have had no outlay or cost to ourselves.We are delighted with the results and would therefore recommend Airis to other businesses like ourselves.
