Why Choose Solar for Your Business?
Why Commercial businesses are turning to solar.
Cut Energy Costs
Installing solar panels allows your business to generate electricity on-site, reducing your dependence on the grid and significantly lowering your monthly energy bills. With energy prices continuing to rise, solar provides cost stability and long-term savings.
Boost Energy Independence
By producing your own renewable energy, your business becomes less reliant on traditional energy providers. With battery storage, you can store excess power, avoid peak-time charges, and stay operational even during grid outages.
Improve Sustainability
Switching to solar is one of the most impactful ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Generating clean electricity on-site helps cut down greenhouse gas emissions and supports your environmental goals.
Access Financial Incentives
Commercial solar systems often deliver a return on investment within 5–7 years. With grants and government-backed incentives available, the initial costs are more manageable leaving you to benefit from long-term savings.
How Commercial Solar Panels Work?
Commercial solar panels—commonly known as photovoltaic (PV) systems—capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity for businesses. These systems are typically installed on rooftops or as ground-mounted arrays on commercial properties.
The process works as follows:
- Solar cells, usually made from semiconductor materials like silicon, absorb sunlight.
- This sunlight is then converted into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect.
- The generated direct current (DC) is passed through an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) suitable for standard electrical systems.
- The AC electricity powers your building’s operations, reducing your dependence on the national grid.
The overall system design its size, layout, and output—is shaped by factors such as your business’s energy needs, the available installation space, and local weather conditions.
Types of Solar Panels
We can carry out installations in in Mansfield and Nottingham 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.
