Commercial Solar
Smart businesses are switching to solar to reduce operating costs and visibly demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
The Business Case For Commercial Solar Is Strong
The ROI of commercial solar is undeniable. Our experts will help you build the business case and provide precise modelling to predict your company's expected returns – now, and as energy prices rise.
The Benefits Of Solar For Your Business
Operate On Free Energy
Installing solar on your business transforms unused land or roof space into an asset that actively reduces overheads and operating costs. The returns are especially good if your business uses a lot of power during the day.
Decarbonise Your Business
Pressure to decarbonise business is rising. Investing in commercial solar reduces emissions – with detailed monitoring and data for ESG reporting – and shows customers you're committed to sustainability.

Common Questions About Commercial Solar
Find the answers here or contact us to discuss your project.
Do Businesses Require A Different Solar Set-Up To Homes?
The principles of solar design and installation are the same for businesses and residential homes. We’ll take into account your location, energy profile and priorities to design a system that works for your business. Because businesses are often high energy users during the daytime, they can maximise self-consumption and often see even better returns than residential users.
How Can Solar Save My Business Money?
If your business has unused roof space, this can be transformed into an asset that actively reduces your everyday operating costs by supplying free power from the sun direct to your business.
How Does Solar Help With Future Business Forecasting?
Solar effectively ‘fixes’ the price you will pay for power for the life of the system. This not only saves you money, but also provides business certainty freeing you from the rising cost of power.
Does Solar Offer A Good Return On Investment For Businesses?
Solar offers an excellent return on investment, especially for energy hungry businesses who can maximise self-consumption during the day. Typically businesses with solar see a 10-20% return on investment.
Can You Provide Modeling To Help Me Build The Business Case For Solar?
Our experts will help you build the business case and provide precise modelling to predict your returns – now, and as energy prices rise.
Is Solar A Depreciating Asset?
Yes, a solar system is a depreciating asset and businesses can claim depreciation deductions to reduce their taxable income.
Will Solar Reduce My Businesses Carbon Footprint?
Powering your business with renewable solar energy reduces your emissions – with detailed monitoring and data for ESG reporting – and is a visible statement of your commitment to sustainability.
