We can’t give you an accurate idea of how much your project will cost without understanding the depths and breadths of your situation. However, the main expenses when installing a solar panel system for your business are the panels and the inverters. Larger systems may have slightly higher installation costs. Commercial solar panel installation costs around £0.20p per watt fitted, totaling approximately £2,000 (excl. VAT) for a 10kW system.

Once the initial installation costs are paid, there are minimal additional expenses. If you want an accurate estimation of how much money your project will cost, get a quick and easy quote now.

Solar panels tend to stop working at their optimal rate after 25 and 30 years. However, you may experience issues after five or so years because of a faulty solar PV inverter, which has a much shorter lifespan. These inverters play a really crucial role in converting the energy harnessed by the panels into electricity that powers your home. 

Luckily they can be replaced without costing the earth, and we can get your panels back up and running without a fuss. If you are experiencing a problem with your inverter, contact us soon.

This depends on a few things, such as the size of your premises and how much sunlight your building gets.

For context though, commercial solar PV energy production costs an average of 5p per kWh, whereas businesses currently pay suppliers between 11p and 15p per kWh. Investing in commercial solar panels is worthwhile even at current prices. Considering the current rapidly increasing cost of energy in the UK, there couldn’t be a better time to make the switch.

Yes! While solar panels require an initial investment of around £5,000, they typically pay for themselves within a decade. After that, they continue to significantly reduce your bills (sometimes by up to 90%) for many years. Solar has never been more affordable than it is now, so this is an incredibly opportune time to make the change.

Yes, solar panels work year-round and in all weather conditions. Granted, they do produce less energy in winter due to shorter days and lower sun position, but they actually operate more efficiently in cold temperatures compared to in the height of summer. Snowy days are not a concern either as properly mounted panels shed or melt the snow, ensuring continuous electricity generation.

Solar panels can potentially increase the value of your property by 4% to 14% on average. They are a worthwhile investment that can yield great returns. That being said, if you have plans to relocate soon, investing in solar panels may not be a wise decision. It’s unlikely that you will have fully recovered the initial investment by the time you move, and if you own the panels outright, relocating them can be challenging and expensive.
