In the UK, there are already around one million homes benefitting from solar panel installations, however, when it comes to businesses using solar power as a greener alternative, there is an untapped potential for commercial buildings, schools, warehouses and car parks. If your business has ever considered switching to using more solar panels – let us tell you how your business can benefit massively from one of the best investments available, a commercial solar panel installation.
Reducing Energy Bills
Firstly, one of the most known reasons homes and businesses are starting to invest in solar panels is the reduction in electricity bills. Solar panels generate electricity from light, meaning that they’re able to provide a sustainable and free source of power once installed. By using solar panels as a source of electricity for your business needs, you can significantly lower your business’s reliance on grid power and as a result, reduce electricity bills.
A common misconception when it comes to solar panels is that they stop working during cloudy days or in the Winter, this is not true, solar panels will work however they will not be as efficient as they would be in direct sunlight. In fact, on cloudy days, solar panels absorb not only energy from the light we can see but also wavelengths that are able to pass through thick clouds, not visible to the eye. This means that even in Winter or on days when the sun isn’t shining, you can still reduce your electricity bills.
Low Maintenance Costs Compared to Traditional Energy Sources
One of the benefits of solar panels is that they’re designed to be low maintenance and run effectively and efficiently for years to come. Typically, the maintenance of commercial solar panels is not only much easier but also much cheaper than the maintenance of traditional energy sources.
Usually, solar panel maintenance will include removing debris and cleaning the panels. It will also include testing components and checking for electrical faults. The whole maintenance process is much simpler than the maintenance of traditional commercial energy sources, making it more cost and time-effective.
Increasing Your Property Value
If you’re a growing business, now could be the perfect time for a solar panel investment. Not only will installing solar panels decrease your electricity bills for the time being, if you own your business premises and happen to out-grow your current property, solar panels can help increase the value of your property when it comes to selling.
This also applies to landlords who are looking to make their properties more appealing to potential tenants and buyers.
Improving Brand Image
Finally, adopting solar energy will help demonstrate your business’s commitment to environmental responsibility to potential clients, customers, employees and investors. As everyone is working towards a more sustainable future, by showing your business as a sustainable industry leader, you can improve your brand image, attract more talent and increase revenue whilst decreasing bills.
