How Much Do Solar Panels Cost For A Business?

The price of a solar panel changes depending on the type of materials it’s made from , as well as the size and brand. This is without including installation charges and other aspects of getting solar panels installed. For example: having to fix an area of damaged roof before being able to install panels up there.

The Average Cost of a Commercial Solar Panel Unit.

On average, you are looking anywhere from £15,000 – £70,000 for a set of commercial solar panels. Although this will change depending on how many you want to install. Once again, we heavily recommend enquiring about a free solar panel survey as this gives you the best possible first step.

Afterall, solar panels have an average life expectancy of 25 years. At a quarter of a century, knowing your average energy usage as a business is about what’s cost-effective in the long run – not just immediately. Solar panel installation companies are experienced in this area and conducting a survey helps us to best understand your needs.

For example: something as small as your business only being active during daylight hours means that you probably don’t need a battery. This makes your installation cheaper than one of the same size, who might need a battery as they tend to be more active at night (pubs and hospitality venues for instance).

While there are no grants currently being offered, certain businesses are able to claim tax reliefs by switching to renewable energy. There are also funding options available if your business falls within the public sector. Local council, public swimming baths, schools, etc.

This is alongside the previously mentioned Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) which allows you to sell excess energy back to the national grid. However you must have a smart meter installed to measure how much electricity you are exporting, to qualify for SEG.

To wrap up…

We are unable to tell you how much solar panels cost for a business without working with you. But that is why we are here, don’t hesitate to inquire about a survey if you’re interested in installing solar panels for your business.

BENEFITS:

  • Reduced utility costs means less expenditure and higher profits as a result.
  • Utility rates are rising rapidly in the UK so there’s no better time to install solar.
  • Depending on the amount of electricity used, you will make a few pennies worth of savings per KWh. This doesn’t sound like much, but with standing charges also rising, this amount will quickly add up over the months, let alone 25 years!
