As a business owner, one of your responsibilities is to keep your overheads low without sacrificing the quality of your services, products, or operational duties. So, you might wonder if it’s worth it to install commercial solar panels on your property.
The short answer is yes; solar PV systems are worth the investment. The panels generally last for a minimum of 25 years, and modern panels have fewer maintenance requirements preventing any future costs. Your commercial building can passively generate enough energy for your operational needs for decades by harvesting power from the sun. (yes, even in Scotland!)
A commercial solar PV system installation from Solar Edge Protection will also be sure to provide a return on your investment, thanks to our expert installations. The quality of PV panels and the technology available these days is far better than it was in the past.
The reduction in equipment costs plus the 25 year fixed cost for energy production, low maintenance, and our expert installation results in up to a 70% saving on your electricity vs the cost of paying for your electric from the national grid. Today, a 100kW commercial solar PV system can yield an ROI of up to 18% with a payback period of just over 5 years.
Just like we offer for domestic customers, commercial properties can benefit from solar battery storage as well. Once again, the Tesla Powerwall is the popular battery for commercial customers.
