Solar PV For Retail Businesses

Solar panel installation is becoming more and more popular for many different businesses. The retail sector is adopting solar panels at an increased pace in order to help with the overall running of their buildings and reduce the amount that they spend on energy bills. Solar panels are a fantastic investment for businesses in the retail sector. The main benefits that you can expect to see when installing solar panels for your business are:

Reduced energy costs thanks to self-generated power. Your PV system will be able to manage your building load, using free solar power as the primary source of electricity. Supplementary grid electricity will meet any extra demand.
Your energy needs are met using clean electricity, generated without the need for fossil fuels.
You’re in control of your energy and have less dependence on the grid. If your business is open during the day, you’ll be able to generate power during these peak times.
You can choose to have a battery fitted to your system you will be able to store surplus electricity for use when generation slows.
If you have environmentally conscious clients or customers, then this is another benefit. More and more people are actively choosing to shop or work with businesses that have green credentials. This allows you to promote your business and your green credentials.

Generate Your Own Electricity For Your Business

The main benefit of installing solar panels for your retail business is that you are able to generate your own clean electricity. This can be used to directly power your commercial property or stored in a battery system. Your solar panels will operate in the peak times when your business is open, and this can power your building. This saves you money on energy bills and moves you away from dependency on the grid.

Battery storage can supplement solar PV systems, giving more useable power throughout the day. This is particularly helpful to balance the energy load of your building and deliver better cost savings across the years.

Environmental Responsibility is Becoming More and More Important to Consumers

Especially for younger generations, businesses’ green credentials are highly important and are affecting what and how they buy. This means that investing in your social responsibility pledges and reducing your environmental impact are a great way to align with your customers and avoid alienating them from shopping or obtaining services elsewhere. Solar panels are a great investment in saving you money on your energy bills, but they also make your premises more environmentally friendly.

Is My Commercial Property Suitable for Solar Panel Installation?

Solar PV systems work well on commercial roofs, especially those that are south facing. Systems can be installed on flat roofs, or in some cases ground or canopy mounts are preferable. Planning permission may be required for some commercial PV systems; we can advise on the restrictions at the consultation stage. Solar PV panels are low maintenance but we recommend annual maintenance to ensure long-term system performance and safety.
