Solar PV for
your Business
Installing solar PV for your business is an excellent way to secure your business’s long-term future and protect both your business and its customers from the rising price of heating your premises.
As energy prices continue to rise due to the increasing scarcity of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, along with government legislation prompting companies to seek more sustainable power sources, turning to solar PV for your business’s energy needs has become a logical solution.
Switching to solar PV allows your business to generate free, renewable solar energy that benefits both your finances and the environment.
Fossil fuel energy sources release harmful chemicals into the environment, whereas renewable energy sources like solar rely entirely on naturally occurring sources such as the sun to generate energy (for more on how solar energy works, visit our ‘Solar PV’ page).
In recent years, the cost of installing a solar PV system for your business has significantly decreased, making solar one of the most popular choices for companies embracing renewable energy. Installing solar PV for your business is one of the most cost-effective methods of meeting your energy needs.
In addition to the money solar PV could save your business on energy bills, there’s the provider-led SEG scheme. Owners who install solar PV systems for their business are paid for the green energy they produce, as well as any excess energy they sell back to the grid.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is available to businesses with a solar system that meets the specified energy criteria.
