Are Solar Panels Worth The Money?
Whatever your energy needs, adding solar to your energy mix will ensure that you own your energy output. From day one of being operational, our solar leasing customers make instant savings (or occasionally break-even) as a result of their reduced energy bills.
You can choose to buy your panels outright which is the cheapest option. However you can also lease solar panels with no upfront costs. There are multiple options available to you, including leasing your panels on an asset or operational lease, or leasing your roof through a power purchase agreement (PPA). This allows you to purchase back the power supply at a reduced rate. We are here to help you find the right service for your company; contact us via email or phone to have a chat about the best options for your business needs.
Much like once you’ve paid off a mortgage on a house, after the leasing period is finished, you will own your solar panels outright, therefore, owning part of your electricity supply. The best part about using solar panels for your electricity needs is it’s 100% renewable energy. You also spend significantly less time plugging into the UK National Grid (‘the grid’) for your electricity, thus safeguarding you from future rises in wholesale pricing.
Despite the UK’s reputation for bad weather, we actually get enough light to power solar panels every day! This means that you can use the electricity which your building is freely producing every day without having to import from the National Grid. This can significantly bring down the amount you spend on your annual energy costs.
Not every roof is a perfect location for solar panel technology. If you can’t utilise the roof space that you had in mind, that doesn’t mean that solar panels aren’t for you; there are plenty of options available such as using your building’s car park for ground-mounted solar panels. Learn more in our 4 Easy Steps To Solar Power Systems For Your Business.
You can choose to buy as many or as little panels as you like. By discussing your energy needs with you and conducting a virtual site survey, we can help you with how many and what size panels are needed for the surface area being covered, to suit your business interests.
Will My Solar Panels Cost More Money Than What I Make Back?
You can start saving money on your energy bills once your solar panels are up and running. Long-term, solar energy is a cheaper power supply than fossil fuels. Because the panels are used for your business and you are likely to be using the bulk of your energy needs during daylight hours (such as operating computers, machines or an employee’s tea break!) you’ll make the money back on your investment in no time.
