With energy bills rising faster than ever, more and more businesses are scrambling to figure out how they are going to foot their energy bills. Many commercial businesses are choosing to protect their company from rising energy bills by investing in commercial solar panels. 

Protect your business in the face of rising energy bills

While a commercial solar PV system is an upfront investment, it will immediately start to reduce your energy bill. By generating sustainable solar energy, you are creating your own power and limiting your demand on the grid. Once the initial amortisation period is over you are effectively generating free electricity to run your company. Furthermore, the excess energy not being immediately used, can be stored in a battery on-site for  use when required later in the day, or sold back to the grid if you have a suitable export tariff, giving you the opportunity to  make a profit.

Strive towards energy independence 

While 100% energy independence is hard to achieve without a full off grid system with additional generator, you can gain a large degree of energy independence and strive towards Net Zero by investing in solar panels and battery storage. By installing the right solar panels for your business, you are protecting a portion of your energy supply from energy price increases caused by world events and market fluctuations, beyond anyone’s control.

Invest in your future, and your peace of mind 

Having a comprehensive commercial solar PV system allows you to create a detailed 5-10 year energy forecast, which is something most businesses are unable to do. By being aware of your future energy expenditures and by tracking trends, you take back control of your energy usage, garner peace of mind for your stakeholders and shareholders.

Additional  benefits of commercial solar panels 

Commercial PV systems are a worthwhile investment to protect your business from rising energy bills, but if those reasons weren’t enough, here are some further benefits;

• Reducing your carbon footprint and increasing your green credentials
• Enabling a more positive ESG score
• Protecting your business operation from power outages and weaknesses in the grid
• Protecting the environment 
• Improved brand image for marketing purposes
• Improved staff retention, through better company image
