Why Solar Makes Sense for Businesses in Colchester

As energy prices continue to climb, switching to solar gives your business greater financial control and long-term cost stability. Commercial solar panels allow you to produce your own electricity, dramatically reducing reliance on the national grid.

With the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can also benefit from selling surplus energy back to the grid – turning your roof space into a valuable asset. Going solar also helps meet sustainability targets and enhances your environmental credentials, which is increasingly important to clients and stakeholders.

Bespoke Systems for Commercial and Industrial Properties

No two businesses are the same. That’s why we begin with a free site assessment, taking into account your energy needs, available roof space, daily consumption patterns, and future scalability. Every system is designed for maximum efficiency and performance, built around your specific site and business operations.

We also offer battery storage systems, enabling you to store excess electricity for use at peak times or overnight, further improving energy efficiency and self-sufficiency.

What do solar panels do?

Solar panels harness the power of the sun to generate electricity. This power can then be used for anything electrical in the property, whether that be your TV, Electric Car Charger or Washing Machine.

In most cases definitely! as long as you have roof space, you can have a solar system. Solar panels perform best if they are on a south facing roof but can be placed on any roof as long as the sun can reach it. We can take a quick look at your property using our design software and within minutes you will know how many panels will fit on your roof.

This will all depend on the location of the equipment. We have to get a cable from the solar panels to an inverter and then to your fuseboard. This is usually done externally using conduit in a colour of your choice but we will always consult you to make sure it is as least invasive as possible.

There are a few factors that dictate if a battery is needed. These include, your lifestyle, consumption, system size and budget. In a normal solar system, any energy you don’t use from the solar panels will automatically be sent back to the national grid (for up to 7.5p/kWh) whereas if you store the energy you can use it when you would have paid 4-5 times that amount for the same kWh, so in most cases a battery is advisable.

This depends on a number of factors including system size, consumption, current electricity price and whether you have a battery or not. As a general rule of thumb, if you can fit the size system you require on your roof, we aim for an electricity bill offset of 50% with just solar panels and 80% with solar panels with a battery.

Yes, we install a range of different systems including air source heat pumps, solar assisted heat pumps and Solar PV immersion controllers that can reduce your heating needs.
