Solar PV panels enable thousands of businesses across the UK to generate free electricity, lower their energy bills, earn extra income by selling electricity back into the grid, and reduce their environmental impact. If your business premises can accommodate solar panels on its roof, installing solar could be an invaluable move in terms of long-term sustainability. Here, we explore the benefits of installing solar panels for businesses in the UK.

Why invest in solar panels for your business?
Solar panels are an attractive investment for businesses of any size and in any sector that want to reduce costs, generate additional income streams, reduce reliance on rising energy prices, and decrease their carbon footprint. The more energy your operation uses, the greater the benefit for both you and the environment from installing them.
Energy prices have steadily been on the rise over time By producing your own electricity via solar panels, you can reduce reliance on the mains supply and the associated fluctuating prices, which should simplify budgeting and forecasting. Solar panels generate free energy that could save money through lower energy costs. Each kWh generated is one less you have to buy from suppliers; when taken together with the currently high average cost per kWh, using free solar power could drastically cut expenses and overheads.
Storage
Even if your business operates during evening and/or night hours, solar energy can still be put to good use. Many businesses install a storage battery facility alongside their solar panels to store any unused electricity. This is then made available for night-time use or, indeed, any days on which dull weather results in lower solar panel output.
