I have to say that Kat and the team were excellent. Despite a few mis-communications, that were resolved. The install was fast and efficient, and after 3 months, no problems. I would reccommend.

The company was back and forth with me several times as not a strait forward installation. I was retro fitting battery to an original solar system with FIT. The solution was agreed and equipment fitted by a well presented and knowledgeable on site team. Calls from the office to keep me updated as I had a few visits. Small deposit requested allowing the job to progress with no other money requested until full installation was completed to my liking.

The Importance of Retail Solar Installations

Energy bills are one of the highest operating costs for retailers. Lighting, HVAC systems, refrigeration and POS systems all drive up electricity consumption. Businesses are left vulnerable to rising energy costs and increasing reliance on fossil fuels and energy suppliers.

Solar installations for retail businesses offer added protection from unpredictable energy bills and a strong shift towards sustainable energy production.

The benefits of solar panel installation include:

  • Reduced electricity bills
  • Protection against rising energy prices
  • Greater energy independence by generating electricity independently
  • Lower carbon emissions
  • Enhanced brand reputation through visible environmental responsibility initiatives towards a sustainable future
  • Reduced reliance on grid electricity
  • Opportunity to export excess electricity back to the grid for Smart Export Guarantee incentives
  • Long-term savings that outweigh the initial solar installation costs
  • Advanced infrastructure that helps reduce your environmental impact and protect your business operations.

A professionally installed solar panel system helps businesses generate their own electricity while maintaining optimal performance across their operations. More businesses in the retail industry are transitioning to clean energy to take advantage of a reduced carbon footprint and lower energy costs.

FAQs About our Solar Solutions for Retailers

Here are our answers to some common questions.

Most solar panel systems don’t require planning permission when installed within permitted development guidelines. Other factors, such as visibility, building types, and local authority requirements, may influence approvals.

We can help guide you through all planning permission considerations before installation begins.

The cost of your commercial solar panels depends on your energy demand, roof size, and system capacity. We’ll also assess whether battery storage should be included. A full site survey and energy assessment are needed before we can provide businesses with a quote.

No, we install solar PV systems outside of trading hours or in phased sections to reduce disruption to your operations.
