A guide to the choices when considering solar panels for your business in the coming year
It looks like in 2025 there will be no let up in the rising cost of traditionally sourced energy and so it's probably a good time to research and implement a renewable energy strategy for your business and that probably should include solar panel installation.
Solar panels not only reduce your carbon footprint, it helps your customers understand that you have a 'green' agenda and that's before you even get to cut in electricity bills that can be achieved.
Initially the amount of information out there could look overwhelming but our experienced team have got this down to a fine art and can help you make the right choices for your business - no matter what size.
The switch to renewable sources is not only gaining momentum it's now a key consideration in planning for the future of your business and its energy sustainability.
There are several types of solar technologies available today, each suited for different applications, environments, and efficiency needs. Here’s a breakdown of the main solar technologies:
These are the most common type of solar technology used for generating electricity. They convert sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor materials, typically silicon-based. There are several types of PV solar panels:
Use Case: Commercial and industrial rooftops, ground-mounted installations, and large-scale solar farms.

Having generated electricity from the sun, your business may have the need to store that power rather than use straight away. in that case a suitable battery storage system would be appropriate...
These systems store excess energy generated by solar panels for use when the sun is not shining, ensuring a consistent power supply. Battery storage is often paired with PV systems to provide backup power and increase energy independence. Not only can these batteries store energy from solar panels, if you are on a split rate electricity tariff, they can be used to store energy from the grid at the cheaper rate, for use during peak times.
Use Case: Businesses and off-grid locations where energy storage is needed.
All of the above technologies are tried, tested and improving all the time but what's coming next?...
Ultimately, the system you choose to power your factory or farm will depend on many factors including environmental and locational so contact our friendly and knowledgable team for a free survey into the potential of solar energy for your business...
