Planning to install solar is always a big decision, especially for a business with different considerations to make and accommodate such as scaffolding, deliveries, H&S etc. However, the reality is not a big upheaval if you use a reputable installer, and you could see ROI in around the four-year marker.
Using a Reputable Installer
Its important to use a reputable installer for a long list of reasons. Any reputable installer would have specific processes to ensure your panels are installed with minimum fuss and interruption to your business. Planning and communication are key, so the transparency of the projects means there are no nasty surprises.
ROI of your Solar Panel Install
This depends on several factors including number of panels, orientation, usage etc. However, it is not unusual to see a ROI around four years – see example below.
Example - 150 panels with installed DC power at 59.76 and net payment of £53,580 with annual energy production at 55.79mwh, seeing a ROI in 4.2 years*. Potential lifetime bill savings of £331,945*.
*Based on Octopus Utility Rate of 39p (0.39 £/kWh) and Export Rate of 0.07p (0.07 £/kWh) and current monthly bill of £1,570.83.
