Richmond Swimming Pool

Richmond Swimming Pool approached us when their electricity bills reached a staggering £1.05 per kWh. They were desperate for relief, knowing just how energy-hungry pools can be.

We designed and installed an In-Roof Solar PV system that now produces 24,000kWh a year. With such high demand, they’re using every bit of that energy and saving nearly £25,000 each year.

The best part? It paid for itself in just 14 months.

Commercial Solar Panel FAQs

  • We would certainly say so. We’ve found that the average payback period for a commercial Solar system is approx. 5 years, which is significantly lower than that of a domestic system.

    If you’re high energy users, this can go down even further, our quickest payback period was 18 months! The savings along with the potential export income by selling to the grid is a great way to cut down on expenses.

  • Solar panel efficiency differs from panel to panel and manufacturer to manufacturer.

    But you can expect a Solar panel to be between 22-25% efficient in turning Solar energy into electricity.

  • Typical warranties for Commercial Solar panels are around 25 years and are the ones we typically offer.

    Although, we’ve found that as long as they are well-maintained, they can last much longer. We’d say up to 40 years for some systems!

  • You can indeed.

    As of 2024, Solar panels qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) which allows businesses to deduct the cost of a Solar panel system (up to £1 million) from the end of year profits before they need to calculate the tax that they owe, meaning it not only saves you on your electricity costs, but also your end of year tax requirements.

  • The installation of Solar panels falls under permitted development, meaning that there is no need to apply for planning permission for a Solar panel system.

    There are exceptions, which include the following – If it is a listed building, It is in a conservation area or it is a ground mount array. If it doesn’t fall into any of the above, then there’s need permission required!

  • This depends on several factors: your longer-term outlook on your business, projected energy costs and also your energy usage patterns. A high-energy user with scope for a larger (50kW+) system Solar PV can reasonably expect an amortisation period of 2-3 years. The shortest payback period for one of our installations was 14 months! If this kind of timescale fits within your long-term plans for your business, it can make very good sense to install a solar PV system - your landlord may even contribute to the cost.

    We have advanced Solar PV design software which models performance over a year in 5-minute intervals, if you have access to your Half-Hourly (HH) energy usage data we accurately map what your savings are likely to be on an annual basis. Useful information – get in touch to find out more.
