Thinking about investing in solar panels for your business but are still at the asking lots of questions stage? Then you’re in the right place.
We work with businesses and organisations of all kinds who either are already on or are just at beginning of their pathway to net zero. Switching to solar power can be a significant step towards meeting sustainability targets and the ultimate goal of net zero. This brief guide will help you get started on your switch to solar.
Let’s start with a brief introduction to solar power and why businesses should give it serious consideration:
In simple terms, solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) panels, aka solar panels. Unlike conventional energy generation, solar is a renewable energy source.
Advances in PV technology has resulted in significant improvements in the conversion efficiency of solar panels. Good quality solar panels will typically achieve a conversion efficiency rate of 22%**. Even the grey, British weather doesn’t hinder the performance of modern PVs, which work well in all qualities of daylight.
Module longevity and warranties have also improved, with many manufacturers offering a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year performance guarantee, meaning that your system will provide you with clean, green energy well into the future.
There have also been significant advancements in inverter technology. The inverter converts the DC energy generated by the panels into useful AC energy to be used within your premises. Inverter efficiencies have also improved, along with improved warranties, longevity, and added safety features.
This largely depends on budget and the nature of your business premises: do you have land that you could set aside for solar panels; a car park; or, the obvious choice, the roof of a building? Solar panels are typically mounted in three ways.
To maximise the benefits of your solar PV array, additional technologies can be integrated into the system to ensure that more of the power generated is used within the premises. Solar PV systems can be integrated alongside battery storage to ensure consistent supply of power once the sun goes down. Excess power generated during the day can be stored in batteries for later use. Why not use your solar energy to power electric vehicles and create a really green fleet?

The quality of solar panels can vary considerably, so choose your supplier with care. For example, at Ennovus Solutions, we only select panels from tier 1 manufacturers with SA 8000 certification, net zero targets and clear ESG policies.
Investing in an energy generation system is a big step, but it’s one that will reap long-term rewards. Not just in terms of energy costs but in business reputation, too.
Many suppliers offer funding solutions that will help most businesses to make the leap to solar. Ennovus, for example, offers a choice of four funding arrangements that ensure net benefit from year one:
