Solar Select Share the Benefits of Solar Energy for Powering Businesses

As the cost of energy continues to rise, a healthy environment is a growing concern for investors, stakeholders and occupants looking to invest in or work with a business. Installing a solar system is a cost-effective, energy-efficient and sustainable way to reduce a business’s environmental impact and energy budget.

This is what Solar Select specialise in. A small family business with a big impact, Solar Select have over 30 years’ experience in the electrical industry and diversified into solar energy a decade ago, keeping up with the latest technology and sustainable energy expertise to offer customers the very best solutions. The Worcestershire-based company specialises in solar PV, battery storage and charging, and residential and commercial solar installations.

Solar Select work with brands to improve the profitability and green credentials of businesses while reducing their carbon footprint. As each project is unique, Solar Select create custom solar energy and battery solutions that fit the specific requirements of your home, office or commercial building, with a system that is bespoke and tailored to you.

Unlike many residential properties, commercial and agricultural premises usually have an abundance of roof space that can be used to generate free electricity. Installing solar PV on commercial roofs reduces the need to buy electricity from the grid during daylight hours and can save businesses thousands of pounds a year.

The benefits for businesses include savings on energy costs, reduced carbon emissions and improved green credentials. Solar energy is a renewable source, meaning it is practically inexhaustible. It reduces reliance on finite fossil fuels, helping to mitigate climate change and environmental degradation.

When you turn to solar you gain energy independence. Once installed, solar solutions deliver significant savings over the system’s lifespan.

Research shows that “Solar PV can reduce electric bills by up to an incredible 50%, and business owners can utilise between 80 to 100% of the free electricity generated.” This matters as energy costs continue to rise and are a significant overhead for businesses. Investing in solar panels allows businesses to take control of their own long-term costs.

Although installing solar panels can be a large upfront investment, many regions offer incentives, making the initial investment more affordable and accelerating the payback period. Solar energy can power lighting and hot water, so businesses can use less gas as well as electricity, saving on energy costs overall.

Solar Select can also retrofit battery storage systems, allowing businesses to save even more on their energy bills and become up to 90% energy independent. The majority of solar PV system owners use an average of 25 to 35% of the electricity they generate, with the remainder exported to the grid. When panel output exceeds demand, the surplus can charge batteries, which then provide power when demand is higher, during the day or at night.

The battery stores this electricity, preventing it from being exported to the grid, and discharges it when the local load exceeds production, reducing your electricity bill. Adding battery storage diversifies your energy sources, reducing vulnerability to external price fluctuations and supply disruptions of conventional fuels.

Using clean, renewable energy such as solar power lowers a business’s carbon footprint, improves its green credentials and helps meet sustainability goals. Solar panels can help businesses comply with environmental regulations and demonstrate their commitment to net zero targets as the UK aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Solar can also earn a business a positive reputation as a brand with environmental values, attracting customers, investors and stakeholders who are environmentally conscious and looking for businesses with an eco-friendly ethos.
