With energy prices remaining a top tier concern for the UK’s industrial sector, more businesses are looking at their roof space as a potential gold mine. At Econ Electrical, we are helping companies transition from being energy consumers to energy producers.
As specialist commercial electricians, we’ve seen a massive shift in the ROI for Solar PV. If you have a warehouse, factory, or large office block, here is why you should consider a solar installation this year.
Turning Your Roof into a Revenue Stream
For most electrical contractors in Yorkshire, the conversation around solar used to be about “being green”. Today, it is about the bottom line. Commercial solar installations offer:
- Protection Against Price Volatility: Generate your own power and lock in your energy costs for the next 25 years.
- Significant Tax Incentives: Businesses can often take advantage of capital allowances to offset the cost of the installation against their profits.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Enhance your ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) rating, which is increasingly vital for winning large tenders.
Why the “Yorkshire Sun” is Enough
A common myth we hear is that the North doesn’t get enough sun. In reality, modern Solar PV cells are incredibly efficient in “diffuse light” (cloudy days). With the vast, flat roof spaces found on Yorkshire’s industrial estates, the sheer scale of the installation more than compensates for our British weather.
Integration with Industrial Power
Installing solar on a commercial scale requires more than just a few panels. It requires an expert electrician in Yorkshire who understands 3 phase systems, G99 grid applications, and how to integrate solar with your existing switchgear or battery storage.
