Maximise your business’s energy performance
Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy we have. Commercial solar panels from S.P.P UK will help run your business during daylight hours. The energy can also be stored for use in hours of darkness, by partnering it with an energy storage system. Whatever your requirements, our team will help you maximise your energy performance. S.P.P UK’s experienced team of designers and installers will ensure your project runs as efficiently as possible.
Your solar PV array will be tailor designed to suit your energy requirements and get the most from your available space
Our design teams use only the best materials available, giving you peace of mind whilst ensuring you get the best possible reward on your investment.
An S.P.P UK commercial system can be either roof or ground mounted.
Solar panels make your business more eco responsible
With the government setting a 40GW target for solar PV production by 2030 to help combat climate change, installing a commercial solar PV array should be high on every business’s agenda. Calls to action have been out on businesses to take a stand and increase their responsibility towards their energy future. Installing low carbon electricity production technologies for your business will reduce your C02 emissions and minimise your environmental footprint.
How does it work?
Solar PV panels are made up of wafers of silicon trapped between layers of glass, which is then coated in an anti-glare film. Sunlight hits the panels and starts a reaction by energising the electrons within the silicon solar cells. As they move and bump into one another they create a direct current (DC) of electricity. This power then passes through a solar inverter, transforming it to alternating current (AC). The AC solar power is then used instantaneously by your business. Any excess solar electricity is then exported back to the grid, alternatively any excess energy can be stored in a battery, which can then be used beyond daylight hours.
Do I need planning permission?
This is dependant upon the type of system you would like. All ground-mounted solar systems will need full planning permission. If you opt for a roof mounted array, most planning authorities class this as permitted development (so you don’t need planning permission). However, it is always best to check with your local planning department before hand. Our in house team of designers will clarify this on your behalf.
Do I need Three phase electricity?
In general, installations over 10kW will require a three-phase incoming supply from the grid. Please contact a member of our technical team for help and advice.
How long will the installation take?
The duration of every installation will be different from the last, largely due to the fact that all of our installations are bespoke. Different factors have to be taken into consideration, such as size of the system, your business energy requirements, G99 application and testing, and potentially the requirement for planning. In general, from start to finish your solar PV system could take anywhere between one and four months. However, once all of the paperwork has been checked off, and the install begins our qualified installation team can roughly install a 50kWp array in just four days.
