How much do commercial solar panels cost in the UK?

  • How much do commercial solar panels cost businesses?
  • What are the installation costs?
  • What are the maintenance costs with commercial solar panels?

It’s very hard to put an exact figure on this, because the answer depends on a wide variety of factors that can vary significantly from business to business.

The precise cost of your own commercial solar panels project will depend on a number of different variables, such as your roof structure and the amount of space you have available, the brand of your panels and how many you’ll need, and how much energy you use. (If you need a bit more information, don’t hesitate to check out our blog post on what affects the cost of commercial solar!)

Here at Low Carbon Energy, we specialise in large-scale solar PV installations, and we provide a full turnkey solution, encompassing everything from the initial survey and system design, all the way up to final installation.

This also covers:

  • The specification and supply of your solar panels
  • Inverter and isolators
  • Cabling
  • Testing and certification
  • Administration costs, including registration with regulators and your supplier

If you need some help with the upfront costs though, don’t worry – we offer finance options for our commercial solar panels.

Just as with overall costs of a solar PV system, it’s hard to put a precise figure on how much the installation itself will cost. It’s heavily dependent on a number of different variables, including the size of the installation, the number of panels it requires (and what brand they are), the choice of inverters, and the amount of labour involved.

However, once the initial installation costs are covered, there are very few additional ones to worry about, as solar panels are very low maintenance by nature.

If you need a more precise answer on roughly how much your solar PV installations would cost don’t hesitate to get in touch with one of our team here at Low Carbon Energy, and we’ll be happy to talk about the requirements of your project in more detail.

As ever, the exact cost is dependent on the size of your installation.

Mostly, solar panels just require a light cleaning to remove dust and debris, ensuring that they continue operating at peak efficiency. With larger commercial solar PV installations, this is not a DIY job, as it can be easy for someone inexperienced to accidentally damage one of the panels, especially if they don’t have the right knowledge or tools.

Regular maintenance by a professional can prevent the need for expensive reactive callouts for repairs to your solar PV systems, and it’s something we always recommend.
