Free Solar Panels For Your Business

We are all becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of solar panels, but not all of us can afford the costs associated with installing them. Free solar panels can offer the solution, providing the benefits of installing solar panels, with none of the cost.

What is free solar?

Free solar schemes are becoming increasingly popular and available. Under a free solar scheme, a company will install a solar panel system on your roof with no charge to you. Rather than buying a solar panel array, many companies will design, install and maintain a solar panel system on your roof for free if your roof meets their criteria.

How can free solar panels benefit my business?

The benefits of free solar panels for homeowners have been in the media recently, however less is known about the benefits that free solar panels can bring to businesses.

With large warehouses, storage and production facilities, companies can incur much higher electricity costs than homeowners. However the potential savings by installing free solar panels can be much greater. Large warehouses mean large roof space which is optimum for solar panels.

Under a free solar scheme you can use all of the electricity which is generated by the panels. This clean, green electricity comes from a renewable source and can reduce your company's carbon emissions and increase your green credentials.

Using the free electricity that the panels produce will lower your energy bills as you will need to buy significantly less from your energy provider. Free solar panels will also protect you against energy price rises. As prices continue to increase, your savings will be greater.

Installing free solar panels will also allow you to meet your carbon emissions targets and reduce your carbon footprint, with no cost at all to your company.

Why would a company run a free solar scheme?

Solar providers can afford to run free solar schemes because they receive money from the Feed-in Tariff to cover their costs. The tariff was introduced in April 2010 to incentivise the uptake of solar technology and help the country to meet its carbon emissions targets. It guarantees payment to solar panel owners for each unit of electricity that their panels produce. Your solar panel provider will own the panels on your roof and will take the tariff payments to cover their installation and maintenance costs.

Who is suitable for free solar schemes?

Most companies will have a roof that could accommodate solar panels and some of these will be eligible for free solar panels. A roof must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible. Qualifying factors will include roof size, direction and area in the country. You should speak to your installer to find out more about their free solar scheme and whether it could apply to you.
