Are You Losing Money by Not Installing Solar Panels on Your Commercial Roof?
Energy prices in the UK are at record highs, and businesses are feeling the pinch. Many companies are overpaying for electricity, often without realising that their rooftop could be generating its own power — and significant savings.
At SMART CTRL Ltd, we help commercial businesses unlock the financial and environmental benefits of solar and battery solutions, turning their roofs into profit-generating assets.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Commercial buildings spend thousands — sometimes millions — every year on electricity. By not installing solar panels, businesses are effectively leaving money on the table.
For example:
A 100 kW solar system can generate around 90,000 kWh/year in the UK.
At a commercial electricity rate of 24 p/kWh, that’s £21,600 in potential annual savings.
Over 10 years, ignoring solar could cost a business over £200,000 in lost savings, not including rising energy prices.
And that’s just for a medium-sized system — larger rooftops could see savings in the hundreds of thousands per year.
How Solar Can Protect Your Business
Installing solar panels doesn’t just cut costs — it also:
Reduces reliance on the grid and shields your business from volatile electricity prices.
Improves your sustainability credentials, helping attract customers, investors, and partners.
Provides predictable energy costs, enabling better budgeting.
Adding battery storage can increase these savings even further by storing excess energy for use during peak hours or overnight, maximizing self-consumption.
Why Companies Hesitate
Many commercial leaders hesitate because they:
Think the upfront costs are too high.
Assume solar doesn’t generate enough in winter.
Worry about maintenance and disruption.
The truth: with a Solar PPA or financed installation, your business can install panels with little or no upfront cost, enjoy immediate savings, and rely on the installer for ongoing maintenance.
Case in Point: Businesses Are Missing Out
Consider a typical medium-sized UK business:
Electricity spend: £100,000/year
Solar generation potential: 50–70% of annual usage
Annual savings if installed: £30,000–£50,000
By not installing panels, that business is effectively paying more than necessary year after year.
