Free Solar Panels For Businesses

If your business spends thousands on electricity each year, you're probably paying far more than you need to. At HV Electrical Services, we help UK businesses cut their energy bills in half with no capital investment, no maintenance costs, and no hassle through fully funded commercial solar power purchase agreements.

With rising energy prices and tightening sustainability goals, now is the time to switch. We handle every step of the process.

Our Power Purchase Agreement model allows you to access commercial solar panel installation without paying anything upfront. Instead of buying all your electricity from the grid at 28p per kWh, you generate clean power on-site and pay just 14p per kWh. That rate stays fixed for up to 25 years.

This means guaranteed savings from day one, without owning or maintaining the equipment. Many UK businesses can access fully funded solar panel installations through PPAs, meaning no upfront costs and instant savings.

Commercial solar PPAs typically run for 10 to 25 years, with businesses saving an average of 30% to 50% on their daytime electricity costs. The PPA provider owns and maintains the system, removing all technical and financial risk from your business.

We design, fund, install, operate and maintain the system. You only pay for the electricity it produces.

A fully funded solar installation often includes maintenance, monitoring, and insurance, removing ongoing responsibility and cost for the business. Solar power is one of the most predictable energy sources, businesses can fix electricity costs for decades, avoiding market volatility.

A commercial solar PPA works differently from purchasing panels outright. The solar company installs and owns the system on your property. You agree to buy the electricity it generates at a fixed, discounted rate. This model has become increasingly popular, with over 60% of UK commercial solar installations now financed through PPAs or similar arrangements.

The average commercial solar PPA in the UK offers electricity at 40% to 50% below standard commercial rates. For a business using 300,000 kWh annually, this can mean £35,000 to £40,000 in savings each year.

PPAs typically include performance guarantees. If the system underperforms, the provider compensates you. This protects your savings and ensures the system delivers as promised.

Many of our clients weren't searching for "commercial solar PPA UK" when they found us. They were looking for ways to cut overheads, reduce reliance on the national grid, find alternatives to rising energy prices, improve building efficiency without capital investment, or hit environmental targets and improve ESG reporting.

If your business meets these criteria, you're likely eligible:

A commercial site with 400 m² or more of roof or open land A long-term lease or property ownership Consistently high daytime electricity usage A stable business with reasonable credit history

Businesses with large roof space, such as warehouses, farms, or factories, are particularly well-placed to benefit. A typical 100 kW commercial system requires around 600 m² of roof space and can generate 85,000 to 100,000 kWh annually. Even smaller businesses can adopt renewable energy through these schemes, not just large corporations.

Most commercial PPAs require a minimum annual electricity usage of 50,000 kWh, though this varies by provider. Businesses that operate primarily during daylight hours see the best returns, as they consume power when generation is highest.

You don't need to be an energy expert to know solar can save money. Companies can save up to 50% on electricity bills by using solar power generated on-site instead of buying from the grid.

Industrial Warehouse (450,000 kWh/year) Current supplier rate: 28p/kWh PPA rate: 14p/kWh Current annual bill: £126,000 New bill with solar: £63,000 Annual saving: £63,000

Food Production Facility (300,000 kWh/year) Current supplier rate: 26p/kWh PPA rate: 13.5p/kWh Current annual bill: £78,000 New bill with solar: £40,500 Annual saving: £37,500

Multi-Tenant Office Block (150,000 kWh/year) Current supplier rate: 30p/kWh PPA rate: 15p/kWh Current annual bill: £45,000 New bill with solar: £22,500 Annual saving: £22,500

These figures represent just electricity savings. Over a 20-year PPA term, a business using 300,000 kWh annually could save over £700,000 in total electricity costs. You also gain reputational and ESG benefits from switching to clean heat grant schemes and green energy.

Installing solar can reduce a company's carbon footprint by dozens of tonnes per year, which helps with ESG reporting and winning new contracts. A typical 100 kW commercial system offsets approximately 40 to 50 tonnes of CO2 annually. Even if the panels are provider-owned, businesses still enjoy lower rates per kWh compared to standard commercial tariffs.

With HV Electrical Services, a trusted electrical services company, you get a complete solution, custom-built for your business and delivered with no disruption.

You receive a free survey, feasibility study and solar design. We provide full system funding including equipment and labour. Expert installation with zero operational downtime. Long-term maintenance and performance monitoring. Guaranteed discounted energy rates locked in from day one.

You don't pay for installation, equipment, maintenance, upgrades or monitoring.

A typical commercial solar system can generate electricity for 25 to 30 years, while the finance or PPA term is usually only 10 to 25 years, meaning long-term benefits extend well beyond the agreement period.

In most commercial PPAs, performance monitoring is included as standard. We track generation in real time and identify any issues before they affect your savings. System availability typically exceeds 98% with professional maintenance included.

At the end of a PPA or lease, businesses may have the option to buy the system at a fraction of its original cost, keeping the benefits long term. Some agreements allow system purchase after year 5, with prices typically ranging from 10% to 30% of the original installation value.

Whether you're looking for solar panels for large commercial roofs, ways to reduce business electricity costs, renewable energy for commercial property, support through business grants, or solar for industrial sites, you've found the most cost-effective and risk-free way forward.

Commercial solar PPAs remove the main barriers that previously prevented businesses from adopting solar: high upfront costs, technical complexity, and ongoing maintenance requirements. The average commercial solar installation costs £60,000 to £150,000 when purchased outright, but costs nothing upfront with a PPA.

Our customers include manufacturers, production plants and cold storage units. Logistics hubs, warehouses and fulfilment centres. Supermarkets, retail parks and hotel groups. Farms, equestrian centres and food producers. Schools, academies and educational trusts. Start ups and medium sized enterprises benefit from available grants and find funding options that help them start saving.

Installing solar panels on your property helps many businesses reduce installation costs through various schemes. The Green Gas Support Scheme and other funding options help eligible costs get covered, allowing UK businesses to reach net zero sustainability goals.
