Peterborough businesses are reaping the rewards of switching to solar energy, enjoying both significant cost savings and a positive environmental impact. By transforming rooftops or unused land into solar power hubs, companies can reduce their reliance on traditional electricity by 25% to 35%—a smart move with impressive savings. This shift not only conserves our local environment but also strengthens long-term economic stability. Solar energy is proving to be an affordable and efficient powerhouse for Peterborough’s commercial sector.
Solar energy is driving Peterborough’s economic growth with low, stable energy costs that defy market fluctuations. Unlike conventional sources, solar power stands out for its unbeatable reliability and consistency. By embracing solar, Peterborough businesses can dramatically reduce expenses, outperform traditional grid electricity, and supercharge their financial planning and business strategies.
Peterborough’s investment in solar energy is proving to be a savvy economic choice. While there’s an initial cost for installing solar panels, businesses are already seeing a return on investment within just five years—thanks to the ability to sell excess energy back to the grid. Solar panels are more affordable than many realise, especially when you consider the reliable returns and consistent market. It’s a smart, sustainable move that’s paying off in more ways than one.
Peterborough’s bold commitment to solar energy marks a significant leap towards slashing fossil fuel consumption and embracing a cleaner, greener future. This shift not only champions the local environment but also positions Peterborough as a leader in sustainability. By turning to renewable energy, businesses can dramatically shrink their carbon footprint and leave a lasting positive impact on the planet.

Our tailored solar strategies are designed to meet the unique needs of businesses, agricultural ventures, and corporate properties in Peterborough.
Peterborough businesses considering installing a commercial solar system will find there are three principal financial options available.
Firstly, the Direct Purchase model allows businesses to own the system outright, with the investment gradually recouped through savings on electricity bills and profits from selling excess energy to the grid.
Next, the solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) involves a third party owning and maintaining the system, while your business purchases the produced electricity at a cost approximately 20% lower than usual market rates.
Lastly, Asset Finance provides a way to fund the purchase through loans against the solar panels, with repayment periods typically ranging from 5 to 10 years. This financing option can ease the burden on cash flow, as the savings from energy costs contribute to repaying the loan.
Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity. When the sun shines onto the PV cells, it dislodges electrons, generating a flow of direct current (DC) electricity. This current flows into an inverter converting it into alternating current (AC) which is useable by homes and businesses.
The entire process takes about 40-52 weeks. It begins with a preliminary proposal to ensure the PV system aligns with business goals. Next, an application is submitted to the grid for connection approval. Several surveys assess the suitability of the solar array for the proposed roof or ground. After analysis, a formal proposal with final costs is provided to the client. Once agreed upon, planning permissions are submitted. Finally, after these permissions are granted, the project delivery occurs.
Benefits include reducing electricity bills, reducing carbon emissions and footprint, achieving net zero goals and increasing property values.
Before any solar PV system is installed, a full site and technical survey will be carried out whereby a third party structural survey will assess the structural integrity of the building. The outcome of the surveyors findings will dictate whether or not the building is suitable for solar PV.
There are several factors that need to be considered:
Energy usage: If your energy consumption is high, solar panels can offset or cover a portion of these electricity bills.
Roof/ground condition and location: to maximise the efficiency, it is important to have an area with minimal shading and a south or east-west roof for the panels. It is important that the roof is also in good condition or remedial works will need to be carried out beforehand.
Fun fact, if your roof is a low pitch, some North facing roofs may even be suitable for solar, particularly on sites that have large energy demands.
Yes definitely. If you are looking at expanding your solar array, please get in touch with a member of the BeBa team who will assist in working out whether or not you would benefit from an additional solar PV system.
Yes, there are various national and regional grants available for solar. Please check with your local authority or on the government website to identify whether you could be eligible.
