What are solar panels?
Solar panels are used to convert sunlight into energy using photovoltaic panels which converts solar rays into energy in the form of electricity. This energy can then be used in your business, sold back to the grid or stored in a battery, to be used at times of higher demand or when there is less sunlight.
About our solar power service
At Flame Energy, we’ll work with approved suppliers to offer solar panels for business sites of 50 kWh and above, making it perfect for roof tops of commercial buildings or ground mounted solar PV.
Furthermore, it’s important for us to make sure that they are disposed of in an appropriate way, with the best possible end-of-life route. For this, we assist in the removal of old solar panels, if required, ensuring that they are sent to an accredited company, diverting them from landfill.
Why choose our business solar panels?
Solar panels are not just a way to reduce your carbon footprint, they are a cost-effective alternative too. With the current prices of electricity, it could be more cost effective for you to have a battery and store the electricity they generate.
By doing this, you can minimise the currently increasing prices as much as possible by storing excess electricity generated. By decreasing your reliance on the grid, you will be less affected by large price fluctuations and stabilise your electricity bills. Indeed, return on investment is a lot quicker given current market conditions.
Our team of experts can also help you set up export meters. This will help you sell the excess electricity you generate to the grid if you do not have battery storage.
