Cutting costs: the energy potential of UK commercial rooftops
January 7, 2015
The case for commercial rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) has so far rested primarily on the green credentials of the technology. The lack of a definitive case for short-term return on investment on the capital costs of installing rooftop PV has been a barrier to widespread uptake.
This report argues that there is now a clear and compelling economic case for its adoption – the cost of solar panels has plummeted so that the potential savings versus rising grid-based electricity bills have increased.
This study uncovers that “British businesses could save over £5bn per year in electricity bills, at current price and consumption levels, by installing fully-funded rooftop solar PV systems on south-facing commercial roofs.”
With this in mind, read this study on the potential cost savings commercial rooftop solar PV offers.
