A great number of commercial organizations are turning to commercial Solar panels to meet their enormous energy needs. Commercial Solar panels can not only provide the company with cost effective and environmentally friendly energy but also help them to earn a substantial amount of cash from government pay back schemes which are in place in many areas across the country.

Many commercial organisations like farms, car parks and factories are large enough to accommodate large commercial Solar panel systems thanks to their extensive size. Many manufacturing businesses are in operation 24 hours a day and the electricity costs eat up a huge chunk of their operating budget – switching to commercial Solar energy can help to save a large amount of cash for many operations.

Have you considered Solar panels but thought to yourself “how can they work here? We’ve got a flat roof they won’t catch any sun”.Well did you know that a flat roof can be one of the most efficient roofs for the installation of Solar PV? Because there is no sloping angle or dominant direction the roof faces in the panels can be mounted at the correct orientation to face the sun the most and the angle can be adjusted in design to maximize Solar ray capture throughout the day. Unlike with a pitched roof system a flat roof installation can be conducted in a non penetrative way meaning, it will not require fixing to the roof through bolts etc.

A flat roof mount system is constructed of a rail grid on which a mounting system is fixed; the panels are then mounted via this system. To prevent movement via wind the system is then weighed down using a ballast system. Read the rest of this entry »

The answer to this one is pretty easy – just about all types of business can benefit from utilizing commercial Solar energy and the fitting of Solar panels.

A few more specific examples include data storage facilities which need to have a substantial, constant supply of electrical power guaranteed. One glitch in the energy supply can cause all sorts of problems which can take many hours, days, weeks or even months to sort out. Potentially lost data is a huge headache for data storage facilities.  Many of these data storage facilities use up a tremendous amount of electrical power and can be furnishing thousands of different computers at any one given time.

Another type of business which can really benefit from commercial Solar energy power is the restaurant business. Restaurants do use up a surprising amount of electrical power – lighting, refrigeration, cooking stations, air Read the rest of this entry »

Commercial Solar energy has many benefits for many types of business premises like commercial buildings, factories and farms. Not only will the installation of commercial Solar panels help to reduce the substantial utility bills but they can also help to increase the commercial value of the property. Having your own, self sufficient energy supply really does make good economic sense for many types of business.

At Carmichael Browns we have been helping companies make the most of the opportunities that Commercial Solar Installations can bring and have worked with everything from office buildings to factories to large warehouse and farm buildings alike.

Not all of the benefits of Solar energy are widely understood and by installing Solar panels on commercial buildings and factories you will receive more than just peace of mind that you are doing something to help the environment.

Because you will be creating your own energy you can negate any increases in energy costs and save money on your current utility bills. You are also adding value to that property, so that when it comes to selling the building the value of that property is likely to have increased.

Many commercial buildings use an enormous amount of energy, particularly in factories where you are Read the rest of this entry »

High tech manufacturers in the Commercial Sector in the UK are considering investing in their own renewable power supplies, particularly solar, to shield themselves from future energy price increases.

A survey of over 400 senior executives in the UK high tech manufacturing sector by multinational GE revealed “high levels of concern” over future UK energy supply, with two thirds of respondents reporting “detrimental” effects on their business from a lack of clarity on energy policy.

The vast majority of survey respondents – 84%  said they were concerned over the future affordability of energy in the UK with the ongoing rising prices that seem to happen yearly.  Some three in five – 61%  expressed concern over the future security of energy supply in the UK.
