Solar panels for retail and leisure businesses
Boost your sustainable appeal and cut your electricity costs with business solar panels.
Make your business greener – and bills smaller
Energy costs are a consistent challenge for businesses of all sizes. So it’s no surprise that 56% of businesses in the UK plan to generate more of their own power onsite.
With installation costs having dropped substantially over the past decade, solar power is one of the most cost-effective routes to greater energy independence.

Three reasons to install solar panels
Appeal to environmentally conscious customers and supply chain partners
A 2024 survey of consumer attitudes found that sustainability is a “top three purchase consideration for 64 percent of consumers”. Solar panels are a visible example that your business is taking direct responsibility for its environmental impact.
Reduce your exposure to changing energy prices
Over a third of UK businesses report that unpredictable energy costs hindered growth over the past two years. Installing solar panels creates a buffer against changing prices.
