Solar PV Installations for Photovoltaic Panels (Solar PV Panels)
Solar PV panels are regarded as the cheapest form of electricity generation and is a proven technology that can benefit any business or homeowner.
Return on investment
As electricity demand and costs increase, Solar can provide stability by controlling and providing protection from increasing electricity costs whilst also enabling your business to benefit by using Zero Carbon electricity.
Solar PV panel Installations enable your business or home to produce electricity, bypassing costs associated with the transport, distribution and use of system, as well as government levies. These costs can be seen on your electricity bill and can mean that up to 58% of your electricity bill isn’t actually paying for electricity. Producing solar electricity onsite can eliminate all or some of these costs.

What is Solar PV?
Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is the generation of electricity using the sun’s light. With it operating on daylight, you are guaranteed energy generation everyday.
The higher the light intensity and the longer daylight hours, the more electricity the solar system will produce. With no moving parts, solar PV requires minimal Operations and Maintenance costs.
The installation costs since 2010 have dramatically reduced year on year. Today we are finding these costs have begun to stabilise, however the increasing cost of electricity is further promoting Solar to be a real carbon saving investment opportunity.
EnergyForce are experts in the installation of Solar PV systems and provide expert advice throughout the process of identifying, assessing, delivering and maintaining a solar PV system at your business.
There are considerations to be taken, such as your current grid connection, installation type and consents required; however EnergyForce makes this a simple process.
Solar can still provide you upto 50% saving
By generating electricity from Solar PV panels (photovoltaic panels) it is much cheaper than buying it from the grid. If we split your current electricity costs into two sections: non-electricity costs (which we have mentioned above) and the actual wholesale electricity cost. Over the term of an installation, and disregarding the non-electricity costs, solar can still provide you up to 50% saving from current wholesale electricity costs.
Although short-term energy prices do fluctuate, long-term energy forecasts predict an annual rise of 6%. Whilst shopping around can reduce costs, switching to self-generation by installing a Solar PV panel system will achieve far greater savings and provide protection from annual electricity price rises.
Solar PV installations can:
Reduce your business' Carbon Footprint and help contribute towards Net Zero.
Help avoid the non-electricity of up to 58% costs found on your electricity bills.
Provide up to 50% savings against current wholesale electricity costs.
Provide protection against increases in electricity costs.
Provide paybacks from as little as 4 years.

Types of Solar PV Panel Installations
Roof Solar PV Panels
Roof solar panels (photovoltaic panels) can be installed to your unused roof space, creating a valuable energy-generating asset that will lower your business electricity costs and provide long-term energy security, predictability, and carbon reduction.
Installing solar pv panels to your rooftop can be the most cost-effective solution and whilst south-facing roofs will provide the highest generation, it can still be viable to install on East and West elevations. An EnergyForce site audit can provide the viability of a roof installation before committing to the project.
EnergyForce has commercial solar solutions to cater for all roof types, utilising industry-leading products and highly experienced installation teams.
Solar PV Panel Flat Roof installations are becoming very popular with commercial clients and with the option of ballasted fixing methods, this avoids invasive roof penetrations whilst enabling businesses to maximise their solar potential by using these vast spaces.
Our Solar Rooftop solutions have extended warranties as well as adhering to installation and fixing methods, to avoid any conflicts with existing roof warranties.
As with all our solutions, operations and maintenance requirements are no afterthought and as such O&M requirements are integrated at the start. Man safe and roof access systems should always be a consideration and can be installed by EnergyForce.
Ground Mounted Solar Panel Installations
With ground-mounted solar pv panel installation (photovoltaic panels), you attain the maximum yield possible for the location achieving the perfect orientation and optimum angle.
If you have approximately half an acre or more of ground area available, a solar ground mount installation could be highly beneficial to your business. This creates an electricity-generating asset that will lower your business’ electricity costs and provide longer-term energy security, predictability, and carbon reduction.
EnergyForce has a variety of solar park installation methods that are each selected depending upon the site requirements and ground conditions. Using only bankable products with industry-leading warranties, we can provide peace of mind on the durability and quality of our ground-mount installations.
