Rooftop Solar

Rooftop Solar for Commercial & Industrial Businesses

What can rooftop solar do for your business?

Ingenstat specialises in transforming commercial rooftops into efficient solar producers, with designs to maximise energy production while seamlessly integrating with the existing architecture. 

We offer customised solutions that cater to businesses of all sizes including offices, factories, warehouses and agriculture. By ensuring a significant reduction in energy costs and carbon footprint, with Ingenstat, your commercial property not only becomes self-sufficient but also contributes to a greener future.

Energy Savings

Energy costs are estimated to increase by 20-30% by 2030. Utilising the dead space on your businesses' roof allows for generation of an ongoing supply of free electricity on site. This supply can be used to directly offset the quantity of energy purchased from you supplier. The more energy supplied by the solar system the less you need to purchase, and excess energy generated can even be sold back to the grid for additional profit. 

Resilience & Security

Global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war have demonstrated how vulnerable the energy markets in the UK are to a variety of geopolitical events. Installation of a solar system creates an ongoing supply of free electricity that is generated on your site. This reduces your dependency on energy suppliers and their varying costs for power, providing protection and resilience to future inflation of energy price in the markets. 

Carbon Footprint

Energy produced by solar is completely carbon free! Even small sized solar systems can reduce your carbon footprint by 1,000s of kgs every year. Reducing your carbon footprint helps slow climate change, protecting our planet’s precious ecosystems, improving air quality, conserving natural resources and supporting biodiversity. This ensures a healthier, more resilient world for future generations. Incorporating a solar system into your business is a huge step towards your sustainability targets.

Property Value

The installation of a solar PV system can add significant value to the respective property. Not only does the solar provide long term financial and sustainability benefits to you, but in the event that you move properties and sell, the solar system can represent an extremely attractive addition to the building for potential future buyers. 

How Much Can You Save With Solar?

Payback Period

The average solar system will pay itself off in just:

4.4 Years

Energy Savings

The average solar system can reduce energy costs by between:

45-65%

Lifetime Savings

Over a system's minimum operational 25 year life-cycle the average Return on Investment is:

450 - 600%

What Businesses can Benefit from Solar?

Any business that requires electricity to function can benefit from a solar system. Small offices with servers and appliances running all day may only require a small system to see a significant reduction on their energy bills. Energy intensive industries such as manufacturing or food storage may require much larger specialised systems to meet their energy needs. 

If you aren't sure if your business can benefit from solar, contact us and we will organise a consultation meeting to assess the optimal renewable energy system for you. 

Manufacturing: Factories with large rooftops can use solar panels to offset high energy demands, reducing operational costs and improving sustainability.

Agriculture: Solar power can help farmers reduce energy costs for irrigation, greenhouses, and processing facilities. Solar panels can be installed on cowsheds and farmhouses to reduce consumption and save costs. 

Retail: Large retail stores can install solar panels on their rooftops and parking structures to lower electricity costs, improve brand reputation, and attract eco-conscious consumers.

Real Estate: Developers can add value to commercial and residential properties by installing solar panels, which appeal to tenants and buyers interested in energy savings and sustainable living.

Technology and Data Centers: Solar power can help energy-intensive data centers lower operating costs, meet renewable energy goals, and ensure reliability of supply when combining solar with battery storage.

Hospitality: Hotels and resorts can reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs by using solar power, appealing to environmentally conscious travelers while controlling overhead costs.

Car Parks: With the switch to online shopping, many multi-story car parks are no longer at full capacity. Solar can be installed on the top floor to offset any of the car park's consumption and provide an additional revenue stream by exporting energy. 

Distribution and Transport: Distribution centers and transport hubs often have large rooftop areas perfect for the installation of solar to offset electricity consumption and power green transport vehicles such as EVs or buses. 

Launderettes: Commercial launderettes often have large roof spaces available for the installation of rooftop solar. With hospitality at its busiest in summer, peak solar generation aligns perfectly with the higher energy demands of a launderette, providing significant savings throughout the year.
