FAQs

Dorset FAQs

What is commercial solar energy?

Commercial solar energy refers to the use of solar power systems in commercial and industrial settings to generate electricity for business operations. This involves the installation of solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, on commercial buildings, warehouses, factories, and other large facilities. The generated solar energy can be used to power various electrical loads within the business, reducing reliance on traditional grid electricity and lowering overall energy costs.

Can I add battery storage to my solar panels?

Yes. Battery storage can be added at the start or installed later, depending on system design. A battery can help you use more of your solar electricity by storing surplus for later use.

What return can I get from my solar panels?

The return on investment for solar will have many variables including size of system, battery storage, your electricity cost and usage. With that in mind domestic systems can be anywhere between 9-20% ROI as an average but some may even surpass this. Commercial installation with high energy spends can produce incredible returns on investment with paybacks within 2 years!

What is Solar Battery Charge and Discharge power?

Most Solar Battery Systems only deliver 800w of power which is no good if you want a cup of tea (your kettle needs 2000 watts) or use your electric shower (your shower will need over 8000 watts).  Also, if you’re generating 7kW but the battery can only take on 4kW then 3kW will be heading off to the grid in turn wasting the free energy your Solar PV System has generated. So, in summary it is paramount that the power output is checked before you buy any Solar Storage System, otherwise, you will find yourself still drawing a lot of energy from the grid even though you still have energy in your battery.
