If you’re looking to lower your business’s environmental impact and cut energy expenses, solar panels can help. We deliver industrial, commercial, and agricultural solutions throughout Cumbria.
Solar panels, also known as Solar Photovoltaics (PV) or solar PV systems, are devices used to generate sustainable energy that can be used in your home or business. Solar panels are made using a semiconductor material, like silicon, to absorb energy from the sun and convert it into electricity.
Solar panels are a sustainable, cost-saving, and eco-friendly way to power your home or business. Here are some key reasons why you should consider installing one:
Whether you install solar panels at home or work, you can save significantly on energy bills. Instead of buying energy from a provider, you generate your own and can even sell excess energy back to the grid.
Gain greater control over your energy. Solar PV systems reduce your dependence on the grid and insulate you from price fluctuations, giving your home or business genuine energy independence. This helps protect you against unpredictable changes in energy prices that we’ve seen recently.
Solar panels generate renewable electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, immediately shrinking your carbon footprint. As technology advances and more recycled materials are utilised, their impact on the environment is only improving.

You may wonder about the effectiveness of solar panels in the cloudy Cumbrian weather. The good news is that solar panels still work perfectly well in wet and cloudy weather.
However, they can be less efficient than when the skies are clear. The efficiency of solar panels can be reduced by 10-25% during light cloud cover, according to the energy insights platform, Montel. However, even with this reduction, they remain highly effective for homes and businesses of every size.
Solar panels also become more efficient when used in conjunction with batteries, allowing you to store excess energy for use during cloudy periods. While you may not produce as much energy as your neighbour in sunnier climes, you become more energy independent and start saving on bills immediately after installation. In the long term, you will typically have paid off your initial investment within 5 to 10 years.
The average cost of a Solar panel installation varies greatly depending on the size of your business site or home.
