How Much do Commercial Solar Panels Cost?

Smartly Energy can sort solar panels for commercial business and industrial properties of all shapes and sizes. The right commercial solar panel set up for you will depend on a number of things; how much roof space you’ve got to work with, how much energy you need, and what kind of property you’re running. In some cases, if we need to turn to solar farms to generate the energy that your business needs.

Our most common solar energy solution for businesses is the traditional solar panel that is fitted on top of your existing roof. These panels generate around 220Wp/m2.

Since every business has different energy demands and roof space to work with, the total cost will always vary. That’s why it’s worth getting a Smartly Energy expert to assess your site and tailor a solution that fits both your needs and your budget.
