When it comes to commercial PV systems, there are many advantages for businesses worthy of consideration. In addition to the potential for massive savings on energy expenditures, a commercial PV system can also benefit the environment and subsequently work hand in hand with the goals and vision of your CSR policy. 

With the cost of fuel and electricity constantly rising and with businesses increasingly seeking cost-effective solutions in terms of energy consumption, solar PV systems are understandably becoming the ideal solution for many business owners in Ireland. 

According to Bord Gáis, Ireland is an ideal location for commercial PV systems since cloudy weather and overcast days are not a problem for energy generation, and our cooler climate may actually be more productive than dry, hot climates for solar energy production. 

The installation of a high-quality commercial PV system is an excellent investment that pays off in the long term. Depending on the size and configuration of your solar PV system, you could see a complete return on investment anywhere from around 10-15 years, all while generating free energy from the power of the sun. 

There has never been a more attractive time than now to consider retrofitting your business with a commercial PV system and to start generating free, abundant solar energy for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial photovoltaic (PV) systems work by converting natural sunlight into electrical current for your business. Specifically, photovoltaic cells are arranged into panels, and panels are arranged into rooftop systems that absorb sunlight. When light hits the cell, it generates a direct (DC) electrical current. This current is then channeled into a solar inverter, which converts the DC into alternating current (AC), which is compatible with your phone, kettle, television set, and so on.  

The cost of a commercial PV installation can vary significantly based on factors such as the size of the system, quality of panel and inverter products, and more. Generally, it’s best to think of the cost in terms of kWp. Business owners can expect to pay around €850 up to around €2,000 per kWp, plus 13.5% VAT. 

Commercial PV systems can benefit businesses in many ways, for example: greatly reducing energy expenses, generating a greener, more sustainable image by benefiting the environment, excellent investment potential, and the ability to receive funding via SEAI grants, to name a few. Contact Wizer Energy to learn more about the potential benefits for your business. 

Yes. Business owners in Ireland may be eligible for significant funding from various SEAI grants. Quite often, the eligibility criteria for these schemes may be selective, so it is a good idea to learn more about each scheme before applying. Consult us here at Wizer Energy and we can assist you with SEAI funding schemes. 

In Ireland, commercial solar PV systems are definitely ideal for businesses. Provided that your business has appropriate roof space at a good pitch to receive, preferably, sunlight predominantly via a south-facing or east-west facing configuration, solar PV systems are an excellent choice for business owners in Ireland. 

Only one commercial PV system is needed to power a building, but the real question is more about the system’s kWp capacity and energy consumption. A small shop, for example, may get by with a simple 3.3 kW system (about 10 panels). A light manufacturing shop or medium-sized business may need a 30 kW system (about 110 panels). Large operations such as 100 kW systems and solar farms require vast amounts of space. Contact Wizer to get a more accurate quote. 

The amount of power generated by a commercial PV system depends mostly on the system’s kWp and, of course, the amount of natural sunlight absorbed by the panels. To give an example, a small business system of 3 kW will likely generate around 3,000 kWh per year. A medium-sized 30 kW system will yield around 29,000 kWh per year. 

In Ireland, the cost of installing a commercial PV system ranges from around €850 up to around €2,000 per kWp, depending on the choice of installer, product quality, and labour required. Thus, a complete 10 kW system for a retail shop could cost around €10,000 before VAT and SEAI grants are applied. 

The size of each individual commercial PV panel is slightly larger than panels used in domestic PV systems. Given that the size of commercial PV systems varies quite a bit, the roof space needed also varies. For example, a large 100 kW system requires about 650 square metres of roof space.
