Across the UK industrial buildings, from logistics centres and warehouses to manufacturing hubs, are discovering the greatest untapped asset is wasted space right above their heads. The expansive roof space that once simply protected operations from the elements can now become a powerhouse of renewable energy generation through solar PV systems.
At SolarTherm UK, we specialise in transforming large roof buildings into energy efficient, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) boosting assets that reduce operational costs and carbon emissions.
Turning Roofs into Renewable Assets
Industrial sites typically have vast, flat and unobstructed roof areas going to waste, the ideal conditions for a large scale solar installation. With modern solar panel efficiency at an all time high, businesses can generate a substantial portion of their electricity needs directly on site. This shift offers a dual advantage:
- Immediate energy cost reduction, helping your business insulate itself from volatile electricity prices.
- Long term sustainability gains, aligning with corporate Net Zero targets and ESG goals.
Boosting ESG Ratings and Corporate Responsibility
Investors, clients and regulators are increasingly prioritising businesses with strong ESG performance. Installing solar panels is one of the most visible and measurable ways to demonstrate environmental commitment.
By reducing dependency on fossil fuels and cutting Scope 2 (indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchasing electricity outside the company’s control) emissions, solar energy directly supports key ESG criteria, improving both your environmental score and your brand reputation.
With SolarTherm UK’s expert design and installation, each project is optimised for maximum output and environmental impact reporting – helping you prove your sustainability credentials with confidence.
Financial and Operations Benefits
Solar PV is not just a green investment, it’s a smart business decision too. Self-generating your own green electricity saves up to 70% on energy bills. On top of the savings, you can export excess power back to the grid and receive payment through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). A solar panel installation also protects against future price hikes, by self-generating a significant amount of your energy, you reduce your reliance on the grid. Solar equipped facilities are more attractive to tenants and investors due to the long term financial benefits and sustainability credentials, meaning properties with solar installed can attract higher valuations on the sale and rental market.
A Smarter Way to Power Industry
Whether you operate a logistics centre, production facility or a distribution hub, solar power can significantly reduce you environmental footprint while improving profitability. With a return on investment in as little as 5 years (sometimes even less) solar is a smart investment for business across Essex, Kent and London.
