Geo Green Power offer expert commercial solar installations for all types of buildings
Factories, warehouses and industrial buildings often have significant roof space, and high energy usage, making them ideal locations for solar panels. Over the past few years, more and more businesses have realised the potential to harness free renewable energy simply by adding solar panels to their roofs. Businesses operating in factories and warehouses are bringing their energy costs down by producing their own free electricity on-site.
Whether you are looking to cut costs, reduce your carbon footprint or secure your future energy supply, Geo Green Power offer expert commercial solar installations with proven high yielding solar panels.
What our customers say
Why harness solar energy for your factory or industrial building roof?
The roofs of factories are often the ideal place to install solar panels. As factories are energy-intensive buildings, installing a solar PV system on the roof of a factory ensures free power can be generated to run everything underneath it. While reducing energy costs, a solar PV installation has the added benefit of demonstrating Corporate Social Responsibility thanks to its environmental credentials.
What are the benefits of PV solar panels for warehouses?
As energy efficiency rises to the top of the agenda for warehouse and logistics firms, more and more are seeing the benefits of solar PV. Installing solar PV on warehouse roofs means generating free electricity for the warehouse and adjacent buildings, such as offices.
Warehouse and logistics firms can significantly reduce their energy bills with a solar PV system. Energy bills are typically responsible for around 15% of operating costs in a warehouse facility, due to temperature control systems and lighting. By adding solar panels, which generate their own free electricity, these energy bills can be substantially reduced.

Will I have to get planning permission?
Not in the vast majority of cases. However, if you want your system ground mounted, if your property is part of a world heritage site, or is listed, then planning permission would likely have to be sought in advance. We would advise when this was the case, and while you would have to seek such permission we will of course provide full assistance in completing applications and supplying any information requested to ensure the process is as quick and easy as possible.

FAQs
How much can I save on energy costs by installing solar panels on my factory roof?
Customers can see a healthy reduction in their bills of up to 80% annually, dependant on the size of the system installed.
What is the typical return on investment (ROI) for solar panel installations in industrial buildings?
This depends on your current tariff, but the majority of the systems we design and install for commercial, manufacturing clients deliver a full ROI or payback within 3-5 years.
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels on my factory?
In short, no. As long as your system panels maintain a 1m boarder around the roof then we just need to submit a prior notification in order to install, which we complete for the customer.
How long does the installation process take for commercial solar panels?
This depends on the customer’s type of roof. A 100KW system on a metal roof would typically take 6-8 working days from start to finish. Other roof types and system sizes will vary.
We take every opportunity to limit the impact on a business whilst we install, and sites can stay open and operating throughout installation with only a short period of out of hours power loss.
What maintenance is required for solar panels on industrial buildings?
Solar panel installations are very low maintenance. We recommend an annual service which starts from £475.00 + VAT which will ensure the system operates efficiently and highlights any issues that may cause a dip in the performance of the system, but this is not obligatory.
During a service we will inspect the panels for any build up of dirt and will recomend a panel clean when necessary.
