Solar Panels for Retail & Hospitality
Reduce your energy expenses by generating your own electricity.
Does your shop, hotel, pub, or restaurant have a large roof space and high energy demands? Put your roof to good use by installing solar panels and generating your own electricity for energy independence and cheaper bills.
Smaller energy bills during long trading hours
Future-proof your energy supply, enhance your green credentials and stand out from your competitors by installing solar panels. While retail spaces benefit from the energy they generate during the day, hospitality venues with evening peaks can add a solar battery to cover busy evening usage.
For customer-facing venues, your improved ESG ratings show commitment to sustainability and in turn, you can benefit from savings on your energy bills.
How it works
We will support you through the whole process from your initial enquiry to funding applications and projected ROI, so you can see your projected savings before committing. When you purchase solar panels from LMF, we’ll take you through the following process:
Tailored design
We design a system to suit your building.
Installation & setup
Minimal disruption and fully certified engineers.
Ongoing support
Maintenance, monitoring, & aftercare.
When can you expect to see ROI?
Planning and installation of your solar panels can prove to be difficult with a customer-facing business. However, we will work alongside your team to coordinate installation and ensure it doesn’t clash with any important events.
Once your solar panels have been installed, you can expect to see payback in as little as 3-6 years. For your peace of mind, we would never recommend installing solar panels if you won’t see ROI within the first few years.
The benefits of commercial solar panels for retail and hospitality applications
Customer-facing venues need to prove their commitment to sustainability more and more, and installing solar panels is a great way to do it. Not only will your business be seen as more environmentally friendly, but you can also benefit from savings on your energy bills, as well as:
-
Enhanced brand reputation
-
Reduced energy costs
-
Financial sustainability against fluctuating energy prices
-
Appeal to environmentally conscious consumers
-
Long-term energy savings
Commercial solar batteries
Solar battery storage complements solar panel systems and can be installed alongside both new and existing systems. Store any excess energy you generate on a lower tariff and use it when you need it most.
Financing your solar panels
Switching to solar can be a significant upfront investment, but it can lead to significant savings in the long run. Whether you choose to purchase your solar panels outright or look for grants and incentives, there are plenty of ways to finance your solar panels:
-
Full payment
-
Finance plans
-
Government/local authority funding
-
UK Shared Prosperity Fund
