A trusted family-run car dealership in Derby, has been serving the local community with reliable used cars since 1967. With over 55 years of experience, they were keen to future-proof their premises and explore cost-saving measures such as installing solar panels. To that end, they reached out to discuss the potential of commercial solar panel installation.
Our installers helped this client by:
- To help cut down the overall running costs of the car showroom, we designed and installed a solar panel system.
- The system includes 68 solar panels and provides renewable electricity to help charge electric vehicles on site.
- With this solar PV system, the showroom is set to save an impressive £6,816 a year on electricity bills — adding up to a massive £364,152 over 25 years.
In light of rising energy costs, the need to meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for commercial properties, and the growing shift towards electric vehicles, adding commercial solar panels to the roof of their dealership offered an ideal solution. By installing these panels, they would be able to lower their energy bills, enhance their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, and charge electric vehicles using renewable energy.
