Scottish businesses are realising the real benefits of solar energy
As energy prices continue to rise, more businesses across Scotland are turning to solar power as a smart, long-term investment. Whether you run a small business or a large commercial operation, installing solar panels can help you reduce costs, gain energy independence, and improve your company’s environmental image.
At Intelligent Energy Solutions, we specialise in commercial solar installations and can guide you through available government grants and incentives to make your transition to solar more affordable.
Here’s why more Scottish companies are making the switch:
Significant cost savings on energy bills
One of the biggest reasons businesses invest in solar is to cut energy costs. With electricity prices at record highs, generating your own power can dramatically lower your bills and protect your business from future price hikes.
• A well-designed commercial solar system can reduce reliance on the grid by up to 80%.
• Any excess energy can be stored in a battery system for use during peak hours.
• Businesses can also benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), earning money by selling unused energy back to the grid.
Government grants and incentives are available
The Scottish Government offers financial support to help businesses transition to renewable energy. We provide expert guidance to help you apply for these schemes, which may include:
• The Energy Efficiency Grant Scheme – Supporting businesses to lower energy costs.
• Interest-free loans and tax benefits – Helping spread the cost of installation.
• Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) – Allowing businesses to offset solar investments against tax.
With our industry experience, Intelligent Energy Solutions make the process simple, ensuring you maximise every available incentive.
Energy independence and long-term stability
By installing solar, businesses gain control over their energy supply. This is especially valuable for companies with high energy demands, such as factories, warehouses, retail spaces, and offices.
• Reduce exposure to volatile energy markets.
• Protect against unexpected price spikes.
• Generate free electricity for 25+ years with minimal maintenance.
Strengthen your business’s green credentials
Customers and stakeholders are increasingly looking for eco-conscious businesses. Solar power is a visible and impactful way to show your commitment to sustainability.
• Many companies see increased customer trust and loyalty by promoting their green efforts.
• Going solar helps businesses meet net-zero goals and comply with environmental regulations.
• Large corporations often favour suppliers with strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.
Future-proofing your business
Investing in solar now means your business is prepared for the future. As Scotland moves towards net-zero carbon emissions, businesses with solar power will be ahead of the curve. Future policies may introduce higher levies on non-renewable energy, making solar an even smarter investment today.
