Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing and most popular sources of renewable energy across the UK, because it’s reliable, cost-effective, and easier than ever to install.
Saltire’s team of renewables experts have huge experience in installing solar panels (also known as photovoltaics or PV) and are known for supporting customers as they make the right choices for their commercial property.
Increasing numbers of businesses are looking for ways to shrink their carbon footprint and decrease their energy bills, as fuel costs continue to rise. Saltire are experts in a range of renewable technologies including air source heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points, solar panels, and solar battery storage, which is a great way to maximise the energy generated in your business and increase your independence from the grid.

Read more below to have some of your questions about solar panels answered.
Do I need a south-facing roof for solar panels?
It’s true that solar panels are most effective on a south-facing roof, but they also perform well when facing east or west.
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?
Solar panels are generally considered ‘permitted development’ so you won’t usually need to seek extra permissions.
What sort of maintenance do solar panels need?
Not much. Most window-cleaning companies will clean solar panels, and you should have them inspected and serviced every two years.
How long will my solar panels last for?
Solar panels have a long life span, and you can expect them to last for around 25 years.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the scope of the array that you opt to install at your business, though we will always work diligently to minimise disruption.
