Unlock Long-Term Savings
Why Commercial Solar Makes Sense for Your Business
Drive down your energy costs
Top priority for any business is reducing operational overhead – and energy is often one of the biggest line-items. By installing a commercial solar panel system with Bloom Renewables, your business can generate its own electricity, leading to significant, sustained reductions in energy bills. Realistically payback periods can be as short as 5–10 years, while the system typically lasts 25–30 years, giving you decades of ROI.
Additional financial incentives further strengthen the business case:
- 0% VAT: Commercial PV panels and solar storage batteries are currently zero-rated for VAT, lowering upfront costs
- Tax Relief: Many UK companies can benefit from allowances like the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), allowing you to deduct a large portion of the solar system cost from taxable profits
- Flexible Financing: Bloom offers a range of financing options through trusted partners, including leasing, hire-purchase, or loans – meaning you can choose the structure that optimises your cash flow.
By switching to solar, you’re not just cutting costs, you’re locking in predictable, clean energy prices, shielding your business from future energy price volatility.
Strengthen energy resilience & independence
In an increasingly uncertain energy market, resilience is key. Here’s how commercial solar supports that:
Reduced reliance on the grid
On-site generation directly lowers how much energy you need to import, offering protection against price hikes and supply risks
Backup power with batteries
Pairing your solar system with storage (e.g. Tesla Powerwall 3 or other battery technology) gives you a buffer against blackouts or brownouts.
Turnkey process and expertise
Bloom handles everything – from the initial energy audit and feasibility, structural assessment and design, to permits, installation and connection.
Long-term maintenance
After installation, Bloom continues to support you with ongoing maintenance, annual inspections and a five-year full service contract.
By building this energy resilience, you’re not only protecting your business from future shocks – you’re also future-proofing it for a more energy-uncertain world.

Meet sustainability goals & reduce your carbon footprint
Beyond cost and resilience, solar is one of the most compelling levers for improving your company’s environmental impact:
- Lower emissions: Generating electricity from the sun reduces your reliance on fossil-fuel-powered grid energy, helping cut your carbon emissions
- Net-zero and ESG credentials: Installing solar aligns with Net Zero goals and boosts your ESG profile, making your business more attractive to investors, clients, and stakeholders
- Innovation-led sustainability: Bloom is deeply invested in clean-energy innovation, including Agri-PV (solar that coexists with farming) and peer-to-peer renewable energy trading via its Rural Energy Network
- Long life, long impact: With a lifespan of 25–30 years, the environmental benefits of installing solar now will compound over decades.
Adopting solar is not just about cost – it’s about responsibility, reputation, and long-term environmental leadership.
