Why Choose a 40kW Solar Panel System?
For many UK businesses that consume a lot of electricity a 40kW solar panel system helps in:
- Delivering sufficient energy to support the heavy usage needs of medium and large commercial properties
- A smart choice for companies with annual electricity bills between £12,000 and £18,000.
- Built with high-quality parts made for business use to ensure reliable, long-lasting performance
- Covered by strong 25-year warranties for long-term peace of mind.
- Reduces your carbon footprint and supports your ESG commitments.
Should Your Business Get a 40kW Solar Panel System?
A 40kW system might suit your needs if your power bill runs between £12,000–£18,000. This setup aims to meet high daytime power needs and offers great value over time.
Typical setup cost: around £40,000, based on:
- Your roof's size build, and how easy it is to reach
- How the panel system is designed and the quality of its parts
- Any power upgrades and how it hooks up to the grid
As a rough guide, that’s about £1,000 for each kW but you’ll get your real price after an on-site check tailored to what your company needs.
Cut your costs, not your profits.
