Will Solar Panel Installation Stop Business Operations?
Transitioning to commercial solar installation is a significant switch for any business, fuelled by a step towards sustainability and lowering substantial costs. Installing solar panels to your commercial property brings numerous benefits – reduced bills, smaller carbon footprints, and tax incentives – yet some businesses are slow to take that journey to solar independence.
One of the main concerns that the team at AMS Solutions hears when we discuss the transition to commercial solar power solutions Manchester is how the installation would affect the daily and the duration it stands to run. We decided it was time to explore and provide some insight into what you should expect as a business when making that upgrade.
The Installation Process
Before looking at any disruptions to your operations, a basic understanding of the installation process is essential. Our professional solar team will evaluate your property’s suitability for solar panels. We look at roof orientation, shading, and the available space for the number of panels required.
Once we have assessed your building, we customise a solar panel system design for your business, which is then submitted for any necessary permits and approvals. Once approved, the installation involves mounting the panels on your roof or open space and wiring the connections to integrate the panels with your electrical system.
After installation is completed, an inspection is performed to ensure the system complies with regulations before being connected with the grid, and you can begin generating clean energy.
Disruptions
There will be certain disruptions to your business operations when installation occurs, but the extent will depend on various factors. If your panels are installed on a roof, you can expect some noise and activity. If you run a warehouse, it probably won’t disrupt you. If you run an office, it will undoubtedly disrupt your working day.
The installation process can take several days to a couple of weeks to complete and become active, depending on how big and complex the installation is. There may be limited access to certain areas of your building during installation. A professional commercial solar panel installation team will work with you to reduce the disruption to your working patterns as much as possible. Installation can occur during off-peak hours or over weekends to reduce the time your business is impacted by solar panel installation, including any potential power interruptions during the connection phase.
By partnering with professional commercial solar solutions providers in Manchester, your business can smoothly navigate the transition through the installation process with minimal disruption and a pathway to clean renewable energy. Contact our friendly team at AMS Solutions today.
