Solar Panels for Businesses
A solar power plant helps businesses reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid and make energy costs more predictable.
Solar panels can be installed on the roofs of production and office buildings or on suitable land. If needed, the solution can be supplemented with battery storage and smart energy management. With an electricity sales agreement in place, excess electricity can be sold back to the grid.

How Does It Work?
Support and Financing Opportunities for Businesses
In Estonia, depending on the field of activity, the purpose of the investment and the specific project, various renewable energy and energy efficiency support measures may be available to companies. The support rate, eligible costs and application conditions depend on the specific measure and may change over time.
Altmer Energy helps assess the technical suitability of the project and the possibilities of receiving support, and prepares the technical source data and documents required for applying for support. If a suitable support measure is available, we can also help prepare the application.
Using support may reduce the need for self-financing of a solar energy or energy storage solution. Before making an investment decision, it is worth checking which support measures are currently open for the specific project and which costs are eligible under them.
Who Is It Suitable For
A solar power plant may be suitable for companies with significant electricity consumption and a technically suitable roof or ground area for installing panels. The solution may be suitable, for example, for manufacturing companies, warehouses and logistics centres, commercial and office buildings, hotels and agricultural companies.
The solution is particularly suitable for companies with high daytime electricity consumption – for example, manufacturing companies, refrigeration and warehouse centres, and commercial buildings with high energy consumption.
Solar energy generated on-site helps reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid. Actual savings depend on the company’s consumption profile, system size, electricity price and how much of the generated energy is used on-site.
The use of renewable energy can support the achievement of the company’s energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
When selecting a suitable system, the company’s actual consumption profile, existing grid connection, installation area, peak loads and the need for energy storage or backup power are taken into account. The suitability and economic impact of the solution are assessed individually for each property.
