Solar Panels for Businesses

  • By installing solar panels on your production facility or office building, your business can generate clean energy independently and save up to 70% of annual electricity costs, while selling any surplus to the grid for additional income. This eco-friendly solution enhances both your resilience and your image in the eyes of partners.

Benefits for Businesses

  • Solar panels significantly lower energy bills. You become less dependent on the grid and fluctuating tariffs, saving not only on kilowatt-hour costs but also on network fees and taxes. Surplus energy can be sold back to the grid, turning savings into additional income.

  • Investing in a solar system is a smart investment with predictable returns. Panels last 25+ years, providing stable generation and payback typically within 5–8 years, after which electricity is nearly free. Additionally, a solar installation increases a building’s energy efficiency rating and market value, benefiting the owner.

  • Solar energy is a free and widely available resource, giving your business greater energy independence. With no moving parts, the system reliably generates electricity with minimal maintenance. You become less vulnerable to price fluctuations and power outages while securing your own energy reserve.

  • Switching to solar energy demonstrates your company’s social responsibility. Reducing electricity consumption from fossil fuels lowers your carbon footprint and harmful emissions. Using 100% renewable energy enhances your brand’s eco-friendly image, appreciated by clients and investors, while helping meet CO₂ reduction targets.

How It Works

  • If solar generation is sufficient, the building can partially or fully meet its energy needs independently. Any excess electricity is sent to the main grid, with the meter recording kilowatt-hours for later sale or credit. During periods when solar energy is insufficient (nighttime, cloudy weather, or peak loads), the system automatically draws the required power from the grid. Everything operates seamlessly — your business is always powered, either from the sun or the municipal network, without interruptions.

    System output depends on its capacity and conditions. In Estonia, 1 kW of solar panels generates on average 700–1000 kWh per year. For example, a 50 kW system can produce approximately 50 MWh annually (≈60,000 kWh), equivalent to the yearly consumption of around 15 private households. Thus, a solar installation for a business significantly reduces purchased electricity and allows the company to spend less on powering its operations.

Government Subsidies Up to 70%

Estonia offers government programs that significantly reduce the cost of transitioning businesses to renewable energy. Companies can receive compensation of up to 70% of the cost of solar panel equipment and installation. This support makes investing in a solar power system an even more attractive opportunity.

Our team provides a full range of services for handling all necessary documentation: we’ll advise you on which subsidies are available for your business, prepare the application, and guide the project through to grant approval. As a result, you save not only on electricity bills but also on the installation itself — a significant portion of the expenses is covered by the government. Take advantage of this opportunity to start generating clean energy with minimal costs and strengthen your business today!

Who Is It Suitable For

Commercial solar solutions are ideal for businesses across all industries that have space for panel installation and significant electricity bills. This includes manufacturing workshops and factories, warehouses and logistics centers, shopping complexes, office buildings, hotels — essentially, any company looking to reduce costs and increase predictability in energy expenses.

  • It’s no surprise that an increasing number of Estonian companies — from small firms to large factories — are installing solar panels or even forming cooperatives to produce their own energy
