Is Solar a Good Investment?

Solar benefits business

When we started Joju Solar twenty years ago, the landscape was very different and we were pioneers of an emerging clean technology. Now, solar is widely considered an excellent investment for businesses and commercial organisations.

Commercial solar installations typically reduce electricity bills by 70–90%, achieving payback within 3 to 8 years. With most panels guaranteed for 25 years, you receive decades of effectively free, renewable energy. Generating your own solar electricity also protects your business from fluctuating grid prices.

When it comes to funding your rooftop solar, there are certainly options for companies to avoid the inital up front capital cost through community group investment, who raise the finance and sell you the electricity back via a Power Purchase Agreement.

There are many other economic and environmental benefits too.

Take a listen to Joju Solar’s founder and CEO, Joe Michaels, chatting about the benefits of solar and why it’s a great investment for businesses and commercial organisations up and down the country.
