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.
“As an iconic building in the Welsh capital, it is important to us that we promote our sustainable credentials and demonstrate our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. Working together with Joju we have increased, and improved, the Centre’s environmental performance and delivered a first-class result.”
“Thanks to the solar panels installed on three rooftops by Joju Solar, our college now runs on solar, powering our students’ work in graphic and product design, film and media, ceramics, glassmaking, textile printing and a host of other disciplines. This is only the beginning for us and our thanks go to the entire Joju team.”
“The construction process was well- planned and safely executed and the installations were completed within budget and to exacting timescales."

Latcham’s 567 kWp system saves 96 tonnes of CO2 a year. One of our challenges was to maximise the number of panels on the roof, helping to achieve their green dream!
The specialist care that many Brunelcare care homes provide requires significant electricity. We’ve helped reduce that energy cost with rooftop solar.
This covers it! We were delighted to install this solar carport, feeding clean energy into Leatherhead Leisure Centre for Mole Valley District Council, and maximising the use of space there.
