OVO is moving beyond residential energy with the launch of a new end-to-end solar PV installation service for commercial properties.
The new commercial offering builds on OVO’s growing network of trusted local solar installers. By working with regional partners, the service not only helps businesses cut bills but also supports skilled jobs and supply chains within local communities.
The service includes the full offering from the initial site survey and system design to the installation and maintenance of high-efficiency solar panels for businesses.
Later this year, any UK business with a suitable roof or land – and irrespective of their energy supplier – can sign up and save. Empty roof space is a wasted asset, and the new offering will support businesses in their efforts to save costs and carbon.
By generating their own power, businesses can hedge against market volatility, providing long-term budget certainty. With OVO’s commercial solar installation services, businesses will see their electricity costs slashed by 30 – 50%, which they will be able to lock in for 25+ years. With strong daytime usage commercial solar also delivers fast returns, with typical payback for a commercial system being between 4 to 8 years.
Director of Franchise at OVO Ed Janvrin said: “Energy bills remain a real concern for local businesses. This launch is about giving them practical control. By generating their own power, businesses can reduce costs, protect themselves from volatility and invest more back into their operations and their communities.
“We’re proud to be working with local installers to deliver systems that help power local economies as well as lower carbon emissions.”
