Solar power is a renewable energy source that works by absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. Installing solar photovoltaic (PV) solutions enables organizations to generate their own efficient energy supply on-site instead of drawing more expensive energy from the grid – the power can be used directly on-site or fed back into the grid to create an additional revenue stream.

Solar energy companies like Centrica Business Solutions can help your organization harness this 100% sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective energy to power your operations. We help organizations unlock value from existing site infrastructure like their roof, parking lot, or ground space – by installing public sector and commercial solar power systems to transform existing space into sources of on-site renewable energy generation. Every solar power system is custom-designed and engineered to your specific site, needs, and energy goals in order to maximize energy production and deliver energy savings.
