OVO Energy Unveils New Commercial Solar Service to Drastically Reduce Business Energy Costs
OVO Energy is launching an innovative commercial solar installation service specifically designed to assist local businesses across the United Kingdom in significantly lowering their electricity expenses. This new initiative promises to help companies cut their energy bills by an impressive 30 to 50 percent, providing long-term financial stability and enabling operations to be powered by clean, renewable energy sources.
Service Details and Availability
The comprehensive service includes everything from initial site surveys and system design to the installation and ongoing maintenance of high-efficiency solar panels. Initially, the offering is available to businesses located in regions including the South West, South East, East of England, Greater London, as well as select areas in Scotland and Wales. Later this year, OVO plans to expand access to the mass market, allowing any UK business with suitable roof space or land to sign up, regardless of their current energy supplier.
Addressing Business Energy Pressures
With energy costs remaining one of the most significant financial pressures facing small and medium-sized enterprises, generating power on-site through solar installations offers a practical and effective solution to reduce overheads. By adopting this technology, businesses can lock in lower energy costs for 25 years or more, providing substantial savings and protection against market volatility.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
Ed Janvrin, Director of Franchise at OVO, emphasized the importance of this launch, stating, "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." He added, "We’re proud to be working with local installers to deliver systems that help power local economies as well as lower carbon emissions."
The new commercial offering builds on OVO’s expanding network of trusted local solar installers. By collaborating with regional partners, the service not only helps businesses cut their bills but also supports skilled jobs and strengthens supply chains within local communities. Commercial solar systems typically offer fast returns, with payback periods ranging from 4 to 8 years, especially for businesses with strong daytime energy usage.
This initiative represents a significant step forward in helping UK businesses achieve greater energy independence, reduce their environmental footprint, and enhance their financial resilience in an increasingly competitive market.
