  • how do solar panels work

    How the system works

    Our solar PV system delivers electricity directly to your business, providing low-cost, renewable energy. Your business will prioritise this electricity while staying connected to the grid - no need to change your existing energy supplier.

    Electricity costs from utility companies include the raw electricity ('commodity price') and additional charges like levies and taxes ('non-commodity price'). With electricity generated from your rooftop solar panels, you pay only for the raw electricity, cutting overall costs.

    Our solar panel systems operate during daylight hours, customised to your electricity needs for optimal efficiency and savings.

Solar for print and production - getting started

Businesses need advice they can trust. At Electron Green, impartiality is built into our model. Because we often own the system initially and charge only for the electricity generated, we are incentivised to recommend solar only when it’s the right solution for your business. You can trust us to install high-quality, efficient systems designed for long-term performance.

FAQ's

Solar PV (solar photovoltaics) is a way of generating electricity using energy from the sun. Modern solar panels produce electricity from daylight and do not require direct sunlight, although more electricity is generated on bright sunny days.

Yes it is. This includes any initial consultation, the  solar panels, installation, and maintenance for 25 years. You’ll pay for only the solar electricity you use, at a price lower than your current utility cost.

Simply get in touch with us. There is no obligation to proceed beyond the information stage, but we would love to discuss solar with you.

No you don’t. Rooftop solar electricity is fed directly into your data centre and is used first before your building pulls from the grid for ‘top-up’ electricity. Any top-ups happen automatically. You don’t have to change utility provider and you don’t have to wait until your current utility contract comes to an end. Rooftop solar could supply up to 30% of your electricity needs.

Any solar electricity generated will be used by your data centre automatically. You don’t need to take any steps to make this happen.

This depends on the size of the system, and any local regulations. The whole process, however, can be swift and non-disruptive to business-as-usual.

This free rooftop solar solution is simple and includes: free solar designs and surveys, a free solar PV system for the roof, free installation, free insurance, free maintenance for the life of your contract and a low price for electricity.

You have the option to purchase the solar system from us at any time, with the price adjusted to reflect depreciation over the duration of your contract.
