Solar as a business investment
For companies, electricity is a key operational cost. A PV installation can reduce these costs by 60-90%, with current energy prices paying back in 4-6 years. After the payback period, the company gains practically free energy for the next 20-25 years.
Why companies invest in PV
Business motivations extend far beyond savings alone:
Typical ROI scenarios
| System size | Investment cost | Annual savings | Payback period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 kWp | €22,000 - €30,000 | €4,000 - €6,000 | 4-5 years |
| 50 kWp | €35,000 - €47,000 | €6,500 - €10,000 | 4-5 years |
| 100 kWp | €65,000 - €87,000 | €13,000 - €20,000 | 3-5 years |
| 200 kWp | €120,000 - €160,000 | €25,000 - €40,000 | 3-5 years |
