Installing lightweight solar panels on your commercial property will provide a guaranteed, index linked income for the next 25 years and add environmental credentials by reducing the carbon footprint of your business.
-
The key benefits for commercial building owners are:
- The business will be paid for generating green electricity
- The generated electricity can be used to reduce costs
- Any excess electricity is exported back to the grid for additional revenue
- Reduces your carbon footprint and will enhance the green credential of your business
- Utilises existing roof space, turning it into a valuable asset.
Typically, the return on investment is between 12-16% pa. This means that your solar installation should pay for itself in 6-7 years, with a guaranteed monthly income for another 17 years thereafter.
Financing
We offer a range of financing options through banks, finance companies and investor “rent your roof” agreements.

With a SKYShades lightweight solar installation a warehouse roof can now be converted into a revenue generating asset.
Why Install a SKYShades Solar Solution?
- Most warehouses are constructed with cost in mind and typically are not structurally strong enough to support the additional weight of glass solar panels. Our solutions start at a quarter of the weight of glass panels, just 5kgs per square meter compared to 20kgms.
- Installation will not impact your business – you can continue to operate as normal.
- Our products are non-glare making them more pleasing to the eye, and can come in a range of background colours to best match your building.
- Unlike traditional solar glass panels, our thin film is less attractive to vandals and can be installed more securely.
- All of our products use UNI-SOLAR thin film. This product has been on the market for over 20 years and therefore has a proven track record for continued performance. The data compiled during this time means we can accurately predict your investment payback and return on investment.
