Powercor is one of the largest and most trusted installers of larger solar arrays and battery solutions in the South East of England.

Whether you’re a school looking to reduce energy expenses and teach students about sustainability, or an office aiming to lower your carbon footprint, solar energy offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.

For Schools:

With solar panels, schools can not only save energy but also use the system as a hands-on educational tool. Students can learn about renewable energy, sustainability, and environmental responsibility through real-world examples and Powercor’s metering and measurement platform. Our Solar Calculator can help you envision the installation and understand how solar will fit into your school’s infrastructure.

For Offices:

Reducing operational costs is key for any business, and energy expenses can be a significant overhead. Solar panels and battery storage provide an excellent opportunity for offices to lower these costs while also demonstrating a commitment to green practices. This can improve your company’s public image and help attract environmentally conscious clients and employees. Use our Solar Calculator to assess the feasibility and long-term benefits of installing solar panels at your office building.

For Commercial Buildings:

Larger commercial buildings like warehouses, factories, and retail spaces can greatly benefit from solar power. These properties often have vast, flat rooftops that are ideal for large-scale solar installations. By switching to solar, you can make your business more resilient to energy price fluctuations, improve your sustainability credentials, and significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Our Solar Calculator takes your unique building needs into account, ensuring that you receive the most accurate estimates and recommendations.
