Comprehensive Solar Services for Your Business

A typical 100 kWp commercial solar system can save between £22,500 and £27,000 per year at current electricity rates. Most quality installations pay for themselves within 5 to 7 years, with panels carrying warranties of 25 years. Actual savings depend on your roof orientation, shading, and consumption profile.

Most commercial rooftop solar installations fall within permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, or systems that exceed certain size thresholds. We handle all planning assessments as part of our feasibility study.

From initial site survey to system switch-on, most commercial projects take 12 to 16 weeks. The physical installation itself typically takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on system size. DNO grid connection approval can take 4 to 12 weeks, which is why we submit applications immediately after contract signature.

UK businesses have several zero- or low-capex options including Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), solar leases, and green asset finance. Under a PPA, a third-party investor owns the system and you buy the power at a rate 20-40% below grid prices. We provide independent advisory to help you choose the right model.

Most commercial buildings with unshaded roof space are suitable. Key factors include roof structural capacity, electrical infrastructure, orientation, and shading. Our free site survey and feasibility report will give you a clear answer, including generation forecasts and financial projections specific to your property.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance but periodic cleaning, vegetation management, and electrical inspections help maintain peak performance. We recommend annual professional inspections, quarterly cleaning for urban sites, and continuous remote monitoring to catch faults early.

Yes. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) obliges major suppliers to pay for surplus electricity you export. SEG tariffs range from 1p to 20p per kWh depending on your supplier. Businesses with battery storage can further optimise export timing to maximise income during peak demand periods.

All our installations are MCS certified and backed by comprehensive warranties. Solar panels carry 25-year performance warranties, inverters typically have 10-12 year warranties, and our workmanship guarantee covers installation quality. We also offer ongoing maintenance contracts with priority fault response.
