Design around your business, not just your roof

A large roof does not automatically mean a large solar array is the best investment. We assess available space, shading, roof condition, electrical infrastructure and your daytime demand before recommending a system.

Send us a recent electricity bill, your site address and, if available, half-hourly consumption data. This helps us assess how much solar electricity your business could use on site and whether battery storage deserves a closer look.

What your project can include

  • Site survey, solar layout and system design.

  • Commercial rooftop PV installation and electrical connections.

  • Battery storage assessment for new or existing solar systems.

  • Grid-connection applications and export-control requirements, where applicable.

  • Testing, commissioning, monitoring setup and handover.

  • Ongoing maintenance, fault finding and system upgrades.

A clear route from enquiry to installation

1. Review your site and bills. We discuss your operating hours, energy demand, ownership or lease arrangements and future plans such as EV charging.

2. Survey and design. We check practical constraints, electrical capacity, access and roof suitability. Any additional structural or specialist assessments are identified before installation.

3. Agree the scope. Your proposal should set out equipment, installation work, assumptions, exclusions and estimated performance. Savings depend on electricity prices, generation and how much power you use on site.

4. Install and hand over. We plan access and any necessary shutdowns with your team, then test and commission the system and explain its operation.

Should your business add a battery?

Storage can move solar generation into later operating hours. Its value depends on your demand pattern, tariffs, available solar surplus and equipment costs. We assess the case for storage alongside solar-only options. Backup power requires a suitable system design and should be specified separately.

Commercial solar questions

Can you assess an existing solar system?

Yes. We offer maintenance, fault finding, upgrades and assessment of battery additions. Share the existing equipment details and any monitoring information with your enquiry.

Can solar work on leased premises?

It may be possible, but landlord consent, lease terms and responsibility for the roof and equipment need to be established before committing to work.

How much does commercial solar cost?

There is no reliable one-price answer. System size, access, roof construction, cable routes, electrical upgrades and connection requirements all affect the quote. A site-specific assessment is the starting point.
