Take control of rising energy costs with commercial solar PV. We design and install roof and ground-mounted systems with optional battery storage, sized to your usage and fully certified.
Commercial solar: the math
A typical commercial building (office/retail) uses 50–200kWh/day. At 28p/kWh (current commercial rate), that's £14–56/day in electricity. A 20kW solar system on a 1000m² roof generates roughly 25–30kWh on a good day — covering 25–50% of consumption and cutting bills by £3,600–7,000/year. Payback: 4–7 years, then 15+ years of free power. That's roughly 15% annual ROI, better than most investments.
System sizing and design
We model your building's actual consumption (peak hours? evenings? weekends?), your roof geometry and shading, and design a system that matches — oversize and you're paying for power you export at low rates; undersize and you miss savings. Battery storage (5–10kWh) shifts morning/afternoon solar to cover peak-rate hours, recouping investment faster.
Export revenue and grants
The Smart Export Guarantee pays 15–25p/kWh for surplus you feed back — smaller than the 28–30p you'd normally pay, but still revenue. Some business grants (regional/sectoral) cover 20–30% of cost. We identify what you qualify for.
Maintenance and monitoring
Solar systems need minimal maintenance (annual inspection, occasional cleaning). Monitoring shows real-time generation vs. consumption, so finance can see actual savings. Most systems come with 25-year warranties.
