Commercial Solar

Light commercial and agricultural installs, with asset-financed options for businesses that want to spread the cost.

What we do

Commercial solar is a straightforward return-on-investment story: generate your own daytime load, slash a chunk of your energy bill, and export the rest. We design, install and commission flat-roof and pitched commercial arrays, with asset-finance options available so you can preserve working capital.

  • Flat-roof ballasted mounting systems, no roof penetrations.
  • Pitched roof arrays on industrial units and barns.
  • Three-phase hybrid inverters and commercial battery banks.
  • G99 DNO applications for larger systems.
  • Asset-financed options for systems above a typical domestic size.
  • Half-hourly consumption analysis to right-size the system.

The commercial solar decision tree, honestly

Commercial solar is a capital decision. It's not about subsidies and it's not about ESG headlines, it's about whether the system generates more value over 20 years than the capital it ties up, risk-adjusted. For the right site, payback sits between 3 and 6 years and the 20-year return is compelling. For the wrong site, you'd be better off paying down debt.

Three things move the needle hardest: your daytime on-site consumption (the higher the self-consumption fraction, the better the economics), your current per-unit energy cost (the higher it is today, the more a solar kWh saves you), and the roof structural condition (a re-roof cost during the panels' life wipes out the business case).

We'll walk a site and pull your half-hourly consumption data before we quote. Where self-consumption fraction is high enough, a battery often isn't needed, you consume what you generate. Where it's lower, a commercial battery might be worth modelling. Where the case genuinely isn't there, we'll tell you; not every roof should have solar on it just because it could.
