Big roofs, daytime load. Commercial buildings are what solar was made for.
Your peak demand and your peak generation happen at the same time.
Commercial buildings have the best solar profile of any building type: large roofs, and consumption that peaks in the middle of the day when generation peaks too.
That alignment is what makes commercial solar work. Unlike a home, where much of the demand is in the evening, most businesses are drawing their heaviest load exactly when the array is producing. Self-consumption rates on well-sized commercial systems are correspondingly high — and every self-consumed unit is displaced at full retail price, standing charges and levies included.
Grant support is available through the Non-Domestic Microgeneration Grant, tiered by system size. We confirm the current position during feasibility.
Oversizing to export is a common and expensive mistake.
Commercial solar is sized from data, not from roof area. We work from your half-hourly consumption where it’s available and build the array around the load profile it reveals.
Oversizing a commercial array so it exports heavily is a common and expensive mistake. Export earns less than self-consumption saves.
From insulation to heat pumps, ventilation and more. Improve comfort, lower bills and increase your BER rating.
New builds, extensions and deep retrofits, fully managed from design and planning through to construction and completion.
High-quality solar panel systems for homes, farms and businesses. Lower energy costs and gain energy independence.
Energy upgrades and construction solutions for commercial, agricultural and public sector projects.
Beyond the bill, there are reasons commercial solar now appears on agendas it didn’t use to reach.
Tender and supply chain requirements. Public sector tenders and large private buyers increasingly ask about energy and carbon. On-site generation is a concrete answer.
Reporting obligations. Businesses caught by sustainability reporting requirements need measurable, attributable reductions, and on-site generation is among the cleanest to evidence.
Property value and lettability. Building energy performance is now part of how commercial property is valued and leased.
Price stability. Generation you own is generation whose cost you’ve already fixed for twenty-odd years.
We phase installation around trading hours and production schedules. Most commercial installations proceed with no interruption to the business at all.
It’s set by your load profile, not your roof area. We size from consumption data so you self-consume as much as possible.
It depends on your tariff, your load profile and the grant level that applies. We model it on your actual numbers rather than quoting an industry average.
Rarely. Installation is phased around your operation and most of the work is on the roof.
Systems above certain thresholds need an ESB Networks application. We handle it and tell you honestly how long it’s likely to take.
Usually yes, if the system is designed with that in mind. Worth flagging at design stage even if you’re not buying one now.
