Power Your Future with Solar

Commercial Solar PV is designed around your roof or land, your electrical infrastructure and the hours your site actually draws power. We arrange desktop feasibility assessment, site assessment, system design and installation through experienced partners.

A well-sized Solar system can help reduce energy costs, improve energy security, reduce carbon emissions and support wider net-zero and sustainability objectives. It can also make productive use of underused roof space or suitable land.

Solar can be relevant across a wide range of commercial properties and organisations, including schools and trusts, industrial and manufacturing sites, warehouses and logistics operations, offices and commercial premises, retail and leisure businesses, farms and agricultural sites, property owners and landlords, charities and not-for-profit organisations, and multi-site businesses.

The right system depends on the property, electricity demand, available roof or land area and the organisation's objectives rather than simply the size of the building.

For homeowners, we look at roof orientation, shading, household usage and future plans such as EV Charging or battery storage, then specify a system that suits the property.

Roof-mounted systems make productive use of existing space. Ground-mounted arrays can suit sites with available land and may allow larger systems and easier maintenance access, subject to planning and site suitability.

Commercial Solar can be purchased outright, funded through a Solar Power Purchase Agreement, or arranged through Solar PV Asset Finance where appropriate. A PPA can offer little or no upfront capital requirement, with the site buying the electricity generated under the agreement while the funder normally handles ownership and maintenance.

Asset finance can allow an eligible business to spread the cost of a Solar installation rather than paying the full capital cost upfront. Depending on the structure, the business may retain ownership of the Solar asset and gain greater control over the system, while reducing electricity purchased from the grid and supporting long-term Energy planning. Provider terms determine ownership, maintenance, payment structure and any end-of-term arrangements.

Solar can still be considered where a building is leased or occupied by another organisation. We can assess potential arrangements involving freeholders and landlords, leaseholders and tenants, schools and academy trusts, charities and not-for-profit organisations, industrial estates and multi-occupancy sites, property portfolios and organisations with multiple locations.

Property permissions, roof access, lease terms, responsibilities and ownership should be understood before a project proceeds.

Solar investment may interact with tax, capital allowance and cash-flow considerations depending on the business, project structure and the rules in force at the time. Relevant treatment can vary, so businesses should take appropriate tax advice on their own circumstances.

Our initial desktop assessment is free and carries no obligation. Using information about the property, energy use and objectives, we can provide an initial view of whether Solar PV may be suitable and what commercial opportunities may be worth exploring.

The assessment can consider property and roof characteristics, energy consumption and demand profile, potential Solar generation, financial and funding routes, and wider environmental considerations. Any projected figures remain subject to site-specific assessment and provider terms.
