Why Commercial Solar
With UK energy prices still 2-3x higher than pre-2022 levels, commercial solar typically pays for itself in under 5 years and continues delivering free energy for 25+ years after that.
Generate your own electricity at 4-5p per kWh vs paying 20-25p to the grid. A typical commercial system pays for itself in under 5 years.
Reduce your scope 2 emissions and demonstrate clear environmental commitment to customers, investors and procurement teams.
Commercial solar qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance — typically allowing you to deduct 100% of the cost from your taxable profits in year one.
Panels are warrantied for 25-30 years and add real capital value to your property. Hedge against decades of grid price increases.
Our Process
We handle every stage in-house — site survey, system design, electrical work, DNO liaison and commissioning. One team, accountable for the whole project.
We visit your premises, analyse your current consumption, review your bills and assess your roof or land for solar potential.
A full proposal covering system size, projected yield, savings, payback period, AIA tax relief and projected CO2 reduction.
Our in-house team handles everything — scaffolding, panels, inverters, DNO notification and all electrical work to NICEIC standards.
We commission the system, walk you through the monitoring app and provide ongoing aftercare for the lifetime of the install.
Recent Small Commercial Installs
From convenience stores to specialist retail, we install commercial solar systems that cut energy bills from day one. Here are two of our most recent small commercial installations.
Solar PV and battery storage installed at this Bargain Booze store — cutting daytime electricity costs and protecting against future grid price rises. A perfect example of how small footprint solar can deliver real returns for high-throughput retail.
Commercial solar and battery installation at this busy One Stop convenience store, designed to cover the bulk of daytime fridge and lighting loads with clean, low-cost solar power. Tidy installation, minimal disruption to trading.

Typically saves over 80% per unit rate of electricity (kWH) compared to buying from the grid. The equivalent cost of producing electricity with a commercial solar PV system is around 4-5 pence per kWh. In 2024, UK businesses will typically be paying 20-25 pence per kWh for their daytime electricity, and in some cases significantly more than this.
