Solar & Battery Storage

Commercial rooftop solar PV with battery storage — designed, installed and connected by our own electricians.

Solar, done by electricians

One team from structural survey to G98/G99 connection.

Solar is an electrical installation first — and that's how we treat it. Our own electricians design the array, run the DC and AC sides, handle the DNO notification and hand over a certified, monitored system. No subcontracted install teams.

For businesses, roof space is money: a commercial rooftop array offsets daytime consumption exactly when the building is using power, and pairs with EV charging to cut fleet running costs. We survey, model the payback and give you a straight answer on whether your roof stacks up.

What we install

  • Commercial rooftop solar PV
  • In-roof panel systems — no wind stress on the roof, no nesting birds underneath
  • Battery storage — added to existing solar or installed as a complete system
  • Solar paired with EV charging
  • Monitoring, so you can see generation from day one

Already have solar?

Has your installer gone bust, or your warranty run out? Do you think your system is under-performing? We check existing systems for a small fee — and if maintenance work is needed, we take the fee off the cost of the work.

Contact UsCapability Statement

Design in-house

Array layout, string design, inverter and battery sizing, payback modelling — done by us, not a sales team.

Programmed around you

Straightforward installs are done in a day; commercial arrays are programmed around your operation.

Battery ready

Save through the day and at night. We retrofit batteries to existing arrays or install complete solar-plus-storage systems.

FAQs

Common questions

Straight answers to the questions we're asked most — and if yours isn't here, call us on 01376 773 063.

What's the typical payback on commercial rooftop solar?

It depends on how much of the generation you use on site — solar is most valuable offsetting daytime consumption at your import rate. For businesses using power through the working day, payback commonly lands in the 4–8 year range, on a system warrantied for 25. We model your half-hourly usage and give you a straight answer before you commit.

Do we need planning permission for rooftop solar?

Most commercial rooftop installations fall under permitted development, subject to conditions — exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat-roof cases. We check this as part of the survey.

Can we get paid for electricity we export?

Yes — the Smart Export Guarantee requires licensed suppliers to pay for exported units. Export rates are well below import rates, which is why we size systems around your own consumption first and treat export income as a bonus.

Is battery storage worth adding?

It can be — batteries let you use solar generated at midday during evening or overnight operation, and can reduce peak demand charges. Whether the economics stack up depends on your tariff and usage pattern, which is exactly what our survey models.
