Who It Is For

Farms & Agricultural

Barn roofs, outbuildings, and ground-mount arrays for farms across Lanarkshire. Ideal for high daytime energy use from dairy, grain drying, and cold storage.

Businesses & Retail

Shops, offices, and retail units with roof space can offset daytime consumption. Reduce overheads and demonstrate environmental commitment to customers.

Industrial & Warehouses

Large roof areas on industrial units are ideal for high-capacity solar arrays. Warehouses with refrigeration or lighting loads benefit most.

Hospitality

Pubs, restaurants, and hotels use energy throughout the day. Solar and battery storage can cut costs while meeting customer demand for sustainable businesses.

Schools & Community

Schools, community centres, and village halls benefit from solar during daytime operating hours. Educational and environmental benefits for the local community.

What We Install

Commercial Solar PV

Rooftop or ground-mount solar arrays sized to your available space and consumption profile. From small business rooftops to large warehouse installations.

Battery Storage

Commercial-scale battery systems to store surplus generation for evening use, peak shaving, or load shifting. Reduces reliance on grid electricity at expensive times.

EV Charging

Workplace EV charging points powered by your solar array. Provide charging for staff and fleet vehicles while maximising self-consumption of solar energy.

Heat Pumps

Air source and ground source heat pumps for larger commercial buildings. Pair with solar and battery for a complete low-carbon energy solution.

How Savings Work for a Business

Daytime Usage

The more energy your business consumes during daylight hours, the greater the benefit from solar generation. Businesses with high daytime loads see the fastest returns.

Your Tariff

Your electricity tariff determines how much each kWh of solar saves you. Businesses on higher daytime rates benefit more from self-consumption. Export rates provide additional income.

Roof or Ground Space

Available space determines system size. Large warehouse roofs can accommodate significant arrays. Ground-mount systems are an option for farms with suitable land.

Export Income

Surplus electricity exported to the grid earns payments through the Smart Export Guarantee or power purchase agreements. This provides an additional revenue stream.

We visit your premises to assess roof or ground space, structural suitability, and your energy consumption patterns. No cost, no obligation.

2. System Design

We design a solar, battery, and EV charging system tailored to your building and usage profile. You receive a detailed proposal with expected generation and savings.

3. Installation Through MCS-Certified Partners

We install through MCS-certified partners who handle all installation, SPEN grid notification, and electrical compliance. Minimal disruption to your operations.

4. Aftercare & Monitoring

After installation, you receive monitoring tools to track generation and savings. Our team is available for any follow-up questions or maintenance needs.

Commercial Solar FAQ

Is solar suitable for farm buildings?

Yes. Farm barn roofs, outbuildings, and ground-mount arrays are excellent for solar. Farms with high daytime energy use — dairy equipment, grain drying, cold storage — see the greatest benefit. A site survey determines the best configuration for your buildings and land.

How much can my business save with solar?

Savings depend on your daytime energy consumption, electricity tariff, available roof or ground space, and how much surplus you export. A no-obligation site survey assesses your premises and provides a tailored proposal with expected generation. We do not quote savings without surveying first.

Can I add EV charging to a commercial solar system?

Yes. Workplace EV charging integrates with your solar array so vehicles charge using on-site generation. This reduces fuel costs for fleet vehicles and provides charging for staff and visitors. Charging points can be added during installation or retrofitted later.

What finance options are available for businesses?

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Larger commercial installations may have different finance arrangements. We discuss options during your no-obligation site survey based on your system size and budget.

Do you handle SPEN grid connection for commercial systems?

Yes. Commercial systems over 3.68kW per phase require a G99 application to SPEN. Our MCS-certified partners handle all paperwork and grid notification. The process typically takes 30 to 45 days. You do not contact SPEN yourself.
