Common questions about commercial rooftop solar installation

Solar panels are too expensive for my business

Commercial solar typically pays for itself in 4-7 years, then generates free electricity for 25+ years. Government incentives and the Smart Export Guarantee mean you earn money on surplus power.

My roof might not be suitable

Modern solar works on almost any commercial roof. Flat, pitched, metal or membrane. A free site survey confirms suitability and the optimal panel layout for maximum generation.

The UK doesn't get enough sun

The UK gets more than enough solar radiation for commercial systems to perform well. Germany at similar latitudes has installed over 80GW. Your system generates power even on cloudy days.

We might move premises soon

Solar adds value to commercial property. Properties with solar sell faster and at a premium. If you lease, solar PPA arrangements let you benefit without owning the panels.
