Commercial Solar Panel Installation
Learn how businesses throughout the UK are saving hundreds of thousands of pounds on their energy bills with commercial solar systems and how easy it is for you to do the same.
CEO - Moss Electrical
There was such little disruption that we were quite frankly surprised when the team turned around and said that they were all done.

Why businesses throughout the UK are installing solar
Huge savings on high energy costs
Energy costs are set to rise by 20-30% by 2030. Hedging against this near certainty will lead to large cost deductions.
Increasing your energy security
2021 and 2022 showed how fragile the energy landscape is. Solar is a great hedge against volatility in energy markets.
Reducing carbon footprint by thousands of kilograms
With Net Zero targets putting many businesses under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, solar serves as a brilliant vehicle to do so.
Immediate savings potential with PPA
With Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), businesses can reduce costs in their first year with £0 upfront payment.
How much can you save with commercial solar?
The cost of Solar panels has reduced significantly in recent years. The technology has also increased in effectiveness. With panels now set to perform at 95% efficiency for up to 25 years, our prospects are seeing no brainer forecasts on their installation.
4 year average ROI
Based on purchasing solar in full, our average enquiry will breakeven within 4 years.
Reduce reliance on the grid
2021 and 2022 exposed many businesses to their reliance on the grid and vulnerability to price changes.
ThermoFisher cut energy costs by 15% without any upfront or ongoing costs
Custodian Capital are one of our repeat clients and partners. By installing an 830 kW solar system on one of their properties, they were able to pass on a 15% reduction in energy costs to ThermoFisher.
This is under a common arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) whereby an asset manager will fund and maintain an installation under an agreement to sell the energy at a reduced rate to the property user.

What type of business benefits the most from commercial solar?
Businesses with specific characteristics have the most to gain from a commercial solar installation.
The greater your energy usage and costs, typically, the more you will benefit from a commercial solar installation.
Additionally, your business’s specific ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals play a significant role in this decision.
Our process, from start to finish

Consulting and quoting
Our approach to consulting and quoting for commercial solar systems is meticulous and tailored to our clients needs. We carefully assess each client's energy requirements, property layout, and regulatory parameters to craft bespoke solutions.
Our quotations provide transparent cost breakdowns, covering equipment, installation, and maintenance, along with potential returns on investment.
By customising our strategies to meet each client's specific objectives, we help UK businesses adopt sustainable energy solutions efficiently and cost-effectively.
DNO / Grid Application
We handle the DNO/Grid application process to ensure that your solar installation complies with all local regulations and safely connects to the grid.
Our team handles the preparation and submission of all required documentation, communicates with the DNO on your behalf, and keeps you updated throughout the process.
This crucial step ensures a seamless and compliant transition to solar power.
Structural and site analysis
We thoroughly examine a property’s infrastructure to ensure it can accommodate solar panels.
This included assessing the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the buildings or land. All clients receive clear communication about our findings and any necessary adjustments needed to confidently move forward with the project.
Our goal is to ensure that the structural analysis provides a solid foundation for a successful and durable solar installation.
System design
Planning and expertise are crucial to creating a system tailored to your business’s needs.
We collaborate closely with clients to develop custom designs that optimise energy generation and efficiency while complying with regulatory requirements.
This stage is vital for laying the foundation of the solar project, and our experienced team is dedicated to providing the support and expertise needed for a successful outcome.
Procurement
Our team sources high-quality solar equipment and materials, prioritising both cost-effectiveness and reliability.
