Commercial solar, designed around how your site uses power.

Solar PV and 3-phase battery storage for SMEs and large organisations, from the first conversation through design and installation, then looked after once it is running.

Designed around your site, not a standard package.

Every commercial system starts with your building and the way it uses electricity. The right system depends on how much roof you have, when your site uses power and what you want solar to do for the business.

Every system is designed around your site and the way it uses power.

Your roofSpace, direction and shade
How much usable roof there is, which way it faces and what shades it. We find the best position for the panels so they catch as much light as possible.
Your usageWhen your site uses power
Panels generate in daylight, so a site that uses most of its electricity during the working day uses more of what it generates. Storage helps where demand comes later.
Your supplyBuilt for three-phase sites
Many commercial premises have a three-phase supply. 3-phase battery storage can power large appliances and machinery and meet high demand.

Solar, storage and charging on one site.

Panels on the roof, 3-phase batteries to keep what they generate, and charging for the vehicles that come and go. Each can be added on its own or planned together.

From first conversation to a working system.

One team takes your project from consultation through design and installation, then looks after it once it is running.

Who we work with

SMEs and large organisations in every sector, from our branches in Plymouth and Salisbury.

How it works

  1. 1

    Consultation

    We talk through your site, your electricity use and what you want from solar.

  2. 2

    Design

    A system designed around your roof and the way your site uses power.

  3. 3

    Installation

    Installed by our engineers, using the latest A-rated products from leading manufacturers.

  4. 4

    Maintenance

    Routine maintenance and asset management once the system is running.

Asset management

Asset management and maintenance, planned around your site.

We monitor the performance and operation of each part of the system and arrange the maintenance and repairs it needs. Every plan is tailored to the client.

  • Performance monitoring

    Monitoring the performance and operation of each asset, so problems can be picked up.

  • Preventative maintenance

    A structured schedule of routine and preventative maintenance, which aims to reduce the risk of breakdowns.

  • Repairs

    Emergency repairs carried out when they are needed.

  • Tailored plans

    A plan built around your site and your systems.

Asset management can be planned in from the start of your project.

Buy the system, or buy the power.

Commercial solar can be bought outright, or supplied under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

How commercial solar finance works
  1. 01

    Outright purchase

    Your business pays for the system, owns it and uses the electricity it generates.

  2. 02

    Power purchase agreement

    Your business buys the electricity the system generates, under a contract.

Common questions

  • Electricity your site generates and uses itself is electricity you do not buy from the grid. How much difference that makes depends on your roof, your usage and when your site uses power, which is why every system is designed around your site.

  • Yes. Panels generate electricity whenever there is daylight, including on rainy and cloudy days, though they produce less than on a bright one.

  • Yes. 3-phase battery storage lets your site use more of what the roof generates, and we install charging for workplaces and car parks.

  • Very little day to day, but panels benefit from a professional service and clean once or twice a year. Our asset management service covers monitoring, maintenance and repairs.

  • You can buy the system outright or use a power purchase agreement. Our commercial solar finance page explains both in general terms.

  • Larger systems usually need the local network operator’s approval before they connect. Whether that applies depends on the size of the system and your supply.
