Commercial solar PV
Make your own electricity on your own roof
Most commercial buildings use the bulk of their electricity during the day, which is exactly when solar panels generate. Solar PV can cut the power you buy from the grid and lower your carbon footprint, and it works well alongside a heat pump.
- Roof-mounted solar PV for commercial buildings
- Designed around your daytime energy use
- Planned alongside heat pumps and heating upgrades
Who it suits
Buildings that suit solar PV
The best fit is a building with a good-sized roof and plenty of daytime electricity use.
Offices
Lighting, IT and air handling running through the working day.
Factories and warehouses
Large roofs with room for bigger systems.
Public buildings
A visible step towards carbon targets.
Kitchens and hospitality
Refrigeration and equipment running all day.
Solar and heat pumps
Run your heat pump on your own electricity
A heat pump runs on electricity, so pairing it with solar PV means some of that power comes from your own roof. We look at your heating and your electricity use together, so the two systems fit one plan instead of being sized separately.
How it works
From survey to switch-on
Every roof and every building is different, so we start with a survey.
01
Survey
We look at the roof, its direction, shading and condition, and how you use power.
02
Design
A system sized to your building, with an estimate of what it should generate.
03
Install
Planned around your opening hours or the school calendar.
04
Switch on
Tested, commissioned and handed over with the paperwork.

Questions about commercial solar

Most flat and pitched commercial roofs can take solar panels. We look at the direction of the roof, any shading, its condition and its structure before we recommend a system.
It depends on the size of the system, the direction and angle of the roof and any shading. We give you an estimate as part of our proposal.
Partly. Solar generates most during the day, and any power your heat pump uses while the panels are generating comes from your own roof. We can plan solar and heat pumps together.
Yes, but they generate less than in summer because the days are shorter and the sun is lower. They still produce electricity on bright winter days.
Many rooftop systems can go ahead without a full planning application, but it depends on the building and where it is, for example listed buildings or conservation areas. We check this as part of the survey.
Schools use most of their electricity during the day, which is when solar panels generate, so they are often a good fit. See our schools and colleges page.
Yes. We can plan solar PV alongside boiler, heat pump and plant room work as part of a wider energy plan.
Our main area is Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Chesterfield, Worksop, Mansfield and Nottingham. We also take on larger commercial projects further afield, such as our school jobs in Wrexham.
