Who is commercial solar for?
We arrange solar and battery installations for a wide range of commercial and agricultural properties across Scotland. If you have a roof or land and pay electricity bills during the day, a solar system could reduce your reliance on grid power.
Farms & rural estates
Barn roofs, outbuildings and ground-mount arrays for agricultural operations looking to reduce daytime electricity costs.
Businesses & offices
Commercial rooftop solar for businesses of all sizes, from small units to multi-building premises.
Warehouses & industrial
Large roof areas on warehouses and industrial units are ideal for sizable solar arrays with high generation potential.
Public & community
Schools, community buildings and public sector properties can benefit from solar to reduce running costs.
What can we install for your business?
Our MCS-certified partners install a range of renewable technologies for commercial properties. These can be combined into a single coordinated system tailored to your building and usage.
Commercial solar PV
Rooftop or ground-mount panel arrays sized to your available space and daytime usage.
Battery storage
Store surplus generation for use outside daylight hours, reducing grid dependency.
EV charging
Charge points for fleet vehicles, staff and visitors, integrated with your solar system.
Heat pumps
Air-source or ground-source heat pumps for larger buildings, coordinated with your energy setup.
What affects the cost and value for a business?
The cost of a commercial solar and battery system depends on factors specific to your property and how you use electricity. Rather than quoting a fixed price, we explain what drives the cost so you understand your quote. An accurate price requires a no-obligation site survey.
System size
The total kWp of your array is the biggest cost factor. A larger system needs more panels, mounting and labour, but generates more electricity. The right size depends on your roof or ground area and your daytime consumption.
Roof or ground mount
Rooftop installations on existing buildings are typically the most straightforward. Ground-mount arrays need additional mounting structures and land, which affects the cost. The survey assesses which option suits your property.
Daytime usage
The more of your solar generation you use on-site during the day, the more value you get from the system. A business that operates primarily during daylight hours benefits most from solar without needing large battery storage.
Tariff and export
Your electricity tariff and any export arrangements affect the overall value of a solar system. Surplus electricity exported to the grid may attract payments depending on your agreement. The survey includes a discussion of your tariff and export options.
0% VAT on solar panels and batteries until 31 March 2027. Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We install through MCS-certified partners.
How does the commercial process work?
1. Enquire
Fill in the business enquiry form on this page or call us. Tell us your business name, property type and approximate annual electricity spend.
2. No-obligation site survey
We arrange a site survey at your premises. The surveyor assesses your roof or land, orientation, shading, electrical setup and usage patterns, then recommends a system.
3. Installation
If you proceed, installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partners. Mounting, panels, inverter, battery and electrical connection are all included.
4. Aftercare
After commissioning you receive documentation and support. Manufacturer warranties apply to equipment, and our partner covers installation workmanship.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install solar on farm buildings?
Yes. We arrange no-obligation site surveys for farms, rural estates and agricultural buildings across Scotland. Whether you have a large barn roof, a grain store or open land suitable for ground-mount panels, our MCS-certified partners can design and install a system sized to your daytime electricity usage and export opportunities.
What size commercial solar system do I need?
The right size depends on your roof or ground area, your daytime electricity consumption, and whether you want to export surplus to the grid. A site survey assesses your usage, roof orientation and available space, then recommends a system size in kWp matched to your business needs — with no obligation to proceed.
Can I add battery storage to a commercial solar system?
Yes. Battery storage lets your business use solar electricity generated during the day into the evening or overnight, reducing reliance on grid power. The right battery capacity depends on your usage pattern and how much surplus your array generates. This is assessed during the site survey alongside the panel system.
How does the commercial installation process work?
It starts with a no-obligation site survey. We assess your property, usage and goals, then provide a written quote. If you proceed, installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partners, with scaffolding, mounting, electrical connection and commissioning all included. Aftercare and support are provided once the system is live.
Do you install EV charging and heat pumps for businesses?
Yes. Alongside solar PV and battery storage, we arrange installation of EV charging points and heat pumps for larger commercial buildings. These can be combined with a solar and battery system for a coordinated approach to reducing your business energy costs. Arrange a site survey to discuss your requirements.
