Commercial Solar, Battery, EV & Heat Pump Systems
Commercial Solar PV
Rooftop and ground-mounted solar panel systems sized to your daytime electricity load. From 10kW up to 50kW+ for larger agricultural and commercial premises.
Battery Storage
Commercial-scale battery systems that store surplus solar generation for use outside working hours, reducing peak-time grid purchases.
EV Charging
Workplace and fleet EV charging points integrated with your solar system so vehicles charge from your own generation.
Heat Pumps
Air source and ground source heat pumps for larger buildings, replacing oil or LPG heating in off-mains-gas commercial properties.
What Determines Your Commercial Solar Savings
Daytime usage
The more electricity your business uses during daylight hours, the greater the benefit from solar generation. Businesses with high daytime loads see the strongest returns.
Electricity tariff
Your current unit rate and standing charge determine how much each kilowatt-hour of solar generation offsets. Higher tariffs mean faster payback.
Roof or ground space
Available area dictates how many panels can be installed. Large farm roofs and open ground offer excellent potential for bigger systems.
Export income
Surplus electricity exported to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee earns additional revenue, improving the overall return on investment.
We do not quote savings figures without surveying your premises. A site survey provides an accurate assessment based on your actual consumption and property.
From Survey to Switch-On for Your Business

We visit your premises to assess roof structure, orientation, energy consumption and load profile. No obligation, no deposit.

We design a system matched to your usage patterns, specifying panel count, inverter, battery and DNO requirements.
Installation
Our MCS-certified installer partners complete the installation, typically in 2–4 days for commercial systems.
Aftercare
MCS certification, SEG registration and monitoring app setup. Our aftercare team is available on 0141 230 0198.
Finance
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss finance options during your site survey so you understand the monthly figures before deciding.
Commercial Solar Questions Answered
Do you install solar panels on farm buildings in Dumfries & Galloway?
Yes. We arrange solar PV quotes for farm roofs, steading conversions, and ground-mounted systems across all DG postcodes. Our MCS-certified installer partners are experienced with agricultural buildings, including listed steadings and modern portal-frame sheds. A site survey confirms structural suitability.
Can I add battery storage and EV charging to a commercial solar system?
Yes. Battery storage lets you use surplus solar generation outside working hours, and EV charging can be integrated so your vehicles charge from solar by day. Both qualify for 0% VAT until March 2027. Your system design includes load matching to maximise self-consumption across your operating schedule.
How much can a business save with commercial solar in D&G?
Savings depend on your daytime electricity usage, tariff, available roof or ground space, and how much surplus you export under the Smart Export Guarantee. A site survey assesses these factors and provides a system sized to your consumption profile. We do not quote savings figures without surveying your premises first.
Is finance available for commercial solar installations?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss finance options during your site survey so you understand the monthly figures before deciding. Larger commercial systems may require a bespoke finance arrangement, which we can explore with you.
How long does a commercial solar installation take?
A typical commercial installation takes 2–4 days on site, depending on system size and roof complexity. The full process from survey to switch-on usually takes 4–6 weeks, including SP Distribution DNO approval for larger systems requiring G99 notification. Your surveyor provides a detailed timeline.
