Rather than relying on the grid for your energy, the only thing you need to rely on when you go solar is the sun. Our solar panels are made out of semi-conducting materials, which means they are able to harness sunlight as it makes contact – creating an electrical current and powering your site directly.

With a south-facing roof, your solar panels will produce the greatest amount of energy overall. Although East or West-facing roofs also work very well and will produce energy for a large portion of the day. North-facing roofs are the most unfavourable option for solar panels, since they receive very little direct sunlight.

Solar panels will still generate electricity during cloudy weather, rain or any other period of indirect sunlight, just not as efficiently. Solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight and will generate less electricity during cloudy conditions.

Yes! You’ll be able to see how your panels are performing in real time on our digital platform, along with how much energy is being generated, and how much money and carbon you’re saving.

Our reporting software shows you precisely how much CO2e you are saving per year.

Businesses can typically recoup their solar panel investment in 3-5 years.

Yes, but the charge will be deducted from your bill once the installation is completed.

This will depend on the size of the site. Your BDM will be able to give you an estimation once the site survey is completed.

Yes, although you will need the landlords’ consent to install the solar panels – we’ve worked with landlords before and our proposals ensure solar is an attractive offer for both tenants and landlords.

Most sites don’t need planning permission for solar panels as it can be installed under Permitted Development rights.

Most roof types are suitable for solar panels. However solar panels aren’t suitable if the roof is in a bad condition, and isn’t suitable for thatched roofs, timber shingles, asbestos sheets, or roofs with limited space.

We carry out engineering studies free of charge to make sure we propose the right kind of solar for your roof and highlight any roof improvements that might be needed before the solar goes on.

As a rule of thumb, you would need approx. 6m2 per 1 kW of PV. As an example, if you had a 1000m2 area of roof this would equate to a system of 166kWp (1000/6 = 166)

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are extremely robust. We only install ‘Tier 1’ solar modules with industry leading 25-year warranties. Our inverters have a standard 5-year warranty that can be extended to 20 years. All our work comes with a 2-year workmanship guarantee.

We can install batteries. We design our business solar installs to consume as much of the solar generation onsite as most commercial sites drive value from solar only. There will be sites where batteries are beneficial, which will be incorporated in the consultation at design stage. All installs allow batteries to be fitted at a later date should it become economical to do so.

Solar panels are very low maintenance. We offer an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract which enables us to remotely monitor the array, allowing our technicians to adjust parameters for maximum performance. If the system is underperforming, we can act swiftly, eliminating the risk of lengthy downtime – this is included in our package!

There is no evidence that the fire risks associated with solar energy are any greater than those for any other electrical equipment. However, it is very important to ensure that PV systems are correctly designed, competently installed and regularly maintained by companies certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
