Solar and on-site generation
Generating your own power can cut costs and carbon, but only if it suits your premises and your usage. We'll give you an honest view before you spend anything.
Is solar right for your business?
Commercial solar works best where there's suitable roof or ground space and daytime energy use to match what the panels produce. We look at your usage pattern, your premises and your current energy costs to judge whether the numbers stack up.
How it fits with your energy contract
Generating your own power changes how much you need to buy, and when. We make sure your supply contract takes this into account, so you're not paying for energy you no longer need.
What happens next
If solar makes sense, we'll help you understand the options and costs. If it doesn't, we'll tell you, and focus on getting you the best supply contract instead.
Solar & on-site generation FAQs
How long does commercial solar take to pay back?
It varies a lot with your usage, premises and energy prices, which is why we assess each case individually rather than quoting a typical figure.
Do I need to own my building?
Not necessarily, but you'll need the landlord's agreement, and a longer lease makes the investment easier to justify.
Can I still buy energy through you if I install solar?
Yes. Most businesses with solar still need a supply contract for the rest of their usage, and we'll make sure it's set up to suit.
