Frequently Asked Solar Questions


We specialise in the Industrial and Commercial (I&C) market, primarily working with customers who consume at least 400,000 kWh of electricity annually. Quality is our driving force; whether you are a multi-site corporation or a single-unit business, we can help reduce your energy bills.


Modern solar technology requires daylight, not just direct sunlight. We have successfully implemented projects throughout the UK, including the North of Scotland, because current panels are highly efficient even on overcast days.


We only use top-tier manufacturers like SolarEdge for high-quality, safe inverters. If you use us via a Solar PPA, we fund the project ourselves, so it is in our best interest to use the most efficient tech available.


Roof-mounted projects usually fall under permitted development. Ground-mounted projects require full planning permission. We manage the entire application process for you.


We manage structural roof surveys for roof mounts, and environmental or “glint and glare” assessments for ground mounts or sites near airports/roads.


Yes. Even for 100% on-site use, a grid connection is required. We handle the DNO application process and manage any necessary infrastructure upgrade discussions.


The system prioritises solar power first. If production is low (e.g., winter evenings), it switches to grid power automatically with no interruption to your business.


Solar generates 100% renewable energy on-site. We provide detailed reports to help you accurately track and report Scope 2 carbon reductions for ESG goals.


We evaluate roof orientation, shading, and structural integrity. To start, we simply need your energy bills and a basic site layout.


For self-funded projects, payback is typically 5-7 years. If we fund it via a PPA, you get immediate savings on electricity prices with zero upfront capital investment.


You get a real-time production portal. If we fund the project, we handle all maintenance. If you fund it, we offer ongoing O&M service packages.


PPA projects are 100% managed by us. Self-funded projects carry manufacturer warranties typically ranging from 10 to 25 years on panels and inverters.


While you should notify your provider, solar installations generally do not have a significant impact on commercial insurance premiums.


We work with tenants and landlords alike. Solar improves EPC ratings, making it a “win-win.” We can even liaise with your landlord directly to facilitate the legal side.
