Commercial solar panel and battery storage systems for factories, warehouses, offices, retail units and commercial premises across East Lancashire.
From smaller roof-mounted systems to large commercial solar arrays, we assess your energy usage, design the system properly and complete the installation, grid connection and commissioning.
The panels are the easy part.
The important bit is designing a system that matches how your business actually uses electricity.
An oversized system could generate more power than you can use or export. An undersized system might barely touch your electricity bill. Add the wrong battery capacity and you could end up paying for storage that never gets properly used.
A proper commercial solar installation starts with your electricity consumption data. We look at when your business uses power, how much suitable roof or ground space is available, the condition of the existing electrical installation and what your local electricity network will allow you to connect.
From there, we can design a solar and battery storage system around your building, your operating hours and your long-term plans.
No inflated savings figures. No panels squeezed onto every available inch of roof. Just a properly designed system with clear generation, storage and payback projections.
We review your electricity bills, half-hourly usage data where available and operating patterns to understand when and how your business uses power.
Assessment of available roof or ground space, orientation, shading, access, cable routes and the condition of the existing electrical infrastructure.
A site-specific proposal showing recommended solar capacity, battery storage options, expected generation and how much energy could be used on site.
We handle the necessary application and communication with the Distribution Network Operator where approval is needed for the proposed generation or export capacity.
Panels, inverters, battery storage, containment, isolators, protection equipment and monitoring systems installed and integrated with your existing electrical supply.
The complete system is tested, commissioned and documented, with monitoring configured so you can see how much energy is being generated, stored and used.
We inspect the building, roof or proposed ground-mounted location, electrical intake, distribution equipment and potential cable routes. We also review your electricity usage and business operating hours.
We calculate an appropriate system size and provide options for solar-only or solar with battery storage. Your proposal will include expected generation, estimated on-site usage and projected financial savings.
Where required, we arrange structural assessments and submit the relevant information to the Distribution Network Operator. Any necessary distribution board or supply upgrades will also be identified.
Mounting equipment, solar panels, inverters, battery storage, cabling and electrical protection are installed. Work is planned to minimise disruption to your normal business operations.
The system is fully tested and commissioned. Certification and system documentation are provided, monitoring is configured and your team is shown how to view performance.
Site-specific
Your system is sized around your actual electricity usage, rather than simply filling the available roof space.
Optional
Battery storage can retain surplus solar energy for use later in the day, during peak periods or when solar generation is lower.
24/7
Online monitoring allows you to track generation, consumption, battery charge and overall system performance.
Clearly modelled
Your proposal will show the system cost, expected generation, estimated savings and projected return before you make a decision.
It depends on your energy usage, available installation space, electricity tariff and how much of the generated power you can use on site.
Businesses that use significant electricity during daylight hours are often particularly well suited to commercial solar. We provide projected generation and savings figures as part of the proposal.
Not always.
A battery can be valuable when your solar panels generate more electricity than the business is using at that moment. The surplus energy can be stored and used later instead of being exported.
We assess whether a battery is likely to provide enough additional value to justify the cost.
In many cases, yes.
Factories and warehouses often have large roof areas that can be suitable for solar panels. The roof condition, construction, orientation, shading and structural capacity will need to be assessed before installation.
Your building remains connected to the grid. When the solar panels and battery cannot meet the full demand, the remaining electricity is automatically imported from your normal supplier.
Yes.
Commercial solar, battery storage and EV charging can be designed as one integrated system. Solar generation can help supply workplace or fleet chargers, while battery storage and load management can help control demand on the building’s electrical supply.
Some commercial solar and battery systems require approval from the local Distribution Network Operator before they can be connected.
We identify what is required and handle the application and liaison as part of the project.
Arrange a site survey and find out what solar panels and battery storage could realistically do for your business.
You’ll receive a clear system recommendation, projected generation figures and estimated savings. No inflated promises and no pressure if the figures do not stack up.
