What you get

Businesses are where solar makes the most sense

A home exports most of its solar because nobody is in. A warehouse in Poole, a workshop in Ferndown or an office in Eastleigh uses electricity exactly when the roof is generating. That one fact is why a commercial array pays back in around five years while a domestic one takes ten.

We size the system from your bill and your half-hourly data, manages the network application and the installation, and hands over a monitoring dashboard your finance team can read. The engineers on the roof are MCS-certified.

What could solar actually save you?

Three taps, no details asked. Figures for Dorset, Hampshire and the south of England, which gets more sun than almost anywhere in Britain.

Who is it for?

£1,500
£500£5,000+

Businesses use electricity in daylight, when the panels generate. More of the solar cuts the bill, so payback is short.

Straight answers

Commercial solar questions from Dorset and Hampshire

Not here? The number at the top reaches a person who can answer it.

Why is commercial payback so much shorter than domestic?
Because a business uses most of its electricity in daylight, when the panels are generating. Around 80% of the solar goes straight into cutting the bill rather than being exported for 8p. Add the lower cost per kW of a larger array and a five-year payback is normal, not a sales claim.
How big a system do we need?
It is sized from your bill, not from a package. A unit paying £1,500 a month uses roughly 64,000 kWh a year; covering about half of that from the roof needs around a 40 kW array. The calculator on this page gives you the figure for your bill in ten seconds.
Does our roof need to be strong enough?
Most steel-framed units and modern flat roofs carry a solar array without issue, but it is checked, not assumed. The survey includes a structural look at the roof and, where needed, a structural engineer’s sign-off before the quote.
What about the grid connection?
Systems over 3.68 kW per phase need permission from the network operator (SSEN in most of Dorset and Hampshire) before connection. We submit the application as part of the job; it usually takes four to eight weeks.
Is there a grant or tax relief for businesses?
There is no direct grant, but solar qualifies for capital allowances: the Annual Investment Allowance gives 100% relief on up to £1 million a year, or companies can use the 50% first-year allowance. Workplace EV chargers get 75% up to £500 per socket under the Workplace Charging Scheme until March 2027. Your accountant confirms the treatment; we provide the paperwork they need.
Can we add batteries or EV chargers for staff?
Yes. Commercial battery storage shifts cheap or solar electricity into the expensive hours, and workplace EV chargers can be claimed under the Workplace Charging Scheme. Both are designed in from the start if you want them.
