Does it suit your site?
What matters most is when you use power. Solar makes it in daylight; a battery moves some of it into the evening. Your meter data shows which you need.
Real roofs
Two clubs, each designed around how the building actually uses power, not just to fill the roof, with batteries to carry the day's solar into the evening.
59%self-sufficient, averaged across the year on the club's own metering.
36.5% to 55.5%self-sufficient, without the battery and then with it, from about 29,200kWh of solar a year. Design estimate
Start to finish
Bigger systems need more care at the start: the right data, a proper design and the network operator's approval.
Send a year of bills or, better, your half-hourly meter data. It shows when the site uses power, which decides the size of the system and whether a battery pays.
We look at the roofs, the supply and the distribution boards, then design the layout and strings around them, with a performance estimate for the site.
Most commercial systems need G99 approval from the network operator before they're connected. We apply as soon as the design is agreed, because it can take a while.
Scaffold, panels, inverter and battery, tested to BS 7671 and commissioned, with monitoring set up so you can see what the roof makes.
Roofs and kit
Hooks screwed into the rafters and passed under the tiles, rails across, and mesh round the array so birds can't nest underneath.
Panels on angled frames, tilted to catch more of the day and spaced so one row doesn't shade the next.
Hybrid inverters sized to the array and the supply, three-phase where the site has it, with battery storage that can grow as the site's usage does.
Also: ground-mounted arrays for farms and sites with spare land, workplace EV chargers for staff and fleet vans, fitted alongside the solar, and inspections and repairs for systems already on your roof.
Fair questions
Usually not for panels on the roof of a commercial or farm building. Listed buildings and some conservation areas do need it, and we check before you commit.
Yes. Ground-mounted arrays suit farms and sites with spare land, or a roof that's too weak or shaded. They can need planning permission, which we check before you commit.
It depends on the network operator and the size of the system, from a few weeks to a few months on busier parts of the network. We apply as soon as the design is agreed.
Usually, through capital allowances. Your accountant will confirm what applies to your business.
If a lot of your power is used after dark, often yes: clubs, pubs and farms with evening loads. If you mostly use power in the day, panels alone usually make more sense. Your meter data shows which.
Yes. Most commercial sites have one, and both clubs above run on 30kW three-phase hybrid inverters.
Yes. Smart Export Guarantee tariffs are open to businesses as well as homes, through an energy supplier.
Yes, workplace chargers fitted alongside the solar, so daytime charging can run on the roof's power.
Yes: Wells, Glastonbury, Frome, Bridgwater, Yeovil, Taunton and Bath. The same team throughout.
Commercial and farm
A few details and we'll arrange a visit. Commercial systems are priced after we've seen the site and your usage, in writing.
