Air conditioning on summer afternoons
How we solve it
Cooling load climbs with the sun, and so does solar output. We model your HVAC demand so the system offsets one of your biggest seasonal costs.
Solar panels for officesthat work the same hours you do
Solar panels for offices generate power in the hours your team uses it, from air conditioning and IT to lighting and EV charging in the car park.

When an office uses its power
Office demand rises as people arrive, holds through the working day and falls away by early evening. Few building types match the solar curve so closely.
- Working hours and daylight overlap almost exactly, so a high share of output powers the building directly.
- Evenings and weekends are quiet. We size the array to weekday demand so little is exported for less.
- Staff cars parked all day are ideal for soaking up surplus solar through workplace EV charging.

Office energy challenges, and how we solve them
Offices and business parks have predictable loads, which makes them easier to plan for. Here’s where the cost sits and how we cut it.

IT, servers and lighting all day
How we solve it
These steady daytime loads use solar as it’s generated. The grid tops up the rest automatically, with no change for the people in the building.
03The challenge
Tenants, landlords and shared sites
How we solve it
We design building by building or across a whole park, and give landlords the detail they need. Your solicitor and accountant advise on sharing costs.
04The challenge
ESG reporting and EPC ratings
How we solve it
On-site generation can help improve an EPC rating, and monitoring gives clear generation and carbon figures for reports and tenders.

Office solar questions answered
Straight answers to the questions we’re asked most. Pick a question to read the answer.
Offices are a strong fit because demand falls in daylight hours, so more of the output is used on site. As a commercial example, Pink Group Holdings’ 43.12 kWp system in Gorleston, Norfolk has a projected 25-year saving of +£174,401 and projected payback of around three years. Every building differs, so we’ll model yours.
It depends on roof size and type, system size, and whether you add a battery or carports. Your tailored proposal shows the cost next to projected savings and payback. You can buy outright or finance the system, with repayments that can be covered by the savings.
Yes. Flat roofs are common on offices and suit low-profile mounting systems. We check the structure, membrane condition and wind exposure, and choose a fixing method that protects the roof.
Often, yes, with your landlord’s consent. We supply the technical and structural detail a landlord will want and plan the system around how long you expect to stay so the business case still stacks up.
Landlords can fit solar to individual buildings or plan it across the whole park, and tenants can install with consent. We’ll design building by building or as a site-wide programme. Your solicitor and accountant should advise on how costs and benefits are shared.
On-site generation can help improve an EPC rating and gives you measurable carbon savings to report. Our monitoring provides the generation figures you need for sustainability reports and tenders.
Most rooftop systems on commercial buildings fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and solar carports may need planning. We check this early and handle any application and the DNO grid application.
Panels are typically warranted for around 25 years. Our operations and maintenance service and remote monitoring spot issues early, for offices in Norfolk, Suffolk and across the UK.

How much do solar panels for offices cost?
It depends on roof size and type, system size, and whether you add a battery or carports. Your tailored proposal shows the cost next to projected savings and payback. You can buy outright or finance the system, with repayments that can be covered by the savings.
Can solar go on a flat office roof?
Yes. Flat roofs are common on offices and suit low-profile mounting systems. We check the structure, membrane condition and wind exposure, and choose a fixing method that protects the roof.
We rent our office. Can we still have solar?
Often, yes, with your landlord’s consent. We supply the technical and structural detail a landlord will want and plan the system around how long you expect to stay so the business case still stacks up.
How does solar work on a multi-tenant business park?
Landlords can fit solar to individual buildings or plan it across the whole park, and tenants can install with consent. We’ll design building by building or as a site-wide programme. Your solicitor and accountant should advise on how costs and benefits are shared.
Will solar help our EPC rating and ESG reporting?
On-site generation can help improve an EPC rating and gives you measurable carbon savings to report. Our monitoring provides the generation figures you need for sustainability reports and tenders.
Do we need planning permission?
Most rooftop systems on commercial buildings fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and solar carports may need planning. We check this early and handle any application and the DNO grid application.
Who looks after the system once it’s installed?
Panels are typically warranted for around 25 years. Our operations and maintenance service and remote monitoring spot issues early, for offices in Norfolk, Suffolk and across the UK.
