Commercial rooftop solarand ground mounted solar
Commercial rooftop solar and ground mounted solar, designed around your roof, land and daytime demand. Installed end to end from Norfolk and Suffolk.
MCS certified installerYour roof or spare land can make the power your business uses every day. We design each system around your building, your demand and your grid connection, then install it end to end.
Built for your roof
Mounting matched to metal, flat, tiled or standing seam roofs, with the structure checked first.
Lower daytime bills
Solar used on site replaces grid electricity. Surplus can earn export income through the SEG.
One accredited team
MCS, NICEIC and TSI approved. We handle design, DNO application, install and aftercare.
How rooftop solar powers your site
Five parts work together to turn daylight into power your site can use. Here is what each one does, and what we check along the way.
Panels and mounting
Panels on your roof or a ground frame turn daylight into DC electricity. We lay them out around shading, orientation and pitch, with fixings matched to your roof or ground.
- Layout planned around shading and orientation
- Fixings matched to your roof or ground
- Panels usually warranted for around 25 years
Commercial rooftop solar for every roof and site
Most sites suit one of three approaches. We assess your roof and land, then recommend the one that gives the best return.
Option 1 of 3Tiled and pitched roofs
Common on offices, care homes and older buildings. Hooks fit beneath the tiles and panels sit on rails for a neat, low-profile finish. South, east and west facing slopes can all work well. We check rafters and roof condition before design.
- Best for
- Offices, care homes, schools
- Fixing
- Roof hooks under the tiles
- Planning
- Usually permitted development
Is rooftop solar right for your site?
Commercial rooftop solar works best where steady daytime demand meets a sound roof or spare land. Run through the list, then leave the detail to us.

Rooftop and ground solar questions answered
Straight answers to the questions we’re asked most. Pick a question to read the answer.
Most trapezoidal metal, flat, tiled and standing seam roofs can take solar. We check orientation, shading, structural capacity and roof condition during the site assessment. If a roof is near the end of its life, it is usually best to refurbish it before installation.
A ground mounted array suits sites with spare land, or roofs that are fragile, shaded or too small. Panels can be set at the ideal angle and are easy to reach for cleaning. Larger arrays often need planning permission, so we build that into the timeline.
Cost depends on system size, roof type, mounting method and any grid connection work. We price every project individually and show it in your proposal alongside projected savings and payback. You can buy outright or finance the system, with repayments that can be covered by the savings.
Most commercial rooftop systems fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and larger ground mounted arrays may need full planning permission. We check this early and manage the application where it is needed.
You can be paid for surplus electricity you export through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Capital allowances may also apply when you buy a system, so speak to your accountant about your position. We’ll model the numbers for your site.
Panels are usually warranted for around 25 years and keep generating beyond that with good care. Inverters and optimisers may need replacing during the system’s life. That is why we model a 25-year cash flow and offer ongoing maintenance.
Payback depends on your daytime demand, electricity tariff and system size. Our case studies show projected paybacks of around 3 to 5 years, such as Hengistfield in Kent at 4 to 5 years. We’ll model the figures for your own site.
We plan the install around your operations and agree access, working areas and any shutdowns in advance. Most work happens on the roof or in the field, so day-to-day activity usually carries on. The final connection needs only a short, planned switchover.
Is my roof suitable for commercial rooftop solar?
Most trapezoidal metal, flat, tiled and standing seam roofs can take solar. We check orientation, shading, structural capacity and roof condition during the site assessment. If a roof is near the end of its life, it is usually best to refurbish it before installation.
When does ground mounted solar make more sense than a roof?
A ground mounted array suits sites with spare land, or roofs that are fragile, shaded or too small. Panels can be set at the ideal angle and are easy to reach for cleaning. Larger arrays often need planning permission, so we build that into the timeline.
How much does commercial rooftop solar cost?
Cost depends on system size, roof type, mounting method and any grid connection work. We price every project individually and show it in your proposal alongside projected savings and payback. You can buy outright or finance the system, with repayments that can be covered by the savings.
Do I need planning permission for commercial solar?
Most commercial rooftop systems fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and larger ground mounted arrays may need full planning permission. We check this early and manage the application where it is needed.
Are there grants or incentives for business solar?
You can be paid for surplus electricity you export through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Capital allowances may also apply when you buy a system, so speak to your accountant about your position. We’ll model the numbers for your site.
How long do commercial solar panels last?
Panels are usually warranted for around 25 years and keep generating beyond that with good care. Inverters and optimisers may need replacing during the system’s life. That is why we model a 25-year cash flow and offer ongoing maintenance.
What payback can I expect from commercial rooftop solar?
Payback depends on your daytime demand, electricity tariff and system size. Our case studies show projected paybacks of around 3 to 5 years, such as Hengistfield in Kent at 4 to 5 years. We’ll model the figures for your own site.
Will installation disrupt my business?
We plan the install around your operations and agree access, working areas and any shutdowns in advance. Most work happens on the roof or in the field, so day-to-day activity usually carries on. The final connection needs only a short, planned switchover.
