FAQs
Commercial Solar Questions
How long does a commercial solar installation take?
A typical commercial rooftop installation (50–500kW) takes 1–3 weeks on site. Larger systems (1MW+) can take 4–8 weeks. We minimise business disruption by working in phases and outside operating hours where needed.
What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?
A PPA is an arrangement where an asset manager funds and maintains your solar installation, then sells the generated energy to you at a reduced rate — typically 15–20% below grid price. You get lower energy bills with zero upfront cost or maintenance responsibility.
What is the typical ROI for commercial solar?
Most commercial solar systems achieve ROI in 3–7 years. Factors include system size, energy consumption profile, grid electricity price and whether you use a PPA or capital purchase. Our feasibility study gives you an exact figure for your site.
Do solar panels need planning permission?
Most commercial rooftop solar falls under permitted development rights. Ground-mount solar farms and listed buildings typically require full planning permission. We handle all planning applications as part of our service.
