If your business uses most of its electricity in daylight hours, rooftop solar can cut what you buy from the grid. Pentland Renewables surveys the building, designs the system around your load and gives you a fixed written quote.
Offices, workshops, industrial units, retail, schools and farm buildings with a sound roof and a daytime electricity demand. Farms are also on farm solar, and the wider commercial scope is on commercial solar. The project steps are written up in commercial rooftop solar from survey to switch-on.
1. Initial review: your electricity bills or half-hourly data, and roof details.
2. Site survey: roof structure and condition, access, shading and the electrical supply.
3. Design and quote: system size matched to your load, with a fixed written quote.
4. Grid application: larger systems need SP Energy Networks approval (G99) before connection. Timescales vary.
5. Permissions: landlord consent if you lease, plus planning or building checks where needed.
6. Installation and handover.
The 0% VAT rate on solar applies to homes. For business installations, ask your accountant how VAT and capital allowances apply to you.
If you lease the building, usually yes. We can provide the design details your landlord will ask for.
It varies with system size and the local network. For larger systems, plan for weeks or longer.
The 0% rate is for homes. Ask your accountant about VAT and allowances for your business.
