Commercial Solar

It is sized to the load you run in daylight, not your total bill. We pull your interval data, map your demand against the sun, and size the array to maximise self-consumption, because exported power earns far less than power you use on site. The model is on the proposal so you can see the assumptions.

For a business with a solid daytime load it is often three to six years, but it depends on your tariff, your demand charges and how much you self-consume. We model it on your actual interval data and show the numbers, including the STC value, before you commit.

Yes. Larger systems need approval from the network for how much they can export, and sometimes an export limit or a dynamic controller. We handle the application and design to the conditions, so the system is compliant and you are not surprised by a knock-back after install.

Yes. We stage commercial works and cut over live sections out of hours or in isolated steps so the site keeps operating. The method statement and isolation plan are agreed with your site manager before we touch a live board.

Yes, and it often pairs well with commercial solar. We design load-managed (OCPP) charging that draws from your generation where it can, with billing and access control for staff or fleet, and we size it to what the supply and switchboard can actually carry.

Yes. Commercial arrays earn their payback only if they keep performing, so we offer scheduled cleaning, monitoring and health checks that catch a dead string or a soiled array before it costs you a quarter of generation. The inclusions are scoped to your site.

It can, but only if the system is designed for it. Many commercial bills are driven as much by peak-demand charges as by total usage, so we look at your interval data and, where it stacks up, pair solar with a battery or load management to shave the peaks. We model the demand-charge saving separately so you can see what the solar does versus what the battery does.

It depends on your cash position and how you account for the asset. Buying outright gives the fastest payback and full ownership; finance spreads the cost while you save from day one; a power purchase agreement means little or no upfront cost and you buy the generated power at an agreed rate. We lay out the numbers for each against your usage so the choice is financial, not a sales push.

Yes, for anything beyond a small system. We pull your interval data and map your load against the sun before sizing the array, because a commercial system is sized to the load you run in daylight, not your total bill. That audit is what stops you over-buying export you will never use or under-sizing and leaving savings on the roof.
