Solar panels and battery storage cut electricity costs for Scottish farms, rural estates and businesses. Whether you want to add batteries to existing commercial solar, install a new PV array, or add EV charging, we assess your site and connect you with MCS-certified installer partners across Scotland.

Who we serve

We arrange commercial solar PV, battery storage and EV charging for farms, rural estates, businesses, warehouses, hospitality venues, schools and community buildings across Scotland. From barn rooftops and ground-mount arrays to large commercial roof spaces, we assess your property and design a system that fits how you use electricity.

Farms & rural estates: barn rooftops, outbuildings and ground-mount arrays for agricultural operations with high daytime energy use.
Businesses & warehouses: large roof areas and consistent daytime consumption make commercial premises well suited to solar and battery storage.
Hospitality & leisure: hotels, pubs, visitor centres and leisure venues with significant hot water and heating demand benefit from stored solar.
Schools & community buildings: reduce running costs and demonstrate low-carbon leadership.
Industrial sites: manufacturing and processing facilities with large roof spans and high baseloads are strong candidates for commercial PV.
Public sector: council buildings, NHS facilities and social housing organisations looking to cut operational energy costs.

What we install

Commercial battery storage: add battery storage to store your solar generation for use when the panels are not producing, reducing peak-rate grid purchases. We assess your existing system and recommend the right battery capacity for your usage profile.

Solar PV installation: new solar PV arrays on barn roofs, warehouse rooftops, ground-mount sites and commercial buildings. We assess your roof orientation, pitch, shading and structural capacity, then design a system sized to your consumption.

EV charging points: workplace and fleet EV charging installed alongside your solar and battery system, so you can charge vehicles with your own generation. We assess your electrical capacity and recommend the right charger specification.

How savings work for a business

Daytime usage: businesses that consume electricity during the day — when solar panels are generating — benefit most, because they use their own generation directly instead of buying from the grid at peak rates.

Electricity tariff: your tariff determines how much you pay for imported electricity and how much you earn for exported surplus. Time-of-use tariffs create opportunities to charge batteries off-peak and discharge at peak rates.

Roof or ground space: the available area and its orientation, pitch and shading determine how many panels you can fit and how much energy they generate. South-facing roofs produce most; east-west arrays spread generation across the day.

Export: electricity you generate but cannot use on site is exported to the grid. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) pays you for this surplus. A battery lets you store it instead, which is usually more valuable than the export rate.

How it works

Enquiry: complete the business enquiry form on this page or call us. We ask about your premises and energy usage.

Site survey: we visit your premises to assess roof space, wiring, structural capacity and DNO area.

Design & install: we design the system, handle DNO paperwork and connect you with an MCS-certified installer partner.

Aftercare: commissioning, warranty documentation and ongoing support after installation.

Finance

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We discuss your options during the site survey and provide details alongside your written quote.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add battery storage to my existing commercial solar system?

Yes. If your commercial solar system uses a string inverter, we assess AC-coupled battery options that connect alongside it without disruption. If you already have a hybrid inverter, a straight battery add-on may be possible. A site survey confirms which path applies to your system.

Do you install solar PV for farms and businesses, not just batteries?

Yes. We arrange solar PV installations for farms, rural estates, warehouses, hospitality venues, schools and community buildings across Scotland. We also install EV charging points. All installations are carried out through MCS-certified installer partners.

How much could a business save with solar and battery storage?

Savings depend on your daytime electricity usage, your tariff, available roof or ground space, and how much you currently export. A business that uses power during the day benefits most because it consumes solar generation directly. We model your expected savings during the site survey using your actual usage data.

Do you handle DNO approval for commercial battery systems?

Yes. Commercial battery systems over 3.68kW per phase require G99 prior approval from your DNO — SP Energy Networks in central and southern Scotland, SSEN in the north and Highlands. We handle all DNO paperwork and applications as part of the process.

Is finance available for commercial solar and battery installations?

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We discuss your options during the site survey and provide details alongside your written quote. Larger commercial installations may have additional finance routes available through the installer partner.
