FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What size commercial solar system do I need?

This depends on your available roof or land space, energy usage, and budget. We conduct a full analysis to recommend the right kWp system for optimal efficiency.

How long does an industrial installation take?

Most installations take from a few days to several weeks, depending on size and complexity. Larger sites require structural checks and DNO approvals before work begins.

Will I need planning permission or grid approval?

Typically, rooftop installations do not require planning unless the building is listed or in a conservation area. Grid approval (G99/G98) is often required, and we handle all applications.

What warranties and guarantees apply?

Panels come with 10–25-year warranties, and inverters have their own manufacturer coverage. We also offer performance monitoring and O&M plans for peace of mind.

How much can my business save?

Savings vary depending on system size, energy usage, and self-consumption rates. Many clients achieve payback within 5–8 years, followed by decades of low-cost energy.

Can I include battery storage?

Yes. Battery systems can store excess power, reduce peak charges, and provide backup during outages.

Do you offer maintenance and monitoring?

Absolutely. Our O&M packages include remote monitoring, routine inspections, and performance reporting.

Will solar affect my roof warranty?

No. As experienced roofing specialists, we ensure installations comply with all manufacturer requirements and maintain existing roof warranties.
