We connect Scottish farms, rural estates, businesses, warehouses, hospitality venues, schools and community buildings with MCS-certified installation partners for solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps. A no-obligation site survey gives you a tailored system design and written quote.
Who is commercial solar for?
Any Scottish business or organisation with suitable roof or ground space and daytime electricity demand can benefit. Here are the most common property types we help.
Farms & Rural Estates
Barn roofs, outbuildings and ground-mounted arrays for agricultural operations with high energy use.
Businesses & Warehouses
Large roof spaces on commercial and industrial buildings ideal for maximising solar generation.
Hospitality & Tourism
Hotels, restaurants and visitor attractions with consistent daytime electricity demand.
Schools & Community Buildings
Public-sector and community buildings looking to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint.
What we install for commercial properties
We match you with MCS-certified partners who design and install complete renewable energy systems for commercial buildings.
Commercial Solar PV
Roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar panel systems sized for business energy demand.
Battery Storage
Commercial-scale battery systems to store surplus generation and shift load to off-peak hours.
EV Charging
Workplace and fleet EV charger installation integrated with your solar and battery system.
Heat Pumps
Air source and ground source heat pumps for larger buildings requiring low-carbon heating.
How do savings work for a business?
Solar savings for businesses depend on how and when you use electricity, your tariff, your available space, and whether you can export surplus. A site survey gives you figures based on your actual consumption.
Daytime Usage
Businesses that consume electricity during daylight hours get the most value from solar, using generation directly rather than exporting it.
Electricity Tariff
Your current tariff and unit rate determine how much each kilowatt-hour of self-generated electricity offsets your bill.
Roof or Ground Space
Available area and orientation determine how many panels can be installed and how much the system can generate.
Export Income
Surplus electricity exported to the grid may earn payments under a Smart Export Guarantee arrangement with your supplier.
No two commercial sites are the same. A no-obligation survey gives you generation and savings figures based on your roof, your usage and your tariff — not generic estimates.
How does the process work?
From enquiry to installation, here is what happens at each stage.
Site Survey
A surveyor visits your premises to assess roof structure, orientation, electrical setup and energy usage patterns.
System Design
You receive a detailed system design specifying panel layout, inverter, battery capacity and expected generation.
Installation
Installation is carried out through MCS-certified partners, with minimal disruption to your operations.
Aftercare
Monitoring, maintenance and support keep your system performing at its best for years to come.
Finance options
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.
Interest-free credit of up to £30,000 is available, subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply. Larger commercial projects may have different arrangements — ask your surveyor about options suited to your project scale.
Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial Solar Scotland
Farms, rural estates, warehouses, industrial units, hospitality venues, schools, community buildings and offices with suitable roof or ground space all benefit from commercial solar. A site survey confirms whether your roof structure, orientation and electrical setup can support a system.
Savings depend on your daytime electricity usage, tariff, available roof or ground area, and how much surplus you can export. Businesses with high daytime demand typically benefit most. A survey gives you figures tailored to your actual consumption, not generic estimates.
Yes. Battery storage lets you use generated electricity during evenings or peak tariff periods, improving self-consumption. Commercial-scale batteries can also support load shifting and backup power. Your system designer will size the battery to match your usage profile and solar array.
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Larger commercial projects may have different finance arrangements — ask your surveyor about options for your project scale.
After survey and design, most commercial installations are completed within one to two weeks depending on system size, roof access and whether battery storage or EV charging is included. Your installer confirms the full timetable, including any required downtime, before work begins.
