Who it is for
Solar for Highland farms and businesses
We design and arrange installation for a wide range of commercial and agricultural premises across Inverness and the wider Highlands.
Farms & crofts
Barn roofs, outbuildings and ground-mount arrays for agricultural and crofting land.
Rural estates
Multi-building systems for estate properties with diverse energy demands.
Businesses & industrial
Warehouses, workshops and commercial units with large daytime consumption.
Distilleries
Process heat offsetting and export income for one of the Highlands' key industries.
Hospitality & holiday lets
Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering properties looking to cut energy overheads.
Schools & community
Community buildings and public sector premises seeking long-term energy security.
What we install
Complete commercial renewable systems
Commercial solar PV
Rooftop and ground-mount systems sized to your available space and consumption profile.
Battery storage
Commercial-scale LiFePO4 batteries to shift solar generation into the evening and back up your supply.
EV charging
Workplace and fleet charge points integrated with your solar and battery system.
Heat pumps
Air-source and ground-source heat pumps for larger buildings looking to decarbonise heating.
How savings work
What determines your commercial solar savings
No two businesses are the same. Your savings depend on a combination of factors that we assess during the site survey.
Daytime usage
The more energy you consume during daylight hours, the more solar directly displaces grid imports — businesses with high daytime demand see the fastest return.
Your tariff
Export rates and import rates both matter. A high import tariff increases the value of self-consumed solar, while a competitive export rate pays you for surplus generation.
Roof or ground space
Available, unshaded area determines how many panels you can fit. Large barn roofs and open ground offer significant capacity for commercial-scale arrays.
Export income
Surplus electricity exported to the grid earns payments through an agreed export tariff, providing an additional revenue stream alongside bill savings.
How it works
From survey to switch-on
No-obligation site survey
We visit your premises to assess roof or ground suitability, shading, existing electrical infrastructure and consumption patterns.
System design
You receive a tailored system proposal with panel layout, battery sizing, projected generation and a written quote.
Installation
Installation is carried out through our MCS-certified partners with minimal disruption to your operations.
Aftercare
Monitoring, maintenance and warranty support keep your system performing at its best for years to come.
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.
Commercial solar FAQs
What size solar system do I need for my business?
System size depends on your annual electricity consumption, available roof or ground space, and how much of your usage falls during daylight. A site survey assesses your premises and consumption data, then we design a system that matches your demand profile rather than applying a one-size-fits-all figure.
Can solar panels be installed on a barn or outbuilding?
Yes. Barn roofs, outbuildings and purpose-built ground-mount frames are all common options for farms and rural properties. The survey checks roof condition, orientation, shading and structural capacity. Ground-mount systems are ideal when roof space is limited or poorly oriented for solar generation.
How does battery storage work for a business?
A commercial battery stores excess solar generated during the day so you can use it in the evening or overnight, reducing grid imports. It also provides backup power during outages. Battery capacity is sized to your daily consumption pattern and the amount of surplus solar your system typically produces.
Is finance available for commercial solar?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.
How long does a commercial installation take?
Most commercial installations take two to five days on site, depending on system size and complexity. The full timeline from survey to switch-on is typically four to eight weeks, which includes design, any necessary permissions, scheduling and the installation itself.
