Commercial Solar and Battery Storage in Edinburgh
Quick answer
Yes. We arrange commercial solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps for businesses, public buildings and farms across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Each project starts with a no-obligation site survey, then a written design and proposal, with installation carried out through our MCS-certified partners and aftercare once the system is running.
Who it is for
Organisations across Edinburgh and the Lothians that want to generate and store more of their own electricity.
- Offices
- Warehouses and units
- Retail
- Hospitality
- Schools
- Community buildings
- Farms in the Lothians
- Other businesses
What we install
Commercial solar PV
Roof-mounted arrays sized to your building, plus ground-mounted options for farms with suitable land.
Battery storage
Store surplus daytime generation and draw on it at the start and end of the working day.
EV charging
Workplace and fleet chargers that can run on your own solar generation where the design allows.
Heat pumps for larger buildings
Air source systems for offices, halls and farm buildings, designed alongside your solar.
How savings work for a business
There is no single figure for a business. These four factors decide what solar and storage are worth to your site, and the survey measures each one before we put anything in writing.
Daytime usage
Solar generates during daylight. Sites that use most of their power during the working day use more of what they generate.
Your tariff
The more you pay per unit for grid electricity, the more each unit you generate yourself is worth to the business.
Roof or ground space
Usable, unshaded space sets how large the system can be. Farms often have barns or land that suit larger arrays.
Export
Surplus electricity can be exported to the grid under an export tariff, or stored in a battery for later use.
How it works
- Step 1
Site survey
A no-obligation visit to check the roof or land, your electrics, your usage data and any planning constraints.
- Step 2
Design
A written design and itemised proposal naming every component, warranty and the installation partner.
- Step 3
Installation
Installation is carried out through our MCS-certified partners, scheduled around your working hours.
- Step 4
Aftercare
Commissioning, handover documents and a point of contact for questions once the system is running.
Finance
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.
Commercial solar questions
Do you install commercial solar panels for businesses in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Yes. We arrange commercial solar PV and battery storage for offices, warehouses, shops, hospitality venues, schools, community buildings and farms across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Every project starts with a no-obligation site survey, and installation is carried out through our MCS-certified partners, with the installer named on your written proposal.
How much could solar save my business?
It depends on how much electricity you use during daylight hours, your current tariff, the usable roof or ground space, and how much surplus you export. Businesses that use most of their power during the working day usually benefit most. We do not quote savings until the site survey has checked these factors.
Is battery storage worth it for a business or farm?
A battery stores surplus solar generation for later in the day and can charge from cheaper off-peak electricity, which suits sites with early-morning, evening or seasonal demand, such as farms and hospitality venues. Whether it suits your site depends on your usage pattern, which the survey looks at before we recommend a size.
Is finance available for commercial solar?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Your written proposal sets out the full cost of equipment, installation and any battery or EV charging, line by line, so you can compare options and decide how to pay before committing to anything.
Do I need planning permission for solar on a commercial building?
Many rooftop systems on non-domestic buildings in Scotland can go ahead without a planning application, but limits apply. Listed buildings, conservation areas and larger ground-mounted arrays may need consent, and bigger systems may also need grid connection approval from the network operator. We check both before the design is finalised.
