Questions
What financing options are available for commercial solar systems?
We offer CapEx purchases, asset finance, and Power Purchase Agreements. Each option provides different benefits depending on your business's financial preferences and energy consumption needs.
Do I need planning permission for commercial solar panels?
Rooftop solar typically doesn't require planning permission unless in conservation areas or on listed buildings. Ground-mounted systems and solar farms usually require standard planning applications.
Can solar panels be installed on leased commercial properties?
Yes, with landlord permission. Most landlords approve solar installations as they increase property value and demonstrate environmental responsibility while providing energy cost savings.
How long does solar panel installation take?
Installation duration varies by system size. Smaller projects typically take 1-2 weeks, while larger commercial installations may require several months. We provide detailed timelines during project planning.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
Regular cleaning and annual inspections ensure optimal performance. Our maintenance packages include system checks, performance monitoring, and timely repairs to maximise energy generation and system longevity.
