A Few Questions
Assessing Your Business For Solar PV Panels
Please read the answers to the questions below.
Understanding Your Commercial Solar Requirements
The efficiency of a solar PV system depends heavily on factors like roof orientation, angle, and structural integrity. Ideally, a south-facing roof at a 30° to 40° pitch provides optimal conditions for solar energy capture. That said, flat roofs or east/west-facing rooftops can still be viable with the right panel positioning and system design.
Shading from nearby buildings, trees, or roof structures can reduce the effectiveness of your solar array, so identifying and minimising shade is crucial. Additionally, the roof must be structurally sound to support the solar panels and mounting equipment safely.
A professional site assessment ensures your business gets the best return on investment by maximising solar gain and system efficiency.
Evaluating Your Roof Type and Building Age
Commercial buildings come in all shapes and sizes, and the type of roof you have plays a significant role in determining the installation method. Whether you have a metal sheet roof, flat roof, or something more bespoke, The Commercial Solar Company has the experience to tailor a system that works for your premises.
We are MCS-accredited and HIES-registered, ensuring your system is installed to the highest industry standards. These certifications mean:
- Guaranteed workmanship and compliance with UK regulations
- Access to robust warranties and ongoing maintenance
- Peace of mind that your investment is future-proof and professionally managed
Our team works closely with you to ensure all components – from the panels to the inverter – are integrated seamlessly into your business operations.
Property Assessments and Energy Usage Analysis
No two businesses are alike, and neither are their energy needs. That’s why we carry out a detailed evaluation of your property and your electricity consumption to design a commercial solar system that aligns with your operational goals.
The installation typically involves:
- Scaffolding (if required)
- Roof preparation or removal of outdated systems
- Solar panel and inverter installation
- Electrical system integration
- Comprehensive system testing and commissioning
Our installations are efficient and minimally disruptive – many are completed within just a few working days.
Maximising Efficiency with Commercial Battery Storage
Pairing your solar PV system with battery storage can significantly enhance your energy savings. These systems store excess energy generated during peak sunlight hours and discharge it when needed – such as in the evenings or during peak-rate periods.
For businesses, the benefits include:
- Reduced reliance on the National Grid
- Greater energy cost control
- Backup power during outages
- Long-term energy resilience and sustainability
Integrating battery storage can reduce your electricity bills by up to 60%, depending on your system size, energy generation, and usage patterns.

Key Considerations for Your Business
Commercial Solar Panels vs. Solar Panels with Battery Storage
Solar Panel System Only
- Lower upfront investment, making it a more accessible option for many businesses.
- Faster, simpler installation with no need for additional battery integration.
- However, your system won’t provide power during a grid outage.
- Continued reliance on grid electricity during evenings or low-sunlight periods
Solar PV System with Battery Storage
- Greater long-term savings on energy bills by using stored power during peak times or when solar generation is low.
- Reduces your business’s carbon footprint and supports your sustainability goals.
- Can increase the value and appeal of your commercial premises.
- Access to certain government incentives and tax benefits for energy-efficient upgrades.
- Enhanced energy independence – buffering your business against rising energy costs.
- SEG benefits but as high as just with panels.

"40% cut in costs"
I was initially sceptical about whether solar would make a real difference to our overheads, but I’m happy to say I was wrong. These guys really know their stuff. The panels are performing better than expected, and we’ve seen a 40% cut in our electricity costs over the last few months. I’d highly recommend The Commercial Solar Company for any business looking to cut energy bills and future-proof operations.
