Is there a limit to the size of installation I can have?

If you are on a single-phase supply your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) has set an installation limit of 4kW at peak performance, this is generally the phase most domestic properties are on. If you are on a three-phase supply, generally a business and usually a farm, your DNO’s limit is a 12kW installation. We can, however, install a larger system with permission from your DNO, we can request this permission on your behalf using your MPAN. This service is generally free of charge.

What guarantees do you provide?

The inverters, batteries, and workmanship have a 10-year guarantee. The solar panels are guaranteed to be working at least 80% efficiency after 25 years.

Types of Solar Power Systems for your Commercial Property

On Roof

Our team of experienced installers will arrive with you and fit rails to your roof, they will then attach brackets and the solar panels will slot in.

Ground Mount

If you do not have a suitable roof, a ground-mounted system maybe an alternative for you.

Ground mounted solar panels can be angled for optimal sunlight exposure, resulting in higher energy production and increased efficiency. However, they do require significant land space and planning permission
