Commercial Solar and Battery Storage in Paisley & Renfrewshire
Solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps for businesses, farms and public-sector buildings across Paisley, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Surveyed, designed and installed through MCS-certified partners.
Who is commercial solar for?
Any business or organisation with a roof, land and a daytime electricity bill.
We work with businesses, warehouses and industrial units across Paisley, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Hospitality venues, schools, community buildings and farms all benefit from on-site generation that reduces the electricity bought from the grid at the daytime rate.
If your operation uses electricity during daylight hours — whether that is refrigeration, machinery, lighting, heating or IT — a solar system sized to your load can offset a meaningful portion of what you would otherwise buy. Farms with barn roofs or ground space can accommodate larger arrays.
What we install
Commercial solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps for larger buildings.
Solar PV
Roof-mounted or ground-mounted arrays sized to your daytime load and available space.
Battery storage
Commercial-scale batteries that store surplus generation and charge from off-peak tariffs.
EV charging
Charge points installed alongside solar, allowing fleet charging from on-site generation.
Heat pumps
Air source heat pumps for larger buildings replacing oil, LPG or gas heating systems.
How savings work for a business
Four factors determine how much a commercial solar system saves.
Daytime usage
The more electricity your business uses during daylight hours, the more a solar array offsets. Operations running Monday to Friday during the day see the highest offset because generation peaks when consumption is highest.
Tariff
Your electricity unit rate determines the value of each unit of solar generation. Businesses on higher daytime rates benefit more from self-consumption. Surplus exported to the grid earns Smart Export Guarantee payments at rates set by each supplier.
Roof or ground space
The available area sets the maximum array size. Large warehouse roofs and open farmland accommodate bigger systems, while smaller commercial roofs may suit a more compact array paired with battery storage.
Export
Electricity generated but not used on site is exported to the grid. Smart Export Guarantee payments provide a return on exported units, though self-consumption is worth more per unit than export. A battery shifts surplus to periods when you would otherwise buy from the grid.
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.
How it works
Site survey
We visit your premises to assess roof structure, orientation, shading, available space, your consumer unit and your electricity usage profile.
Design
We design a system sized to your load, specifying panels, battery capacity, EV charging or heat pumps as required. The design and projected generation are set out in your written proposal.
Installation through MCS-certified partners
We install through MCS-certified partners, who handle the installation, G99 notification to SP Energy Networks and MCS certification paperwork.
Aftercare
After commissioning, we help you register for the Smart Export Guarantee and provide the documentation you need. Warranty and guarantee terms are confirmed in writing on your quotation.
