Commercial Solar PV
Big, small and everything in-between
More and more companies. businesses, schools, Village halls and farmers are realising the financial benefits just keep getting better especially as world solar PV prices continue to come down.
Then there is the impact on your Carbon Footprint and environmental credentials which has become important to all companies wanting to compete in our environmentally conscious marketplace.
In the right situation we have repeat customers achieving 2 year paybacks and ROI’s over 50%. Ask us for a free site assessment.
Is Solar right for you?
- Do you own or have a long lease on your buildings?
- Is the cost of electricity an important cost to your business?
- Have you got suitable roofs? You don’t have to face South on a low pitch roof to get a good return. Ask us for free advice.
- Will your roof need replacing in the next 20-30 years?
- No planning permission is needed for roof mounted installations.
- Ground mounted panels, subject to planning permission, also make sense for high consumption sites.
Businesses
Business growth with solar solutions
Benefits: Reduced operational costs through lower electricity bills, enhanced brand image as a green company, potential for greater energy independence, eligibility for government incentives, high ROI of 50%+ and very short pay backs as low as 2-3 years.
Who for: Any business with significant daytime energy usage can offset a substantial portion of their energy costs. Solar PV and sometimes batteries, can power factories, schools, farms and office buildings, contributing to a more predictable financial forecast.
Schools
A Future with Solar: Powering Education Sustainably
Benefits: Educational institutions can significantly reduce energy costs, freeing up budget for educational resources or improvements. Solar installations offer a practical learning tool for students about renewable energy and sustainability. Plus, schools can demonstrate environmental leadership in the community. Many schools obtain grants to cover the capital costs.
Uses: Solar PV can power classrooms, administrative offices, and outdoor lighting. Excess energy can be sold back to the grid during holidays through your power company), generating additional revenue for school programs or infrastructure projects.
Farms
Harvesting the sun
Benefits: Farms can stabilize energy costs, crucial for all types of operations. Solar energy can power remote agricultural equipment, reducing the reliance on diesel generators and provide long term energy security with excellent ROI’s. With battery backup some temporary cover for power cuts can often save the day.
Uses: Solar PV supports greenhouses, dairy operations, irrigation systems, crop drying and livestock facilities. It can also power farm machinery charging stations and provide energy for cold storage facilities to keep produce fresh.
Village Halls and Churches
Community powered solar solutions
Benefits: Community buildings can cut energy costs while becoming hubs for sustainability within the community. Solar installations can support the building’s electrical needs for events, heating, and lighting, reducing operational costs and providing long term certainty on running costs.
Uses: Solar energy can be used for daily operations, community events, and emergency shelters during power outages. Excess electricity generated can be shared with the community or sold back to the grid, creating a new revenue stream for maintenance or community projects.
Sports Clubs
Solar powered sports facilities
Benefits: Sports clubs can significantly reduce lighting and heating costs, particularly for indoor arenas and swimming pools. Solar installations enhance the club’s reputation as environmentally responsible and can provide energy reliability for evening and weekend events. See our Desford Sports Club Case History.
Uses: Solar PV can power clubhouse operations, field lighting, and indoor/outdoor sports facilities. It also offers the potential for electric vehicle charging stations for members and visitors, adding to the club’s amenities.
Housing Estate Districts
Sustainable living
Benefits: Housing estates can enjoy reduced communal energy costs, increased property values, and a smaller carbon footprint. Solar energy can power street lighting, communal areas, and contribute to the overall energy needs of the estate, offering a greener living environment.
Use Cases: Solar installations can be integrated into housing designs or added to existing structures, powering communal facilities like gyms, pools, and security systems. They can also provide backup power solutions for critical areas during outages.

What some of our valued customers say about us
David Poole
Carbon Legacy blew me away with their culture, service, and quality. Having spent decades in HR shaping businesses, I can confidently say they’re a gold standard. From Tesla Powerwall 3 to Zappi and Octopus, everything was seamless and now I get daily entertainment from watching my savings grow.

Oli - Self Builder
Five years on, my house is still warm and cheap to run – exactly what I asked for. My total energy bills each year are just a few hundred quid. Carbon Legacy delivered on comfort, cost and performance. As an accountant and self-builder, I couldn’t ask for better advice or results from the team.

From initial meeting to final install, the whole Carbon Legacy team were spot-on. Very professional, no fluff, and everything delivered on time and to a high standard. The system is running well and proving to be a smart and profitable long-term investment. Absolutely worth the time and money.
Estate Owner
Chris
Talking to Carbon Legacy early in the build was the smartest move we made. They stripped back the jargon and gave clear, simple advice that worked. Our system just runs; no fuss, no drama, and the savings have been great. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the process.
Local Self-builder
Jay
They’re even bigger energy nerds than me, and that’s saying something. The team was focused, friendly, and clearly love what they do. The system install was top quality and I’ve already started planning another one with them for my next house. Highly recommend them and the gear they use.

Stephen
Can’t fault them. The crew was sharp, professional, and efficient. The install went smoothly, the price was competitive, and the kit is already beating its projected savings. For a big system like ours, that kind of performance matters. Would happily work with them again on future projects.
Charterhouse, 200kW PV
Andy
We hesitated on PV due to roof issues. Carbon Legacy suggested removing the obstruction and fitting in-roof panels front and back. It made the re-roof cheaper, gave us more panels, and a Tesla Powerwall too. The new setup should cut our electricity bills by 70%, we wish we’d done it years ago.
