Key questions to ask when considering if solar PV is right for you are:
  • 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.
