Frequently asked questions
Last reviewed: October 2026
What is commercial solar?
Commercial solar is a solar panel system designed for business premises, farms, warehouses and other non-domestic buildings. Panels can be mounted on roofs, carports or open ground, and the electricity powers your operations during the working day. Systems are sized around your site and energy use, and can be paired with battery storage.
Is commercial solar worth it in Scotland's climate?
Commercial solar can be worthwhile in Scotland because most businesses use the bulk of their electricity during daylight hours, when panels generate. Long summer days help balance shorter winter ones, and cooler temperatures suit panel efficiency. Suitability depends on your roof or land, grid connection and usage pattern, which your free survey assesses.
How does the free commercial solar survey work?
Your free, no-obligation commercial survey reviews your site, roof structure or available land, grid connection and electricity usage. We look at your consumption pattern to size the system properly. You then receive a detailed proposal and written quote, and we can help with any grid application or planning paperwork your project needs, with Scotland-wide coverage.
What happens during a commercial solar installation?
During a commercial installation, we install through MCS-certified partners who agree a schedule designed to keep disruption to your business low. The team sets up safe access, mounts the panels, installs inverters and connects to your electrical supply. The system is then tested and commissioned, and your monitoring is set up before handover.
Is finance available for commercial solar?
Yes. Interest-free finance up to £30,000 for qualifying farm and commercial projects can help spread the cost of a commercial solar system. Your adviser explains eligibility and the wider finance options during your free survey. Any finance is arranged through authorised providers, and there is no obligation to proceed after receiving your proposal.
