What we do for businesses
Solar and EV charging work best planned together: they share the same electricity supply and often the same grid application.

Sites we work on
Most of our commercial work is on buildings that use a lot of power in daylight hours.
Warehouses
Turn large flat or pitched roofs into long-term savings; ideal for sites with high daytime lighting, refrigeration or FLT loads.
Manufacturing
Offset high daytime demand with a PV + storage system built around your production schedule.
Retail
Reduce overheads and support sustainability reporting, ESG commitments and net-zero plans across multi-site estates.
Offices
Cut operating costs, improve building performance and pair with workplace EV charging.
Farming & Agricultural
Make productive use of barns, sheds and agricultural buildings; pairs well with heat pumps and EV infrastructure.
Sports & Leisure
Support clubs and venues with practical, site-specific solar design for pools, floodlights and pavilions.

Ways to pay
Choose outright purchase, a Smart Ease payment plan or a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Smart Ease is a separate entity; payment plans and PPAs are subject to provider criteria and approval.
- Outright purchase. Solar panels may qualify for capital allowances such as the Annual Investment Allowance, which can reduce your tax bill in the year you buy. Potential tax treatment depends on your company's position and your own professional advice.
- Smart Ease payment plan. Smart Ease payment plans can spread the cost of solar, battery storage and associated equipment over time. Applications up to £150k can be pre-approved online in around 4 minutes, subject to credit criteria.
- Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). A third-party provider funds, owns and maintains the system while you buy the electricity it generates at an agreed rate.
Finance is subject to status.

One contractor from survey to sign-off
We start with your data
A site survey and a review of your half-hourly energy data, so the system is sized to how you use power.
We handle the grid paperwork
Applications to your network operator, including G99, are part of the job.
We plan around your site
Access, working at height and live operations are planned before work starts, so you know what's happening and when.
We stay after handover
Monitoring, maintenance options and a performance review after the first year.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work outside the Midlands?
Yes. Our home installations are in the Midlands, but we install for businesses anywhere in England, Wales and Scotland. We've completed 300+ commercial installations across 11 UK regions.
Can solar, batteries and EV chargers be done as one project?
Yes, and it usually saves work. Planning them together means one design, one look at your electricity supply and, where possible, one grid application instead of several.
Is my site suitable?
Sites with a sound roof or spare land, steady daytime power use and a few years left at the property are usually worth a survey. Tell us the address and roughly what you spend on electricity, and we'll tell you whether it's worth a visit.
Speak to an expert about your site
Tell us about your site and what you want from it. Your enquiry goes to George Joslin, who leads our commercial projects unconfirmed.
