Who This Is For

We work with a range of commercial and agricultural operations across Scotland. If you have a roof, land, or a large electricity bill, a solar and battery system can reduce your running costs and provide resilience against grid outages.

Farms & Crofts

Barns, sheds and outbuildings with large unshaded roofs ideal for solar arrays.

Commercial Premises

Warehouses, offices and retail units with daytime electricity consumption.

Industrial Sites

Manufacturing and processing facilities with high energy demand.

Public Sector

Community buildings, schools and municipal sites looking to cut energy costs.

What We Install

Solar PV Arrays

Rooftop or ground-mounted solar panels sized to your available space and consumption. We model the optimal array size based on roof orientation, shading and your annual usage profile.

Tesla Powerwall 3 Battery Storage

The Powerwall 3 includes a built-in solar inverter and 13.5 kWh of storage. Multiple units can be stacked to scale capacity for larger commercial sites. Storm Watch pre-charges the battery before severe weather for back-up power.

System Integration

We integrate solar generation, battery storage and your existing electrical infrastructure. The system can work with time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Agile or Intelligent Flux to maximise savings through tariff arbitrage.

How Savings Work

A commercial solar and battery system reduces your electricity costs in three ways. First, solar generation displaces grid electricity you would otherwise buy during daylight hours. Second, the battery stores surplus solar for use in the evening or during peak tariff periods, avoiding the highest unit rates. Third, on time-of-use tariffs, the battery can charge at off-peak rates and discharge during peak, trading the price difference automatically.

For farms and rural properties, the back-up power capability adds resilience against grid outages, keeping essential equipment running during power cuts. This is particularly valuable for operations that rely on continuous power for refrigeration, milking equipment, or heating.

Export revenue. Surplus electricity exported to the grid can earn SEG payments from participating suppliers, creating an additional revenue stream from your solar array.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can solar panels be installed on agricultural barns and outbuildings?

Yes. Barns, sheds and outbuildings typically have large, unshaded roof spaces that are ideal for solar arrays. We assess the roof structure, orientation and condition during your site survey. Ground-mounted arrays are also an option where roof space is limited or unsuitable.

How many Powerwall units do I need for a commercial site?

The number depends on your daily electricity consumption, solar array size and tariff. We model your usage data to recommend the right configuration. Multiple Powerwall 3 units can be stacked to scale storage capacity for larger sites with higher demand.

Can I add battery storage to my existing commercial solar panels?

Yes. The Powerwall 3 includes a built-in solar inverter and connects to most existing commercial solar arrays. We assess compatibility during your site survey and design the battery system to work alongside your current generation.

Do you work with businesses on time-of-use tariffs?

Yes. On tariffs like Octopus Agile or Intelligent Flux, the Powerwall charges at off-peak rates and discharges during peak periods, automatically trading the price difference. This tariff arbitrage can significantly reduce your electricity costs alongside solar generation.

Is finance available for commercial and farm installations?

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Our installer partners can discuss credit options as part of your installation quote, allowing you to spread the cost over a period that suits your budget.
