Commercial Solar FAQ

Commercial solar typically costs between 700-1,000 per kWp installed, depending on system size, roof type, and access requirements. A 50kWp system (suitable for a medium office) costs around 35,000-50,000 before tax relief. With full expensing and 0% VAT, the effective cost is significantly lower.

System size depends on your annual electricity consumption, available roof space, and budget. As a rough guide: a 50kWp system needs ~300 sq.m of roof and generates ~42,500 kWh/year. Our installers will design a system optimised for your specific usage patterns.

Businesses can claim full expensing (100% first-year capital allowance) on solar installations, effectively reducing the cost by your corporation tax rate (25%). Solar panels also attract 0% VAT. Combined, these incentives can reduce the effective cost by 40%+.

Commercial solar typically pays back in 3-5 years, significantly faster than residential. This is because businesses use more energy during peak solar generation hours (9am-5pm), achieving 60-80% self-consumption rates.

Yes. Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), energy suppliers must offer a tariff for exported electricity. Commercial rates typically range from 3-8p/kWh. Some businesses also explore Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for larger systems.
