About our work

Commercial solar installations across the UK

Every project on this page was surveyed, designed, installed and commissioned by Sol4r Energy. They range from a 12.5kWp system at a Shropshire cricket club to a 1MW installation at Laceby Manor Resort, and we can take on larger projects too. Each case study covers the roof, the kit we used and how the system performs, so you can see what solar could do for a building like yours. Find out more about our commercial solar solutions.

Many of our business clients pair panels with battery storage and EV charging, so they can use more of their own power on site. We work with leading manufacturers including Sungrow, Sigenergy, FoxESS, Growatt and Tigo. All installs are carried out to MCS standards.

FAQs
What size commercial solar system does my business need?
It depends on your roof space and how much electricity you use during the day. We've delivered everything from a 12.5kWp club system to a 1MW resort, and we can design and install larger systems too. We start with a site survey and a look at your usage data, then size the system to match.
Can commercial solar include battery storage and EV chargers?
Yes. A battery stores daytime generation for use later, and EV chargers let you run vehicles on your own power. Briggs Amasco, for example, combines 63kWp of solar with 30.72kWh of storage and four Zappi chargers.
Can my business get paid for the electricity it exports?
Yes. Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), licensed electricity suppliers pay for the surplus you export to the grid from an eligible installation.
Do you look after the system after it's installed?
Yes. We offer solar PV maintenance and repair, including health checks, fault finding and inverter and battery servicing, to keep the system performing.
