Why the numbers work for businesses
Businesses use most of their electricity during the day, which is when panels generate. That means a far bigger share of the solar is used on site rather than exported, which is where the real savings come from. Many business roofs are large, flat or unshaded, too.
What affects payback
- How much electricity you use during daylight hours.
- What you pay per unit on your current contract.
- Roof size, orientation, structure and condition.
- Grid connection constraints (G99).
- Whether battery storage or EV charging is part of the plan.
Our process

Questions to ask any installer
- Is the design based on our actual half-hourly data?
- Who handles the DNO application?
- What monitoring and aftercare is included?
- What guarantees apply to each component?
