Frequently Asked Questions

How much do commercial solar panels cost?

Commercial solar installations typically cost £800–£1,100 per kW installed. A 50 kW system costs around £40,000–£55,000, while a 100 kW system costs £75,000–£100,000. Costs have fallen significantly and continue to offer excellent ROI.

What size solar system does a business need?

System size depends on your electricity consumption and available roof space. Most SMEs install 20–100 kW systems. A site survey determines the optimal size to maximise self-consumption and minimise payback period.

Are there grants for commercial solar panels?

While direct grants are limited, businesses can benefit from Enhanced Capital Allowances (100% first-year tax relief), Smart Export Guarantee payments for surplus energy, and reduced VAT on some installations.
