Solar for farms, businesses and public buildings
If your property uses electricity during the day, solar and battery storage can reduce your bills and protect you from price rises. We work with farms, rural estates, warehouses, offices, hospitality, schools and community buildings across Scotland.
What we install
Commercial solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps for larger buildings. We install through MCS-certified partners using MCS-listed equipment.
What drives commercial solar savings?
Daytime usage, your tariff, available roof or ground space, and export income. We model each factor for your site rather than quoting a single headline figure.
How it works
No-obligation site survey, design and fixed-price quotation, installation through our MCS-certified partners, and aftercare including monitoring and support. Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.
Frequently asked questions
Is solar worth it for a farm or business in Scotland?
Yes, if your business uses electricity during the day. Farms, warehouses and offices with daytime consumption can displace bought units at their day rate, which is usually the biggest saving. A site survey models the actual numbers for your roof, usage and tariff.
How much roof space do I need for commercial solar?
Most commercial systems need at least 50 square metres of usable roof or ground area, though more is better. A site survey confirms exactly how many panels fit and which sections are most productive. Orientation, shading and roof condition all affect the usable area.
Can I add battery storage and EV charging together?
Yes. A battery stores surplus solar for evening use and overnight tariff arbitrage, while EV charge points let you power vehicles from your own generation. We design the full system together so the battery, panels and chargers work as one integrated setup.
What finance options are available for commercial solar?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000 is available, subject to status. For larger systems, we can discuss options in your written quotation. Solar Savings Scotland is not a lender. We will include both cash and financed figures so you can compare.
How long does a commercial solar installation take?
From survey to commissioning, most commercial installations take four to eight weeks depending on system size, DNO approval timelines and weather. The on-site installation itself is typically two to five days. We provide a clear timeline in your quotation.
