Why Choose Solar for Your Industrial Unit?
Solar PV is more than just a way to reduce your carbon footprint – for industrial units, it is one of the highest-performing financial assets you can add to your balance sheet.
- Cut Operating Costs – Significantly reduce your overheads by generating your own electricity on-site, precisely when industrial demand and machinery usage are often at their highest.
- Energy Predictability – Protect your business from volatile energy market spikes and global price fluctuations with a fixed, predictable cost of power for the next 25-plus years.
- Capital Allowances (AIA) – Offset the cost of your installation by utilising your Annual Investment Allowance, potentially writing off up to 100% of the cost against your profits in the first year.
We’ve already helped thousands across East Anglia, and many tell us it’s the best investments they’ve ever made.

DNO & Grid Applications – We Handle It
A critical step for any industrial solar installation is the G99 Grid Connection application. Because industrial units typically require larger solar arrays, you must gain formal approval from the District Network Operator (DNO) before the system can be commissioned.
If not handled correctly, grid constraints or paperwork delays can stall a project for months.
The good news? We take care of everything. Our in-house technical team manages the entire process. We navigate the complexities of local grid capacity on your behalf, ensuring your business stays compliant and your project stays on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is solar installed on an industrial roof?
Most industrial units use either a 'trapezoidal' or 'standing seam' roof. We use specialised, lightweight mounting rails that fix directly to the existing roof sheets without compromising the structural integrity or the weather-sealed warranty of your building.
Do I need planning permission for an industrial unit?
In most cases, industrial solar falls under "Permitted Development (Class J)". For systems over 50kW, a "Prior Approval" process is required from the local authority. We handle this entire application for you, ensuring all paperwork and technical drawings are compliant.
Will my roof be able to take the weight?
This is a key part of our process. During our technical audit, we assess the "dead load" of the panels and the "wind load" for your specific location. We only proceed if your building's structure is fully suitable, often utilising lightweight aluminium systems to minimise weight.
What types of solar panels are best for businesses?
For industrial applications, we typically recommend high-efficiency monocrystalline Tier-1 panels. These offer the best longevity and power density, ensuring you get the maximum possible kilowatt-peak (kWp) from your available roof area.
Will the installation disrupt my business operations?
We pride ourselves on minimal disruption. Most of our work takes place on the roof, and any electrical shutdowns required for the final connection are planned well in advance and scheduled at a time that suits your production or operational hours.
What is the typical ROI for an industrial system?
Industrial solar is one of the best investments a business can make. With the current energy climate and the benefit of the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), most systems pay for themselves within 2-3 years, providing free electricity for decades thereafter.
What maintenance is required for large-scale arrays?
Maintenance is minimal, but for industrial sites, we recommend an annual check. This includes an electrical string test and a visual inspection to ensure environmental factors like dust or bird nesting aren't affecting your yield.
How do we get permission to connect to the grid?
For systems larger than a standard house, we must submit a G99 application to the District Network Operator (DNO). We manage this entire technical dialogue for you, securing your right to connect and, where possible, your right to export surplus power back to the grid.
