We are a specialist commercial solar installer focused on industrial units: warehouses, distribution centres, fulfilment centres, cold-chain facilities, last-mile depots, and the manufacturing and trade buildings that make up the UK's industrial estate. We are not a residential firm that also dabbles in commercial work, and we are not a general electrical contractor adding solar as a sideline. Industrial roofs are what we do, and that focus shapes everything from how we design a system to how we handle the things that trip up generalists, sprinkler clearances, insurer requirements, wind loading on tall buildings, and the grid connection process for large arrays.
Why we focus on industrial units
Industrial buildings are the best solar opportunity in the country, and they are also the most demanding to get right. A warehouse roof can carry a system many times larger than a typical office or retail install, which means the savings are substantial but the engineering has to be precise. Get the layout wrong around the sprinkler heads and you fail the insurer review. Get the wind-load calculation wrong on a tall, exposed roof and the system is unsafe. Get the grid connection sizing wrong and the project stalls. We chose to specialise in this because the operators who run these buildings, logistics directors, distribution managers, property and asset managers, deserve an installer who understands the building type rather than treating it as a bigger version of a house.
How we work
We are independent of any panel or inverter manufacturer, so we specify the equipment that suits your roof and your load profile rather than whatever we are tied to selling. Every proposal starts with your actual data: we pull your half-hourly meter readings and your roof drawings, model the system, and produce an indicative proposal before anyone visits site. That means the first numbers you see are grounded in how your building really uses electricity, not a sales estimate. If the site does not suit solar, we tell you, and we would rather walk away from a project that will not perform than damage our reputation by overselling it.
When the desk study stacks up, our structural and electrical engineers carry out a one-day survey, and we follow it with a fixed-price proposal backed by full yield modelling and a financial analysis covering payback, internal rate of return, and net present value. We handle the parts most operators do not want to: the G99 grid connection application, planning where it is needed, insurer pre-design review, and any grant or capital allowance paperwork. For tenants, we engage the landlord directly and provide the green-lease addendum so consent does not become a blocker.
Built for industrial compliance
The technical detail is where industrial installs are won or lost. We design every layout to LPC sprinkler clearance standards, maintaining the required gaps to deflectors and at high-bay racking, and we obtain insurer sign-off before anything is fabricated. Wind loading is calculated to BS EN 1991-1-4 for the specific exposure at your site, which matters on the tall, open roofs common to logistics buildings. For cold-chain facilities we respect the integrity of insulated roof panels and work around F-gas-regulated refrigeration plant. And we plan installs so your operations continue underneath: the roof work happens above you, and the only outage needed is the final grid synchronisation, which we schedule for a weekend or planned shutdown.
Accreditations and warranty
We hold the certifications a credible UK commercial solar installer should hold, and each one can be checked against the issuing body, which is exactly what you should do before appointing any installer. We carry MCS commercial certification, NICEIC approved contractor status, RECC membership, and a TrustMark licence, and we operate to ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 for quality, environment, and health and safety. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year insurance-backed warranty, which protects you even in the unlikely event the installer is no longer trading, the kind of cover that separates established firms from the operators who disappear when something goes wrong.
Honest, and in it for the long term
The commercial solar market has its share of high-pressure sales and inflated promises, and that is a problem for every serious installer because it makes good operators harder to find. Our answer is to be straight with you from the first conversation. We quote a fixed price with the hidden costs included, not a headline figure that grows once work starts. We size the system to your consumption, not to fill the roof and export power cheaply. We model returns conservatively and explain the assumptions. If your roof needs replacing first, we tell you and price it transparently rather than discovering it mid-project. Our aim is a system that performs for 25 years and an operator who recommends us for the next site, which is how a specialist business actually grows.
