Your roof produces electricity in daylight.
The amount depends on the available roof, orientation, shading and the system design.

COMMERCIAL SOLAR, DESIGNED AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
Make your roof work
harder for your business.
Reduce the electricity you buy from the grid with commercial solar designed around your building, daytime demand and long-term plans. EPC takes you from the first assessment to installation and handover.
A clear first conversation. No obligation to proceed.
Commercial solar in plain English
Before choosing panels, understand when your
business uses power.
Solar panels make electricity during daylight. The value to your business depends on how much of that power you can use on site, when you need it and what happens to any surplus.
EPC looks at your roof and electricity-use pattern together, then explains the practical options without starting from a standard package.
02 · Use
Your business uses on-site solar first.
Matching generation to your working hours and demand can reduce the electricity you need to buy from the grid.
03 · Plan ahead
Surplus power needs a sensible route.
Depending on the site, it may be exported or battery storage may be worth considering. EPC checks those options in the assessment.
Start with a free desktop assessment
Know if it is worth doing
before you commit.
Tell us about your building and electricity use. EPC starts with a practical desktop review, then explains whether a technical site survey is the sensible next step.
Your site
Roof area, condition, access, shading and electrical infrastructure.
Your demand
Daytime electricity use, operating hours and future energy plans.
Your options
Potential system size, generation, self-use, export and funding routes.
Your next step
A clear recommendation, with assumptions and any technical checks still needed.
Why businesses consider solar
More value from the roof
you already have.
Lower imported electricity. More predictable costs.
Savings and payback examples are not guarantees. EPC calculates a site-specific proposal using your electricity data, roof and project costs.
:no_upscale())
Up to 70%potential electricity savings
Lower electricity costs
A well-matched system can reduce daytime electricity costs, especially when your business uses power while the panels are generating.
:no_upscale())
Under 5 yearspotential payback on suitable sites
A clear commercial return
Strong sites with good roof space, high daytime use and suitable tariffs can often target a return inside five years, subject to site-specific design.
:no_upscale())
Lower carbonless purchased grid electricity
Support your sustainability goals
Reduce purchased grid electricity, improve carbon reporting and support a stronger ESG profile for clients, tenders and stakeholders.

Long-termvalue from unused roof space
A productive energy asset
A designed commercial solar system can add long-term value to the building by turning unused roof space into a productive energy asset.

Costs and funding
Choose the route that suits
your cash flow.
Compare ownership, monthly cost, savings and long-term responsibility alongside the installation price.
01Own the system
Capital purchase
Keep the long-term savings
Pay for the installation upfront and own the energy asset. This route suits businesses looking to retain more of the long-term saving.
Available tax or capital allowance treatment may help the commercial case, subject to advice.
02Spread the investment
Asset finance
Put solar to work while spreading the cost
Spread the project cost over time while the system starts reducing imported electricity.
Compare repayments against projected energy savings and consider the total cost over the agreement. Finance is subject to approval and lender terms.
Finance is subject to approval and lender terms. Tax and capital allowance treatment depends on your business; seek advice from your accountant.
Power Purchase Agreement
Solar without the
upfront capital purchase.
A PPA can let an eligible business buy electricity from an on-site solar system at an agreed rate while a third party owns and maintains it.
Contract length, savings and end-of-term options depend on the site, usage and proposal.
Buildings and sectors
Different buildings.
Different energy patterns.
EPC designs around the real site and how it is used. Explore the types of commercial property we can assess.
Factories, warehouses and industrial buildings often have large roof areas and high electricity consumption. That makes them strong candidates for commercial solar panel installation, helping businesses generate power on site and reduce dependence on grid electricity.
One partner. One process.
One experienced team,
from feasibility to handover.
When you choose EPC, you gain a dedicated partner to manage each stage of your commercial solar project. One team keeps the work joined up, from the first site review through to installation, monitoring and aftercare.
A coordinated approach means clearer decisions, less risk and a system designed to deliver long-term value for your business.
Site assessment & financial projections
We review your building and electricity use, then model likely generation, self-use, costs and payback before recommending a route.
