Things to Consider
A commercial solar project is an investment. Here are key factors we help you plan for:
- Roof condition & structural integrity - ensuring your roof can support a solar array.
- Grid capacity & connection - liaising with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to secure approval.
- Installation disruption - we minimise downtime and schedule work around your operations.
- Planning permissions - most projects fall under permitted development, but we manage applications when required.
- Ownership & tenancy - if you lease your property, landlord consent is required.
- Financial payback - solar delivers long-term ROI; we provide modelling to help make the business case.


Finance & Funding Options
A commercial solar project is an investment. Here are key factors we help you plan for:
- Capital purchase - own your system outright and benefit from the full savings.
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) - pay nothing upfront; instead, buy the electricity your system generates at a lower rate than the grid.
- Lease finance - spread the cost of your system over manageable terms.
- Grants & incentives - where available, we’ll advise on government or local funding opportunities.
By tailoring finance options to your needs, we make solar a practical investment for businesses of all sizes.

What Our Clients Say
We recently had solar panels, a battery system, and an EV charger installed by this company and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the very start they were professional, helpful, and kept us informed throughout the process.
The installation work was brilliant — everything was completed neatly and tidily, and the team clearly took pride in their work. Communication was excellent at every stage, so we always knew what was happening and when.
The aftercare has also been fantastic. They took the time to go over everything properly once the install was complete and helped us get set up and working smoothly.
Really pleased with the whole experience and would happily recommend them to anyone considering solar, battery storage, or an EV charger installation.
We looked at installing solar panels for both our home and business and carried out extensive research before choosing Synergy. From the initial survey through to installation, the team were professional, knowledgeable, and completely reliable throughout the entire process.
They explained everything clearly, including panel performance, battery storage, and projected savings, without any pressure or hard sell. The installation was completed efficiently and to a very high standard, with excellent communication throughout.
The pricing was very reasonable and the system has performed brilliantly since installation. A first class company delivering first class service from start to finish.
Contacted Synergy to discuss solar and electric vehicle charging solutions. They were great offering genuine advice and advising to wait until our re-roof is completed before adding solar panels (the roof is very old and has very brittle old tiles).
They clearly put their customers first and give advice thats right for them instead of just pressurising to get the sale.
They completed the install of the EV charger and were on time and efficient and their pricing was competative.
Cant wait to get them back in for our solar syetem when the time is right. Would highly recommend these guys – decent honest company 👌
We already have solar panels and a very old wet cell battery backup, so we discussed all the various options, including a replacement battery backup.
Alex is very knowledgeable, but not at all pushy. He explained everything in a language we understood, and we decided on a Sigenergy Sigenstor 10kWh battery.
Currently one of the best systems on the market. The Sigenergy app is really good too allowing you to watch your usage in real-time.
A special thanks to Reece and Zach who completed the installation in one day.
All works were completed to our satisfaction with very neat cable runs.
We would not hesitate in recommending Alex and his team at Synergy PV Renewables.
Thanks guys
Worked with Alex on 3 projects now and he’s always very professional and the workmanship is spot on. Can’t recommend him and his team enough.
We had Synergy Renewables install a 38-panel solar system on our small commercial office unit and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The install was clean, tidy, and completely seamless in a working office environment. Alex made the return on investment very clear from day one, and after seeing the first and second month’s energy bills, it’s clearly on track — if not better — than predicted. A very solid business investment and a company I’d happily recommend
Loved working with Alex and team, they are so knowledgeable and helpful. Installation of our solar panels was perfect, quick and tidy. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
We recently had Synergy PV Renewables installing 12 panels to our rear-facing roof. When working in the roof, the guys managed to knock a plumbing joint, which unfortunately caused a leak through the bedroom ceiling. Accidents happen, but what really impressed us was how quickly and professionally the team dealt with it.
Within hours, a building team arrived, repaired the plumbing, patched and repainted the ceiling, and made everything good again — all in the same day. They even came back the next day to apply a second coat of paint to make it perfect.
What could have been a disaster was turned around brilliantly thanks to their honesty, speed, and workmanship. You really see a company’s true quality in how they handle problems, and Synergy PV Renewables proved themselves first-class.
Alex and Reece did a top quality job for us. Installed solar panels and battery after careful and professional consultation taking into account our budget, our requirements and what best suited the site. Thoroughly recommended.
Alex, Reece and the team were excellent in handling the integration of our multiple energy systems changes (battery, solar, old solar integration, ASHP integration, house system and main fuse upgrades). Faultless and fun!

We partner with leading manufacturers and adhere to strict industry standards, ensuring every installation is safe, reliable, and built to last.














Frequently Asked Questions
What is the potential saving for a commercial solar system?
Commercial solar systems typically offer a significantly faster Return on Investment (ROI) than residential installations. Due to higher daytime electricity consumption, UK businesses often save 40% to 70% on operational electricity costs. The exact ROI is driven by your facility’s energy demand, the system size (kWp/MWp), and your current tariff. Synergy PV Renewables provides a detailed financial projection and ROI analysis as part of our free commercial survey.
What is the expected payback period for a commercial solar investment?
Most commercial sites achieve a payback period between 5 and 8 years. This is often quicker than residential due to greater consumption during peak generation hours, maximising the use of free, self-generated electricity. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for commercial solar projects often exceeds 10%, making it a robust financial investment.
What is the typical investment cost for a commercial solar PV system?
Investment costs vary widely based on the required system size (from tens of kW up to multi-MW installations), roof structure, and whether large-scale battery storage is integrated. While costs are higher than residential, the cost per watt decreases with system size due to economies of scale. We provide a fixed, transparent quotation after a comprehensive site assessment and will detail the total investment required.
Do you offer financing or PPA options for commercial solar projects?
Yes. Synergy PV Renewables can support with a range of commercial finance options, including leasing, hire purchase, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). These solutions allow businesses to install a system with minimal or zero upfront capital and often achieve positive cash flow from day one, meaning the system’s savings can cover the monthly finance repayments.
How long is the installation process for a commercial solar PV system?
A standard commercial rooftop installation typically takes between one to four weeks, depending on the system’s size and complexity. For very large-scale or ground-mount projects, this duration can be longer. We conduct all work with meticulous planning to ensure minimal disruption to your business operations, site access, and daily workflow.
Can commercial EV charging infrastructure be integrated with the solar system?
Absolutely. We install scalable EV charging solutions that can be fully integrated with your solar PV system. This allows businesses to power company fleets and provide charging for employees or customers using self-generated, clean energy, dramatically cutting running costs per mile.
Does commercial solar increase the value and energy rating of a business property?
We only install Tier-1 commercial equipment. Solar panels typically come with a 25-year performance warranty and are designed to last 30+ years. Commercial inverters usually carry a 10 to 15-year warranty, often with options for extension. Our focus on premium equipment ensures long-term reliability and minimal maintenance downtime for your business.
What is the expected lifespan and warranty for commercial-grade solar equipment?
Yes. Installing solar is a significant asset upgrade. It improves your building’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which is becoming increasingly critical for commercial property rental and sales. Solar panels are a powerful way to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, which enhances your corporate social responsibility (CSR) profile and appeals to modern business tenants.
Environmental & Business Impact
Every kilowatt of solar you install reduces reliance on fossil fuels and cuts carbon emissions. For businesses, this means:
- Stronger sustainability reporting for stakeholders.
- Alignment with Net Zero and ESG frameworks.
- Tangible contributions to the UK’s renewable energy transition.
