How savings work
What Decides Your Business Savings
Every site is different, so we do not publish savings figures or prices. Your survey and written quote set out the numbers for your site, based on these four factors.
Daytime usage
The more electricity you use while the sun is up, the more solar you use directly on site.
Your tariff
A higher unit rate means each kilowatt-hour you generate yourself is worth more to you.
Roof or ground space
Available area, direction, pitch and shading set how large a system your site can carry.
Export
Surplus power can be sold back to the grid. Export rates are set by each supplier and can change.

FAQ
Commercial and Farm Solar Questions
Can solar panels work for a business in Aberdeen?
Yes. Most businesses use the bulk of their electricity during daylight hours, which is when solar panels generate. In Aberdeen, a well-sited system still produces useful power through the year, with most output from spring to early autumn. A site survey confirms how much of your demand a system could cover.
Can you install solar panels on a farm building or in a field?
Yes. Barns, sheds, grain stores and other agricultural buildings often have large roofs that suit solar, and ground-mounted arrays can work where there is spare land with good sun. Our MCS-certified installation partner checks the roof structure, ground conditions, shading and grid connection during the site survey.
How do businesses save money with solar and batteries?
Savings come from using the electricity you generate instead of buying it from the grid. How much you save depends on your daytime usage, your tariff, the roof or ground space available and the rate you receive for exported power. A battery can store surplus solar for later use or shift usage away from peak rates.
Do you install EV charging and heat pumps for larger buildings?
Yes. Alongside commercial solar PV and battery storage, we arrange EV charge points for staff, fleet and visitor parking, and heat pumps sized for larger buildings such as offices, schools and community halls. These can be designed together with solar, so more of the electricity they use comes from your own roof.
How can my business pay for a solar installation?
You can pay outright or spread the cost. Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Your written quote sets out the full system cost and the payment options available, so you can compare them before deciding. Nothing goes ahead until you have reviewed the quote and agreed to proceed.

Common questions
Can I get solar panels for my farm in Aberdeenshire?
Yes. We arrange solar PV quotes for farms across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including rooftop installations on farm buildings and ground-mounted systems where suitable. A site survey looks at your roof or land, electricity usage and tariff, then you receive a written, no-obligation quote.
How does commercial battery storage work?
A commercial battery stores surplus solar electricity so you can use it when your panels are not generating, such as evenings or peak tariff periods. This reduces the amount of electricity you buy from the grid and can lower demand charges. The right battery size depends on your usage pattern.
Do I need grid approval for a commercial solar system?
Systems up to 3.68 kW per phase connect under the G98 process, where the installer notifies SSEN after installation. Larger commercial systems need G99 approval from SSEN before work begins. Your installation partner handles this paperwork for you.
