Commercial Solar

UK electricity prices have been elevated and can be volatile. The UK is a world leader in having some of the highest energy costs globally, which is a massive drag on the economy. Installing a well-designed solar PV system will help you take control by generating clean power on site-reducing your reliance on the grid and protecting against future price rises.

Managing Energy Costs with On-Site Solar

Installing solar will reduce your overheads and running costs: electric at a fraction of the cost you currently pay, and with a 30 year performance warranty you have secure stable supply free from any price rises!

Add a battery to that system and you will further increase independence from the grid.

Illustrative Commercial Example

Here's an example to show how a typical small commercial system works. It's for illustration only-not a guarantee of performance or savings.

  • Site: Engineering workshop in County Fermanagh
  • System size: Approx. 50 kWp rooftop PV
  • Objective: Maximise on-site daytime consumption; export surplus under an applicable export scheme
  • Design approach: Array sized to weekday load profile; monitoring for verification and optimisation

Assumptions for Illustration

  • Annual specific yield: 900–1,000 kWh/kWp (orientation/shading dependent)
  • Self-consumption: 60–85% of generation used on site during operating hours
  • Degradation: ~0.5% per year after year 1
  • O&M: Periodic inspections, monitoring, and inverter replacement allowance in later years
  • Tariffs: Import and export rates based on the client's contracted terms
  • We model energy flows, cash-flow timing, and sensitivities (±10% usage, tariff, irradiance)

What You Get from Apollo Solar

  • Compliance: RECC-aligned proposals and documentation for informed decision-making
  • Financial summary: Estimated bill reduction and payback range based on your usage profile
  • Transparent assumptions: Clear inputs for tariffs, export rates, maintenance, and performance
  • Site-specific design: Layout, expected generation, and shading analysis

Key benefits

  • RECC-aligned proposals
  • 50 kWp+ commercial systems
  • 60–85% self-consumption typical
  • Transparent financial modelling
