Solar Panel FAQs
Do you still have questions about installing solar panels on your commercial property?
Look below for some of the most frequent questions we are asked by new owners and commercial solar energy users.
On average, commercial solar panels cost between ┬г15,000 – ┬г70,000 for small to medium-sized businesses. The price depends on roof size, energy produced, and number of panels used.
Commercial solar panels are typically larger than residential ones. They average at 77 inches by 39 inches, compared to roughly 66 inches by 40 inches for residential panels. However, the size can vary depending on the specific needs of the business.
Manufacturers design commercial solar panels to last for a long time. Most companies guarantee their panels for 25 years. However, itтАЩs important to note that the efficiency of solar panels slightly decreases each year. After 25 years, good solar panels will retain about 85-90% of their original efficiency.
The energy produced by a commercial solar panel depends on its size and the available sunlight. Most solar panels on todayтАЩs market usually produce between 250 and 400 Watts of power. A regular solar system with 30 panels can produce plenty of electricity each year to cover all your power needs. However, this can vary based on factors like shading, orientation, and sun hours.
The answer is, in most cases, no. In the UK, most commercial solar panel installations meet the requirements for Permitted Development. This means you can carry out certain building works and changes of use without having to make a planning application.
But there are restrictions on development rights to safeguard communities and local amenities from potential negative effects of specific projects. For example, there would be strict limits on any proposed solar projects around historic buildings like churches.
To qualify as permitted development, solar panels still have to meet certain conditions. Commercial solar panels on roofs or walls should not stick out more than 200mm from the surface. You must position the panels at least 1m away from the edges of both pitched and flat roofs. You should also place them at least 1m away from the wall joint they rest on.
It’s a good idea to learn about the rules and talk to your local planning authority. Staying informed is important, even if you don’t need permission. If you’re unsure, seeking guidance can be helpful.
This ensures your solar panel project follows local rules and avoids future problems. So, while planning permission may not be a hurdle, itтАЩs always best to check and proceed with caution.

COMMERCIAL SOLAR PANEL INSTALLERS CARDIFF | NEWPORT | SOUTH WALES
Posted on Robert Pannell I am very pleased with the product ,the installation and the team from the sales to the great lads that took there time to explain every detail of this installation and how to monitor and use it.The price was fair but the organisation and delivery of the product was excellent,would definitely recommend and use them again.Posted on Fredrik Two of my student properties have had a new roof, solar panels and batteries installed by Green Energy Solar, and we've been very happy with their work. I highly recommend them as a company.Posted on Shaun Dore Absolutely delighted with the service and high standard of work from Joel, Steve and the Green Energy Solar team! From initial enquiry through to technical installation this company has been super impressive. We wanted to maximise our home battery storage and having not had the best experience with our previous solar installation we found Green Enegy Solar through Telsa as they are authorised Telsa installers. We spoke to John on the phone initially who gave us immediate confidence that this company knew what they were doing and how to do it properly. We ended up getting a couple of other quotes and Green Energy Solar were competitive with their pricing. Installation was completed over two consecutive days by Joel and Steve who were absolutely superb! Professional, neat, tidy and knew what they were doing inside out. They worked non stop for the two days with what was an awkward cable routing from the front of house in the garage all the way to the back of the house to site the batteries on an external wall as we had asked. We were so happy with how neat tidy the electrics and installation all was. So refreshing after the sloppy installation that our previous installer had left. Green Energy Solar rectified all the issues and tidied up our whole battery electrics set up as well as adding the battery expansion units. We couldn't be any happier and massive thank you to John, Joel and Steve. We wouldn't look any further for any future solar, home battery work. This company is simply the best and we can recommend them absolutely! Photos below show before and after.Posted on Sharon Angell I had solar panels with batteries installed. The company handled this in a very timely manner. I did not feel pressured to buy and all my questions were answered promptly. Scaffolding was erected one day and panels installed the next. The fitters arrived at 8am and were done by early pm. They were very engaging whilst here answering question and explaining things. I would highly recommend the companyPosted on Joseph Hayden Installed 52 solar panels on our roof. Very good system and after sales is second to none. Even solved issues which were not of their making - excellent outfit.Posted on Mark Powney I recently had a solar system and Tesla Powerwall 3 installed by Green Energy Solar, and I couldnтАЩt be happier with the experience. The three man installation team, Lee, Jack, and Billy were absolutely phenomenal. They worked incredibly hard and demonstrated a real eye for detail. They truly went above and beyond when it came to the aesthetics of the job, ensuring all internal cabling was neatly hidden away and leaving a perfectly clean finish inside the house. They also gave me loads of great advice regarding the external cables leading to the Powerwall on my garage. Their expertise and professional approach made the entire process seamless. Based on my experience with them, I highly recommend Green Energy Solar for anyone looking for a high-quality, professional installation.Posted on Gavin Morgan Professional EV charger installation. Advised me on how it should be best installed to avoid cables showing. Great service all round.Posted on Andrew Gall I recently had my solar and battery system installed by Green Energy Solar, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. From the initial system quotation (including changes I requested), through surveys, to final completion, everything was handled professionally. I had numerous questions along the way and emailed John and the team several times. John took the time to call me personally to talk through the different system options, what was included in the quote, and even invited me to their facility to meet him and the team, which I really appreciated. During installation there was a variance in the number of panels that could be installed, but Lee, Jack, and Billy kept me fully informed throughout the process, including any changes. They went above and beyond to ensure the job was completed properly, and I was genuinely grateful for their effort. The team were friendly, polite, and professional throughout, and I wouldnтАЩt hesitate to recommend Green Energy Solar in the future.Posted on Elaine David I had my solar panel system installed yesterday by Green Energy Solar, and I couldnтАЩt be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the service was exemplary. Paul was thorough and knowledgeable when visiting to provide the quote, and everything was clearly explained with realistic generation assumptions and fair pricing. The scaffolding team were efficient and professional, and installation day itself ran seamlessly. A special thank you to Shay, Luke, and Dave тАФ they were amazing. Friendly, polite, professional, and incredibly hard-working. They did an excellent job and left everything tidy and well organised. I chose this company because they offered the longest inverter and battery warranty (15 years), which gave me real confidence in the systemтАЩs longevity. The smart tariff integration and app functionality are excellent and easy to use. Another big factor for me was that they employ all their design and installation teams in-house, which really shows in the quality and coordination of the work. They also provide remote system monitoring technology for the next five years, which gives great peace of mind knowing everything is being tracked and supported. The system installed includes 22 Aiko panels with an EcoFlow inverter and battery, and IтАЩm very impressed with the overall quality and workmanship. Highly recommended!Posted on Robert Mcdade Had a battery and solar fitted by this company and it was smooth and simple from start to finish. The tradesman were very professionalleft the area tidy when they had finished. Lee,Jack and Billy were a pleasure to deal with and are a great credit to Green Energy. Thanks for the excellent service.
