Screen the site
Annual use, operating hours, roof area, connection, ownership and commercial goals establish whether the fundamentals align.
For high-energy-use businesses
Make your roof work as hard as your business.
A structured first review for commercial sites where daytime electricity use is a significant operating cost.
Where the fit is strongest
High usage matters—but the shape of that usage matters more.
A promising site usually combines usable roof area with meaningful daytime demand, a suitable connection and the authority to make a long-term property decision.
- The business owns the site, or has a long lease and landlord consent.
- Power is used while solar is generating: production, cooling, kitchens, offices or EV charging.
- Twelve months of bills—and ideally half-hourly data—are available.
- The roof has useful life remaining and no unresolved structural or asbestos issue.
- Decision-makers, investment route and preferred timing are clear.

Commercial energy opportunity review
A decision pathway, not an instant industrial quote.
The first review should show whether deeper modelling and a site survey are justified.
Match the demand
Half-hourly data reveals how much generation can be used on site and when storage, export or load shifting deserves attention.
Choose the next step
A focused site survey, a request for missing data or a clear “not yet”—before time is spent on a premature design.

Commercial questions
What the first result can—and cannot—tell you.
No. Roof area can indicate possible scale, but a firm proposal also depends on structure, access, electrical work, connection limits, product design, load profile and commercial requirements.
Annual totals hide when electricity is used. Half-hourly data helps match generation to demand and prevents an attractive-looking annual calculation from masking poor self-consumption.
No. Storage should solve a defined problem—load shifting, peak management, resilience or export constraints—and be sized from the site’s real profile. The residential 8.3 kWh option is not applied to commercial sites.
