Commercial Solar Panels in Evesham

Yes, the Vale of Evesham is one of the stronger solar-yield locations in Worcestershire. The flat terrain means most commercial rooftops have unobstructed south or south-west facing planes, and the region receives marginally more solar irradiance per year than the Midlands average. For businesses with significant daytime electricity consumption, such as cold-store operators, food producers, care homes, or schools, the combination of good yield and high self-consumption makes a well-designed system genuinely cost-effective. We model expected output against your actual consumption data as part of the free survey, so you see the real numbers for your site before committing.

We do not publish price lists because every commercial site is different. System size, roof type, mounting method, grid connection complexity, and whether battery storage or additional electrical work is included all affect the final figure. What we can promise is a free, fully written, itemised quote after a site survey, with no hidden costs and no obligation to proceed. The quote will include a projected payback calculation specific to your site. Call us on 01527 337155 or fill in the enquiry form to arrange your free survey.

G99 is the engineering recommendation that governs how larger solar PV systems connect to the public electricity network. If your installation is over 16 A per phase export capacity, which in practice means most commercial systems above roughly 10-11 kWp, you need at minimum a G99 notification. Installs above 30 kWp typically require full G99 approval from your distribution network operator before commissioning. The process involves submitting technical documentation and waiting for DNO sign-off, which can take several weeks. We handle the entire application in-house, prepare all documentation, and manage the correspondence, so you do not need to engage with the DNO directly.

Permitted development rights allow many commercial solar installations without a full planning application, but the thresholds depend on system size, roof type, and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Installations over 50 kWp generally require planning permission. Parts of Evesham town centre fall within or adjacent to the conservation area, where additional considerations apply. We review permitted development eligibility as part of the survey process and advise you clearly on what approvals are needed before any design work is finalised, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Lead time from survey to installation depends on system size, DNO application requirements, and our current schedule. For straightforward sites under 30 kWp that fall within permitted development, the process from survey to commissioning is typically a matter of weeks. Larger systems requiring G99 approval need the DNO sign-off period factored in, which can extend the timeline by several weeks depending on the network operator's workload. We will give you a realistic project timeline in the quote so you can plan accordingly, and we will not book an installation date until the DNO position is confirmed.

Yes, and it is often worth designing for both from the outset rather than retrofitting later. Battery storage improves self-consumption for businesses with evening or overnight loads, which is common among care homes, cold-store operators, and hospitality venues in the Evesham area. EV charge points fed from solar generation reduce fleet and staff charging costs. Combining these in a single project means the electrical infrastructure is sized and laid out correctly from day one, avoiding duplicated work.
