Commercial Solar Panels in Henley-in-Arden
Free site survey, MCS-certified installation, and G99 DNO applications handled in-house for businesses and organisations across Henley-in-Arden and Warwickshire.
Henley-in-Arden is a working market town as much as a historic one. Alongside the listed High Street there are commercial units, schools, care homes, and SMEs that carry real energy bills every month. A well-designed commercial solar PV system cuts those bills and feeds directly into your net-zero and ESG reporting with no guesswork involved.
We handle every stage in-house: free site survey, system design, MCS-certified installation, G99 DNO application for systems over 30 kWp, and commissioning. You get a single point of contact from first call to the day the system goes live. No subcontracted crews, no hand-offs, no surprises on the invoice.
What's included
Every Henley-in-Arden job includes.
A full free site survey covering roof or ground structure, orientation, shading analysis, and your current consumption profile, so the system is sized accurately before any contract is signed.
Detailed written system design showing panel layout, inverter specification, expected generation figures, and how the installation will be engineered sympathetically to your building type.
MCS-certified supply and installation of commercial-grade solar PV panels, mounting systems, inverters, and all associated DC and AC wiring to a NAPIT-registered standard.
G99 DNO application submitted and managed on your behalf for systems over 30 kWp, including all technical documentation required by your distribution network operator.
Full commissioning and handover pack: system performance data, warranty documentation, MCS certificate, and clear instructions for your facilities team or building manager.
Before and after photographs of the installation for your records, insurance, and ESG reporting, along with a site-specific return-on-investment projection based on your actual metered consumption.
Local knowledge
Commercial Solar in Henley-in-Arden.
Henley-in-Arden sits in the Arden landscape of north Warwickshire, a stretch of gently rolling farmland that gives most commercial rooftops a clear southern or south-western sky with minimal shading from surrounding buildings. That matters for solar yield: unobstructed rooflines here can generate strong annual output, and any system we design will be modelled on your specific orientation and local irradiance data rather than a national average.
The town's commercial property stock is varied. The High Street is one of the longest continuous stretches of medieval and Georgian listed frontage in England, and businesses trading from those buildings face genuine planning and conservation constraints. Historic England and Stratford-on-Avon District Council both take a close interest in any roof alteration on a listed or locally listed building, so solar on a High Street property requires a carefully worded application and, in many cases, a heritage impact statement. We know this territory and we design systems that can pass scrutiny: low-profile in-roof panels, sympathetic colour matching, and mounting approaches that avoid penetrating historic timbers where at all possible.
Modern commercial stock toward the Beaudesert end of the parish, and along the A3400 corridor, is a different proposition entirely. Light industrial units, agricultural buildings, care facilities, and newer retail premises in this area typically have large, flat or shallow-pitched roofs that are ideally suited to commercial PV at scale. These buildings often have the roof area to support systems well above the 30 kWp threshold that triggers a G99 DNO application, and we handle that entire process in-house. Schools and care homes in the wider Henley area are also strong candidates: high daytime electricity consumption aligns well with solar generation, and the ESG reporting value of a certified MCS installation is increasingly important for organisations under local authority or CQC oversight.
Why Henley-in-Arden
Why Henley-in-Arden chooses us.
Businesses in Henley-in-Arden choose us because we carry the accreditations, handle the paperwork, and do not hand the job off once it gets complicated.
MCS-certified for commercial solar PV, which is a requirement for any grid-connected system and for accessing available business energy schemes. Our certification covers the full scope of work, not just the panels.
NAPIT-registered electricians carry out all DC and AC electrical work on site. Commercial solar involves significant electrical infrastructure; having both the solar and electrical qualifications under one roof removes the coordination risk between separate contractors.
We manage G99 DNO applications in-house for systems over 30 kWp. Most installers refer this out or leave it to the client; we prepare, submit, and track the application as part of our standard service.
Fully insured for commercial work, with cover in place before we set foot on your site. We carry public liability and employer's liability insurance; details are available on request before you sign anything.
Free, written, itemised quotes with no hidden costs. Every quote follows a physical site survey. You see exactly what you are paying for before you commit, and the price on the survey report is the price you pay.
How it works
From enquiry to job done.
- 01Postcode check
Tell us your postcode and we confirm you are within our service area. Henley-in-Arden and the surrounding Warwickshire parishes fall comfortably within our 50-mile coverage from Redditch. We also confirm at this stage whether your building type is likely to need a heritage or planning review.
- 02Free site survey
We visit your premises at a time that suits your operations. We assess roof structure, orientation, shading, metered consumption data, existing distribution board capacity, and any heritage or planning constraints. There is no charge and no obligation for this visit.
- 03Written quote issued
We prepare a detailed written quote covering system design, panel and inverter specification, mounting approach, electrical works, G99 application if required, commissioning, and handover documentation. Every line is itemised. No hidden costs and no pressure to sign on the day.
- 04Date booked
Once you accept the quote, we agree an installation date that fits around your business operations. For larger systems or those needing DNO approval, we map the programme clearly so you know every milestone in advance.
- 05Job done, photos sent
We install, commission, and test the system fully. You receive before and after photographs, your MCS certificate, all warranty documentation, and a site-specific generation and return-on-investment report. Your facilities contact gets a clear handover briefing.

Often booked together
Pairs well with.
A battery system lets your business store surplus daytime generation and use it during evening peaks or overnight. For care homes and schools with extended operating hours in Henley-in-Arden, this dramatically improves self-consumption and accelerates your return on investment.
Commercial solar paired with EV chargers is increasingly common for Henley businesses with car parks or fleets. Solar generation offsets charging costs directly, and the two systems can be load-managed together to stay within your existing grid connection capacity.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Henley-in-Arden.
Listed building consent may be required before any solar installation on a Grade I or Grade II listed commercial property in Henley-in-Arden. Early pre-application advice from Stratford-on-Avon District Council can prevent delays; we can advise on the technical specifications needed to support a heritage-sensitive planning submission.
Commercial systems above 30 kWp require a G99 application to your distribution network operator before the system can be connected to the grid. The process involves technical sign-off and can add several weeks to the programme, so factoring this into your project timeline from the outset is important.
Flat or shallow-pitch commercial roofs common in newer Henley business premises must be assessed for structural load-bearing capacity before panels are specified. A ballasted mounting system reduces roof penetrations but adds weight; a penetrating system is lighter but requires a watertight membrane survey first.
FAQs
Henley-in-Arden questions.
Can you install commercial solar on a listed building in Henley-in-Arden?
Yes, but it requires careful planning. Listed building consent is almost certainly needed for any visible roof alteration on a Grade I or Grade II listed property. We design systems using low-profile or in-roof mounting, sympathetic panel finishes, and approaches that minimise impact on historic fabric. We can provide the technical drawings and specifications needed to support a heritage-sensitive planning application to Stratford-on-Avon District Council. We recommend starting the pre-application conversation with the council early, as consent timelines vary.
How much does commercial solar cost for a business in Henley-in-Arden?
Every commercial installation is different, so we do not publish price lists. System cost depends on roof area, the number of panels required, inverter specification, whether battery storage is included, the complexity of the electrical connection, and whether a G99 DNO application is needed. All of those factors are established during a free site survey. After the survey you receive a written, itemised quote with no hidden costs. There is no obligation to proceed, and the quote price is the price you pay. Call 01527 337155 to arrange your survey.
What is a G99 application and do I need one?
G99 is the technical standard that governs how generators above 16 A per phase connect to the UK distribution network. In practice, most commercial solar systems above 30 kWp require a G99 application to your distribution network operator before the system can be switched on. The application involves detailed engineering documentation, and the DNO has a statutory period to review it. We handle the full G99 process in-house as part of our commercial installation service, so you do not need to engage separately with your DNO or appoint a consultant.
How long does a commercial solar installation take from survey to switch-on?
For a straightforward system on a modern commercial roof without planning constraints, the survey-to-commission timeline is typically a few weeks once a date is agreed. For systems requiring a G99 DNO application, the DNO review period adds time to the programme and we factor this into the project schedule from the outset. Listed buildings with a planning application requirement will have a longer lead time governed by the council's determination period. We map the full programme clearly when we issue your quote so there are no surprises.
Can commercial solar help with ESG reporting for our organisation?
Yes, and this is increasingly a primary driver for schools, care homes, and SMEs in Warwickshire. An MCS-certified solar installation produces verified generation data that can be used directly in carbon reporting, Scope 2 emissions calculations, and sustainability disclosures. The MCS certificate and commissioning report we provide are the documentation your auditors or reporting framework will require. For organisations under CQC oversight or local authority governance, having a certified installation on record carries more weight than an uncertified one.
Do you install commercial solar on flat roofs at business premises near Henley-in-Arden?
Flat and shallow-pitch roofs are common on commercial and light industrial premises along the A3400 corridor and toward Beaudesert, and they are well suited to commercial PV. We assess the roof membrane condition, drainage, and load-bearing capacity during the free site survey. Ballasted mounting systems avoid most roof penetrations and are often preferred for flat roofs, but they add weight, so a structural check is part of our survey process. We specify the mounting approach that suits your roof type and confirm everything in writing before any work begins.
Our commitment
We take on a managed number of commercial projects each month so that every installation gets the engineering attention it needs. Commercial solar is not a job where corners can be cut without consequences: a poorly designed system underperforms for decades, and a DNO application with errors causes significant delays. Working at a considered pace means we deliver systems that perform to specification and pass every inspection first time.
Who we are
Djuka Electrics is based in Beoley, Redditch, and covers the wider Midlands including Warwickshire. We are MCS-certified for solar and NAPIT-registered for electrical work. Every installation is photographed and reviewed, and our completed commercial projects are available as references. Call us on 01527 337155 to arrange your free site survey.
