Commercial Solar Panels in Warwick
Free site survey, G99 DNO application handled in-house, and a written quote with no hidden costs for your Warwick business.
Warwick businesses and organisations face the same pressure as any UK operation: energy costs that eat into margins and an increasing expectation from customers, funders, and regulators to demonstrate a credible net-zero position. Commercial solar PV is one of the most practical steps you can take. Whether you run a warehouse on the Myton Road trading estate, manage a care home near Leek Wootton, or oversee a school in the CV34 area, a well-designed roof or ground-mounted array can generate a meaningful share of your daytime electricity consumption on-site.
We are MCS-certified solar installers based in Redditch, roughly 35 minutes from Warwick via the A4189 through Henley-in-Arden. We handle everything from the initial roof and consumption survey through to the DNO G99 application for installs over 30 kWp, commissioning, and handover with full documentation. You deal with one company throughout, not a main contractor who subcontracts the electrical work to someone you have never met.
What's included
Every Warwick job includes.
A full site survey covering roof structure, orientation, shading, existing electrical infrastructure, and grid connection capacity, so your quote is based on your actual building rather than a generic template.
Detailed system design showing panel layout, inverter selection, and estimated annual generation figures matched to your metered consumption data.
All structural and electrical installation work carried out by our own NAPIT-registered engineers, with MCS certification covering the completed system.
G99 DNO application prepared and submitted in-house for systems over 30 kWp, including all supporting technical documentation required by your distribution network operator.
Commissioning, system testing, and a full handover pack covering warranties, monitoring setup, O&M guidance, and the MCS certificate you need for any Smart Export Guarantee application.
Written ESG and net-zero contribution summary suitable for use in annual reports, planning submissions, or grant applications, supplied at no extra charge with your commissioning documents.
Local knowledge
Commercial Solar in Warwick.
Warwick sits in the CV34 and CV35 postcode area, with a town centre that is tightly constrained by its designation as a historic environment around the castle and castle grounds. For commercial solar purposes, the listed and conservation-area buildings in the town centre are rarely viable without a Listed Building Consent application, and even then only where panels cannot be seen from the public realm. That constraint is real, but it applies to a relatively small proportion of Warwick's commercial building stock. The majority of the businesses we survey here operate from modern or post-war premises on the fringes of the town where no such restrictions apply.
The industrial and business estates around the Myton Road corridor, the Warwick Technology Park near Gallows Hill, and the distribution units on the edges of Hatton Park are exactly the kind of buildings that suit commercial solar well. They typically have large, flat or shallowly-pitched roofs with straightforward access, south or south-west orientations, and three-phase electrical supplies that can accept a larger array without expensive grid reinforcement. Care homes and schools in the Leek Wootton and Myton areas often have similar roof profiles and operate during daylight hours, meaning a high proportion of generation is consumed directly on-site rather than exported at a lower rate.
Warwickshire as a county receives a respectable solar resource by UK standards, broadly comparable to the East Midlands average. The relatively open agricultural landscape around Warwick means there is little urban shading, and south-facing commercial rooftops here can expect strong generation performance across the spring-to-autumn period. Ground-mounted systems are also viable on larger rural sites in the CV35 area where a business occupies an agricultural or semi-rural plot, subject to permitted development or planning permission depending on the scale and visibility of the installation.
Why Warwick
Why Warwick chooses us.
Warwick businesses choose us because we handle the technical and administrative complexity in-house, rather than passing it to third parties who add time and uncertainty.
MCS certification covers the full installation, which is a requirement for Smart Export Guarantee eligibility and many commercial green energy grant schemes. You receive the certificate as part of your standard handover pack.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians as well as solar installers. The electrical design, distribution board work, and metering are all done by our own engineers under our own registration, not subcontracted out.
G99 DNO applications for systems over 30 kWp are prepared and submitted by us. We know what Western Power Distribution requires and we compile the paperwork correctly the first time, avoiding the delays that come with incomplete submissions.
Every quote is free, written, itemised, and based on a physical survey of your site. There are no hidden costs, no variation orders for work that should have been scoped at the outset, and no pressure to sign before you are ready.
We carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance, and all systems come with an IWA insurance-backed guarantee, so your investment is protected beyond the standard manufacturer warranty period.
How it works
From enquiry to job done.
- 01Postcode check
Enter your CV34 or CV35 postcode and we confirm coverage within a few minutes. Warwick falls comfortably within our 50-mile radius from Redditch. If your site is on the rural fringes of CV35, we confirm this at this stage before you invest any further time.
- 02Free site survey
One of our engineers visits your premises to assess roof structure, orientation, shading, existing electrical supply, metering arrangement, and grid connection capacity. For larger sites we also review your consumption data so the system is sized to your actual load profile rather than a rule-of-thumb figure.
- 03Written quote issued
We produce a detailed, itemised written quote covering all equipment, installation labour, DNO application fees where applicable, and commissioning. No hidden costs, no provisional sums. You receive this typically within a few working days of the survey.
- 04Date booked
Once you approve the quote, we agree an installation date that works around your business operations. For larger Warwick sites requiring scaffolding or roof access equipment, we coordinate logistics in advance so there is minimal disruption to your staff or customers.
- 05Job done, photos sent
We complete the installation, commission the system, and test all electrical connections and monitoring. You receive before and after photographs, the full MCS certificate, warranty documentation, G99 approval paperwork where applicable, and an ESG contribution summary for your records.

Pairs well with.
A battery system paired with your solar array lets you store generation that would otherwise be exported and use it during evening peak hours or overnight. For care homes and businesses with extended operating hours, this significantly improves the proportion of self-consumed solar energy.
Many Warwick businesses are adding EV charge points to meet staff and fleet demand. Installing EV infrastructure at the same time as your solar system lets us design a single electrical scheme that routes solar generation directly into vehicle charging, reducing grid draw.
Rooftop access for panel installation is a practical opportunity to run CCTV infrastructure at the same time. For business parks and schools, combining both installs reduces scaffold costs and minimises disruption to daily operations.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Warwick.
If your premises fall within Warwick's conservation area or involve a listed building, you will need to check with Warwick District Council before any installation. Permitted development rights for solar are removed on listed buildings, and even non-listed buildings in a designated area may require prior approval. We can help you identify the correct application route before you commit.
Large commercial systems over 50 kWp typically require a formal G99 application to Western Power Distribution (now National Grid Electricity Distribution), which can add several weeks to the project timeline. We submit and manage this process in-house, but it is worth factoring the lead time into your project plan, particularly if you have a financial year-end or grant deadline to meet.
Flat-roofed buildings, which are common on Warwick's business parks, need a structural survey before ballasted mounting frames are installed. Most modern flat roofs are adequate, but older built-up felt or asphalt roofs may need remedial work first. We flag this at the survey stage so there are no surprises on the day.
FAQs
Warwick questions.
Is commercial solar worth it for a small business in Warwick?
For most businesses that occupy their own premises and operate during daylight hours, a well-sized solar array will offset a meaningful share of daytime electricity consumption. The actual return depends on your roof area, orientation, shading, and how much electricity you consume during the day. We calculate this properly during the free survey using your actual metered consumption data, so the figure in your quote reflects your building and your usage, not a generic industry average. We do not quote numbers before a survey because a figure without a site assessment is not worth acting on.
How long does a commercial solar installation take in Warwick?
The installation itself typically takes between one and several days depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the roof. The longer part of the timeline for larger systems is the G99 DNO application, which is required for installs over 30 kWp and is submitted to National Grid Electricity Distribution. That process can take several weeks from submission to approval. We submit the application in-house and manage the correspondence, but we make the lead time clear in your quote so you can plan around any financial year or grant deadline. Smaller systems under 30 kWp can generally be installed and commissioned more quickly.
Do I need planning permission for commercial solar panels in Warwick?
For most commercial buildings outside Warwick's conservation area and listed building designations, solar panels fall under permitted development, meaning no formal planning application is needed. However, if your premises are within the historic centre, are listed, or are in a designated area, permitted development rights may be removed or restricted. We check this as part of the survey process and advise you on the correct route before any work is agreed. If consent is required, we can help you understand what is needed, though the application itself sits with your planning consultant or directly with Warwick District Council.
What is G99 and do you handle the DNO application?
G99 is the technical standard that governs how larger solar systems connect to the public electricity network. Any system over 30 kWp requires a formal G99 application to your distribution network operator before the system can be energised and export power to the grid. We prepare and submit this application in-house, including all the technical documentation required. Some installers treat this as an optional extra or pass it to the client to manage; we include it as part of our standard service for any qualifying system. If your site is in Warwick, your DNO is National Grid Electricity Distribution.
Can you install solar on a flat roof on a Warwick business park?
Yes. Flat roofs are very common on the business parks and industrial estates around Myton and Warwick Technology Park, and they suit ballasted mounting systems well. We carry out a structural survey as part of the site visit to confirm the roof can carry the additional load. Most modern flat roofs are suitable, but older surfaces may need attention before installation. We flag any remedial work clearly in the quote so you are not surprised later. Ballasted systems require no roof penetrations, which also means the roof warranty is easier to maintain.
Do you offer commercial solar with battery storage for businesses in Warwick?
Yes, and it is worth considering at the design stage rather than retrospectively. Pairing a battery system with your solar array means generation that exceeds your daytime consumption can be stored and used during the evening or overnight rather than exported at the lower Smart Export Guarantee rate. For care homes, hospitality businesses, and any operation running outside standard office hours, this significantly improves the financial case for the whole installation. We design the solar and battery system together as a single scheme so the inverter, battery, and distribution board work are all sized correctly from the outset.

Our commitment
We limit the number of commercial installations we take on at any one time. That is not a sales line; it is how we maintain the standard of work our engineers are prepared to put their names to. A larger system with a G99 application and bespoke electrical design needs proper attention at every stage. We would rather do fewer jobs well than stretch our engineers across too many sites simultaneously.
