Commercial Solar for Energy-Heavy Operations
York supports a strong mix of commercial, industrial and logistics activity, with areas such as Clifton Moor, Monks Cross and York Business Park home to warehouses, offices, retail units and other energy-intensive operations. With many businesses using significant electricity during working hours, commercial solar PV and battery storage can provide a practical way to reduce energy costs and lower reliance on grid power.

Battery storage installation
Boost Commercial Solar Output with Battery Storage
Commercial solar generates power during daylight hours, though many York businesses keep drawing electricity well into the evening. Battery storage holds onto unused solar energy for later use, cutting reliance on the grid. We plan and fit commercial solar and battery systems for businesses across York, tailored to each site’s energy use and operating hours.

York Commercial Solar FAQs
Can you install commercial solar panels on a leased business property in York?
Yes, but you may need approval from the landlord, freeholder or management company before work begins. Commercial leases can contain restrictions or responsibilities relating to roof alterations, so these should be checked before installation is agreed.
Will my York business need DNO approval for a commercial solar system?
Many larger commercial solar installations require approval from the local Distribution Network Operator before they can connect to the grid. Systems covered by G99 must follow the relevant connection process, and an export limit may sometimes be applied depending on local network capacity.
How do you know if my commercial roof can support solar panels?
The roof needs to be assessed for its condition, construction and ability to carry the additional load of the solar equipment. Building Regulations normally apply to rooftop solar, and strengthening may be required if the existing structure cannot safely support the proposed system.
Can commercial solar panels be installed on a flat roof in York?
Yes. Solar PV can be installed on many flat commercial roofs, provided the building and proposed layout are suitable. Planning rules set specific limits for roof-mounted equipment, including height and distance from roof edges, so the installation needs to be designed accordingly.
Could commercial solar panels affect my business rates?
Eligible plant and machinery used for on-site renewable electricity generation and storage currently benefits from business rates exemption in England until 31 March 2035. This can include rooftop solar panels and qualifying battery storage, although businesses should check how the rules apply to their individual property.
Can you install solar on a York business with a three-phase electricity supply?
Yes. Three-phase supplies are common at factories, warehouses and larger commercial premises and can accommodate commercial solar PV systems designed for the site’s electrical demand. The system size and grid-connection route will depend on the proposed generation capacity and existing supply arrangements, with larger systems generally falling under G99 requirements.
