Commercial Solar Panel Installation in Edinburgh and Scotland
Renew-Able Solutions designs and installs commercial solar PV and battery systems for suitable businesses, farms, offices, workshops, warehouses and other organisations across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Scotland.
Already have a commercial PV system? Explore our commercial solar servicing and maintenance, including electrical testing, internal thermography and drone thermal surveys.
Every project is assessed individually for electricity use, roof or land suitability, structure, electrical infrastructure, planning, grid connection, access and budget. Generation, savings, export income and payback depend on the final design and operating conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
Our Partners
Commercial Solar PV Design and Installation
We provide project-specific support from initial energy review and site assessment through system design, grid applications, quotation, installation, commissioning and handover. The required surveys, permissions, structural checks and specialist input depend on the building, project scale and proposed equipment.
Commercial Solar and Energy-System Options
The appropriate solution depends on the site, load profile, available space, electrical supply, export capacity and business objectives. We confirm the scope, assumptions and responsibilities before installation.
A completed integrated energy project in Scotland
Our documented 143kWp commercial installation combines 260 × 550W solar panels, 80kWh of battery storage and two 12kW wind turbines. See the project photographs and installation video. These are the installed specifications for that site; savings and payback for another business need a separate assessment.
What to prepare for your commercial assessment
Share your site postcode, roof ownership or landlord position, electricity bills and, where available, half-hourly consumption data. Tell us about planned EV charging or changes in demand so the proposal can account for them.
Use our commercial solar cost guide to compare proposal scope, then request a commercial solar assessment. The proposal should distinguish generation, on-site use, export assumptions, battery capacity, access work and ongoing maintenance.
Commercial Rooftop Solar PV
We design rooftop systems for suitable offices, workshops, warehouses, farms, schools and other commercial buildings. Roof condition, structure, access, fire strategy, shading, electrical infrastructure and planning constraints must be assessed.
Ground-Mounted and Larger-Site Solar
Ground-mounted solar may be considered where suitable land, access, planning, grid capacity and project economics allow. Larger projects can require specialist surveys, civil works, planning advice and grid studies beyond a standard rooftop installation.
Solar PV with Battery and Energy Controls
Battery storage, export limitation, monitoring, EV charging and other energy controls can be considered where compatible with the site and business load profile. Backup operation requires specific design and is not included automatically.
Commercial Solar with Sigenergy SigenStack Battery Storage
Turn commercial solar into a broader energy system with modular Sigenergy SigenStack storage. A suitable design can store surplus solar for later use, support selected demand peaks and provide backup when the required gateway and electrical arrangements are included.
SigenStack uses 12.06 kWh battery modules. Illustrative systems range from 48.24 kWh with four modules to 253.26 kWh with 21 modules, subject to the compatible inverter, controller and configuration. Multiple systems can serve larger projects. Total battery capacity, usable energy and power output are different figures, so we size them against your operating hours and electricity data.
Our detailed guide explains capacity choices, inverter power, runtime examples, larger systems, backup, costs and site requirements for Scottish businesses.

Discuss a Commercial Solar Project
Tell us the site postcode, business type, electricity use, supply details, available roof or land area, operating hours and project goals. We will review the initial information and explain the appropriate next survey or design stage.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Suitability depends on electricity use, operating hours, roof or land area, structure, shading, access, electrical supply, planning constraints, grid capacity and budget. We review these factors before recommending a system.
A well-matched system may reduce imported electricity, support carbon-reduction goals and improve visibility of energy use. The result depends on generation, self-consumption, tariffs, export arrangements, finance, maintenance and business operations; savings and payback are not guaranteed.
The building owner should check roof warranties, leases, lender requirements and insurance terms before work proceeds. We can provide relevant system and installation information, but acceptance and ongoing coverage are determined by the warranty provider, landlord, lender or insurer.
Service life varies by manufacturer, product, environment, loading, installation quality, maintenance and operating conditions. Panels, inverters, batteries and other components have different warranty periods and replacement expectations. We refer to the selected product documents rather than promising a fixed 25- or 30-year lifespan.
Availability and eligibility change over time and depend on the business, technology, location and scheme rules. We can provide project information for funding discussions, but finance, grants, tax treatment, capital allowances and accounting advice should be confirmed with the relevant provider or professional adviser.
