By generating clean electricity on-site, you can cut overheads, reduce carbon emissions, and protect your business from fluctuating energy prices, all while demonstrating a real commitment to sustainability.
At Eco Power Innovations, we design and install high-performance commercial solar systems tailored to your premises, budget, and goals. With over 15 years’ experience, we know how to deliver solutions that maximise efficiency, return on investment, and long-term reliability.
Commercial solar systems work in the same way as residential systems- they capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The key difference is scale: commercial buildings typically use far more energy, so systems are larger and designed to meet higher demand.
If your business wants to reduce electricity costs and carbon emissions, solar is an excellent investment. We’ll assess your energy usage, roof or site space, and budget to design a system that offers the best balance of performance, savings, and payback.
All of our solar PV systems are designed using Tier 1 solar panels, MCS-certified roof mounting systems, bird protection, and come complete with a high-performance inverter as standard. Customers can also choose to enhance their system with optional battery storage and an immersion controller (if applicable) for maximised energy efficiency.

An immersion controller diverts surplus solar energy to your hot water tank instead of sending it back to the grid.
This helps you:
Solar systems generate direct current (DC) electricity from sunlight, which is then converted by an inverter into alternating current (AC) – the type of electricity your business uses. The power can be used instantly, stored in batteries for later, or exported back to the grid to offset costs.
Lower electricity bills and operational costs Reduce carbon emissions and meet sustainability targets Gain protection from rising energy prices Gain protection from rising energy prices Improve your business’s green credentials Achieve a strong long-term return on investmentThe cost of commercial solar systems depends on the size of the system, your energy usage, and roof or site space. Prices vary widely, so we provide tailored quotes for each business to ensure you get a system that delivers maximum savings and value.
Most solar systems come with a 25 – 30-year warranty, guaranteeing to still be producing over 80% of their original output, and expected to operate well beyond that. While efficiency may slightly reduce over time, with regular maintenance, they can keep generating clean, renewable energy for decades.
Yes! Commercial solar systems can significantly reduce energy bills, provide a strong return on investment, and help your business cut carbon emissions. They also enhance your company’s sustainability credentials, showing customers and partners that you care about the environment.
In most cases, commercial solar systems are considered “permitted development” and don’t require planning permission. However, this can vary depending on your building type, location, or if it’s a listed property. We’ll guide you through any requirements during your site survey to ensure your installation is fully compliant.
Solar systems require very little maintenance. It’s a good idea to keep them clean and free from debris, and check occasionally for any visible damage. All our systems are remotely monitored via an app, so any performance issues can be identified quickly.
The required roof space depends on the size of the system you need to meet your energy goals. During a site survey, we measure your available roof area and recommend a system that maximises electricity generation while fitting your building’s layout.
Yes! Excess electricity generated by your solar system can be exported to the grid, allowing you to earn payments through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). This helps you maximise the value of your solar system and further reduce energy costs.
There are currently some loans and grants available in Scotland to help fund commercial solar installations depending on the type of business and circumstances. We can guide you through the options to find the best solution for your needs.
Commercial solar systems are generally similar in size to residential panels, usually around 1.7 – 2 meters long and 1 meter wide. The number of panels you need depends on your business’s energy requirements and available roof or site space.
The return on investment (ROI) and payback period depend on your energy usage, system size, and available incentives. On average, businesses can see a full return on their solar investment in 5 – 7 years, with continued savings on energy bills and potential income from exporting excess electricity.
Yes! Commercial solar systems can be paired with battery storage to store excess electricity generated during the day. This allows your business to use energy when it’s needed most, reduce reliance on the grid, lower bills, and improve energy independence.
