Commercial solar is one of the most effective investments a business can make. By generating your own electricity onsite, you can reduce reliance on the grid, protect against rising energy prices, and significantly lower operating costs.
At Menai Heating, we design and install commercial solar PV systems tailored to your building, energy usage, and long-term business objectives. Whether you’re operating a warehouse, farm, office, industrial unit, retail premises, or public sector building, we can help you maximise savings and improve energy resilience.
Why Invest in Commercial Solar?
Generate electricity onsite and reduce the amount you need to purchase from the grid. Businesses can often achieve substantial savings on their energy costs over the lifetime of the system.
Solar provides a predictable source of electricity, helping protect your business from future energy market volatility.
Commercial solar systems can generate low-cost electricity for 25 years or more, delivering long-term financial benefits.
Reduce your carbon emissions and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability to customers, stakeholders, and employees.
Transform unused roof space or available land into a productive energy-generating asset.
Solar systems are highly reliable and require very little ongoing maintenance, with monitoring and occasional servicing helping to maintain peak performance.
No two businesses use energy in exactly the same way. That’s why every solar project begins with a detailed assessment of your site’s energy consumption, operating patterns, and future growth plans.
Our performance-led design process focuses on:
Solar systems can be installed on a wide range of surfaces, including flat and pitched roofs. Panels can be mounted using ballast systems, fixed to mounting frames, or integrated directly into the roof structure. For sites with available land, ground-mounted systems provide another effective solution.
An efficient solution that makes use of existing roof space while maintaining the appearance of the building.
Mounted using specialist framing systems designed to optimise solar generation.
Ideal for businesses with available land or sites requiring larger generation capacity.
Suitable applications include:
Solar PV systems convert sunlight into usable electricity, powering everything from lighting and office equipment to machinery and site operations. Any surplus energy can be exported to the grid, creating an additional income stream, or stored in a battery for use later, helping to support operations outside of daylight hours and reduce reliance on grid power.
Designed specifically for non-domestic use, commercial solar systems are installed to supply energy directly to the site on which they sit. Unlike large-scale solar farms, these systems are tailored to meet the needs of the business, improving efficiency and reducing overall energy costs.
System sizes are flexible and can be scaled to suit the building and its energy demand. Smaller systems of up to 50kW, typically around 100 to 150 panels, are classed as microgeneration, while larger commercial installations can reach several megawatts on industrial sites. This scalability makes solar a practical solution for a wide range of businesses, from small premises to large-scale operations.
Solar Panels
Capture sunlight and generate electricity, forming the foundation of the system.
Inverters
Convert electricity into a form suitable for use within your building.
Mounting Systems
The mounting system secures the panels safely to the roof, ground, or supporting structure, ensuring stability and optimal positioning for energy generation.
Meter & Monitoring
Measures energy generation, consumption, and exports while providing performance data to help keep the system operating efficiently.
Battery Storage (Optional)
Store excess electricity for use during evenings, peak periods, or times of increased demand.
| System Size | Approx. Panels | Typical Application |
| 50kW | 112 panels | Farm buildings, schools |
| 100kW | 224 panels | Hotels, dealerships, larger retail premises |
| 500kW | 1,120 panels | Warehouses, production facilities |
| 1MW | 2,240 panels | Industrial estates, retail parks |
| 5MW | 11,200 panels | Business parks, large industrial sites |
Every site is different, and our team will assess the available roof or land area to determine the most suitable system size.
We understand that every business has different financial requirements. Several funding options are available:
Own the system outright and retain all energy savings and export revenue.
A third-party investor funds, owns, and maintains the system. Your business purchases the generated electricity at an agreed discounted rate, often with no upfront capital investment.
Spread the cost through lease or hire purchase arrangements while benefiting from immediate energy savings.
Since 2001, Menai Heating has delivered trusted renewable energy and heating solutions across North Wales, with a long-standing committment to quality workmanship, innovation, and customer service.
We focus on designing systems around real energy usage to maximise self-consumption, improve financial returns, and deliver long-term performance.
Every business is different, but the opportunity to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability is available today.
