Commercial Solar for Businesses in West Sussex & Hampshire
Turn suitable roof or land space into an electricity-generating asset for your business. GS Solar designs commercial solar PV systems around the site, available space and the way your organisation uses electricity.
Why businesses consider solar
- Reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid during generating hours.
- Make use of large roof areas or suitable land.
- Improve visibility over part of your long-term electricity supply.
- Support environmental and carbon-reduction objectives.
- Potentially export eligible surplus generation to the grid.
Solar can suit daytime electricity demand
Many businesses consume significant electricity during daylight hours, which can make on-site solar generation particularly useful because more of the electricity may be consumed as it is generated. The actual benefit depends on the business load profile and system design.
Commercial locations
Potential sites include offices, workshops, warehouses, industrial units, agricultural buildings, hospitality premises and suitable ground areas. Every site needs its own technical and commercial assessment.
Tax treatment and capital allowances
Solar expenditure can have capital-allowance implications for businesses. HMRC guidance specifically designates capital expenditure on solar panels as special-rate expenditure. The relief available to a particular business depends on its circumstances and the tax rules in force at the time.
