Commercial & Farm Solar and Battery Storage in West Lothian

Solar panels and battery storage are not just for homes. Businesses, farms, schools and community buildings across West Lothian can benefit from generating their own electricity, reducing grid reliance, and gaining more control over energy costs. Whether you run a workshop in Livingston, a farm near Linlithgow, or a retail unit in Bathgate, a well-designed commercial solar system can make a real difference to your running costs.

Who commercial solar is for

We survey and quote for a wide range of non-domestic properties across West Lothian:

• Businesses: Offices, retail units, hospitality venues, salons and workshops with daytime electricity demand
• Industrial units: Warehouses, light industrial units and distribution premises in Livingston, Bathgate and Broxburn with large roof areas
• Farms: Farmsteads, barns, outbuildings and agricultural operations where roof or ground-mounted arrays can offset significant energy use
• Public sector and community: Schools, village halls, community centres and charity premises looking to reduce operating costs

If your property has a roof or suitable ground area and uses electricity during the day, commercial solar is worth exploring.

What we install for commercial properties

We design and quote for a range of renewable technologies for commercial and agricultural buildings:

• Commercial solar PV: Rooftop or ground-mounted panel arrays sized to your available space and electricity demand
• Battery storage: Commercial-scale battery systems that store surplus generation for use when your business needs it
• EV charging: Workplace charge points powered by your solar array, reducing fuel costs for business vehicles
• Heat pumps: Air-source or ground-source heat pumps for larger buildings looking to decarbonise heating

Every system is designed around your property, your usage pattern, and your goals. We do not offer one-size-fits-all packages — every quote is specific to your site.

How savings work for a business

The financial benefit of commercial solar depends on several factors specific to your operation:

• Daytime usage: Businesses that use electricity during daylight hours — offices, workshops, retail, farms with machinery — benefit most because they consume what the panels generate directly
• Electricity tariff: Your unit rate and standing charge determine how much each kilowatt-hour of self-generated electricity saves you
• Roof or ground space: Larger roofs and open ground areas allow bigger arrays, generating more electricity and greater savings
• Export income: Surplus electricity exported to the grid may earn income through an export tariff, adding to your overall benefit

We do not publish invented savings figures because every business is different. After surveying your site and understanding your energy use, we provide a written quote with a clear system design and expected generation information so you can make an informed decision.

How it works

The process for commercial properties follows the same straightforward approach as our domestic installations:

1. No-obligation site survey: We visit your premises, assess your roof or ground area, check your electrical setup, and discuss your energy use and goals
2. System design and quote: We design a system tailored to your property and send you a written quote with a clear breakdown
3. Installation: Installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partners, typically scheduled to minimise disruption to your operations
4. Aftercare: We are available after installation if you have questions, and your system includes monitoring so you can track generation and performance

Finance

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss finance options after your survey and will explain the terms clearly so you can decide what suits your business.
