Trustpilot: (368) 4.6 Based on 368 reviews Energy costs are one of the biggest and most unpredictable overheads for UK businesses. At the same time, customers, investors, and supply chains are paying closer attention to how companies reduce their carbon footprint.
With over 13 years’ experience and 16,000+ installations nationwide, Greenscape Energy are specialists in large-scale rooftop solar systems for SMEs and corporates. From warehouses and factories to offices, retail, and logistics hubs, we help businesses of every size transform unused roof space into a reliable, long-term energy asset.
Energy costs are one of the biggest and most unpredictable overheads for UK SMEs and corporations. At the same time, customers, employees, and stakeholders are paying closer attention to how companies are reducing their carbon footprint.
Lighting, refrigeration, HVAC, machinery, and IT infrastructure are just some of the core operations that place heavy demands on electricity. By generating your own power on-site, your business can cut energy bills immediately and reduce exposure to future price rises.
For businesses with large rooftops, systems can be designed to generate export income. Any surplus power can be sold back to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Some organisations even choose to oversize their system specifically for export, creating an additional, predictable income stream. Cheaper and more dependable energy can also free up capital for business improvements or investing in new facilities and services.
Commercial solar is one of the most reliable investments available. With installation costs more affordable than ever and electricity prices at record highs, most farms achieve payback in as little as 3 years, IRR commonly 14–18%, with 25+ years of free energy to follow.
Installing solar PV demonstrates measurable progress towards Net Zero. This strengthens corporate sustainability reports, improves CSR and ESG scores, and enhances performance in tenders and supply chain assessments. Solar also improves EPC ratings, helping businesses comply with tightening Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
When investing in energy-efficient or low/zero-carbon technology, businesses can claim capital allowances and other tax benefits, helping reduce overall tax liability while investing in long-term energy security. VAT may also be reclaimable depending on your business type.
With lifespans of 25–30 years and minimal maintenance requirements, solar panels deliver reliable energy generation year after year, backed by strong manufacturer warranties.
Commercial solar PV provides a stable, predictable supply of low-cost electricity. This helps businesses hedge against volatile wholesale energy prices and plan with confidence for the future.
Funding Commercial solar projects is the biggest change in the commercial energy market. Thanks to our Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), your business can now benefit from solar panels installed completely free of charge.
We install solar panels on your building for FREE
We own, fund, and maintain the system
You pay nothing upfront
You simply buy the solar electricity at a much cheaper rate than grid power
It’s that simple. No capital outlay, no maintenance headaches, just immediate savings from day one.
With grid electricity still expensive and unpredictable, PPAs allow you to lock in guaranteed cheaper energy for 10–25 years, often around 50% of your existing costs, while cutting carbon emissions and boosting ESG/CSR at the same time.
Many businesses that once thought solar was “out of reach” are now making the switch through PPAs, because they remove the biggest barrier: upfront cost.

We’ll give you an indicative figure over the phone, then confirm with a site visit and full proposal.
To make savings tangible, here are example outcomes using current market assumptions.
| System Size | Ideal For | Est. Annual Saving | 25 Year Benefit* | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 kW | Offices, retail units | ~£14,000 | ~£668,000 | ~5 years |
| 100 kW | Warehouses, small factories | ~£28,000 | ~£1.34m | ~4.5 years |
| 150 kW | Manufacturing sites | ~£42,000 | ~£2.00m | ~4 years |
| 250 kW | Distribution centres | ~£70,000 | ~£3.34m | ~3.5 years |
| 500 kW+ | Large factories, logistics hubs, HQs | ~£140,000 | ~£6.68m | ~3.5 years |
Assumptions: 30p/kWh grid price, 10p/kWh export, 90% self-consumption, 5% annual inflation, ~1:1 kWh/kW production, optimal orientation. Actual performance will vary by site and usage profile.
Not owning your premises doesn’t rule out solar. In fact, many landlords are eager to embrace it once they understand the benefits.
We’ve seen landlords delighted when they realise solar helps attract and retain tenants while future-proofing their assets.
“We were not looking for a green badge. We were looking for a hedge against another bad energy year. Greenscape modelled it against our actual data, not a generic spreadsheet, and the figures held up the moment we turned it on.”
As a rule of thumb, 10 kW requires around 50–70 m² of roof space. A 100 kW system typically needs 500–700 m², while a 250 kW system may need 1,250–1,750 m². We carry out a free site survey to confirm.
Savings depend on system size, usage, and grid prices. A 250 kW system can save between £60,000–£70,000 annually at today’s rates, equating to £2.5m+ over 25 years. Even smaller systems deliver six-figure lifetime savings.
Unused electricity can be exported under SEG or through bespoke export agreements. Many businesses also add battery storage to store excess power for evening use or peak-price export.
Solar is still possible. Landlords benefit from improved EPCs and property values, while tenants enjoy cheaper bills. We broker agreements to ensure both sides win.
Not at all. Rooftop solar is installed with minimal disruption, and our team works around your schedule to keep downtime to an absolute minimum.
Very little. Panels have no moving parts and require minimal upkeep beyond occasional cleaning and inspections. Inverters may need replacing once in 25–30 years. With a PPA, Greenscape covers all O&M at no cost.
Most owned systems pay back in 3–4 years. With a PPA, savings start immediately with no payback period at all.
A typical 250 kW system offsets 50–70 tonnes of CO₂ annually. Over 25 years, that’s more than 1,200–1,700 tonnes avoided — a measurable boost for Net Zero reporting.
Yes. Solar improves EPC ratings, reduces tenant operating costs, and makes buildings more attractive to buyers and renters.
Absolutely. Many supply chains and tenders require sustainability evidence. Solar provides visible, verifiable carbon reductions to strengthen your bids.
Panels last 25–30 years with performance warranties. Inverters usually need one replacement in that time. Systems continue generating long after payback.
Yes. All systems come with online monitoring so you can track generation, savings, and CO₂ reductions in real time. Many businesses use this data in sustainability reports.

Excellent support, very efficient and useful.
Great technical support from a most personable Callum.
My email was answered by Chloe Hickman who made the adjustment I requested by return. Thank you Chloe, well done. Keep up the good work.
Had my Air Con installed today.. Could not fault the two installers who attended. . Arrived nice and early, took a look around outside and indoors no hesitation in starting work and confirming where I wanted the appliance. Shoes off each time they entered house and completed the tidy up after themselves. Remote and operation of A/C explained to me.. Good work, keep it up.
I had a conversation with Callum Wrigley yesterday and he was very polite, efficient and completed my requirements very quickly, I would not hesitate to recommend him and Greenscape energy
Easy payment by credit card
I've just had solar panels, battery and EV charger installed by Mark and Luke. They arrived a little early, did the job as quietly as possible with no fuss, and have finished much earlier than I'd expected. Mark then explained what's what, which I think I'll remember. Couldn't expect more. Scaffolding subcontractor was similarly efficient putting the scaffolding up. The back office and survey staff have been friendly and efficient too. It has been good to be able to visit the showroom office in Ipswich.
Good communication. Did what was required promptly Thank you Callum
After leaving a message and emailing w/b 5 Oct 26, I telephoned again at the end of that week and spoke with Callum Wrigley in the tech dept. He listened to my concern, was very understanding and dealt with the problem I had efficiently and to my satisfaction. Thank you Callum
Good Service
Google Michaela, dealt with my finance query in a professional, efficient manner, and placated my fears that the progress on my solar system would be paused until the return of the surveyor from holiday. Good customer care. Thank you
Google Very professional and efficient from the sales engagement through to commissioning. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.
Google I have been very impressed with the service I received from Greenscape. The initial survey was very professionally done by Andrew and I was pleased that he convinced me not to have more panels than necessary. The team that installed the battery and inverter were excellent and very pleasant to deal with. The system is up and running and there have been no complications. I thoroughly recommend Greenscape.
Google I arranged to have solar panels and a battery installed by Greenscape via OVO Energy. From start to finish, the service has been excellent. From the survey, to the panel installation and battery installation, every team member has been professional and very friendly. The after sales have kept in contact to make sure everything has gone smoothly. Couldn't fault Greenscape.
No cost, no obligation, no pushy sales process. Just a personalised financial model showing what a system on your specific building would cost, generate, and save, modelled against your actual energy use, not a generic estimate.
You book. We visit. You leave with your numbers. If the figures do not stack up for your site, we will tell you. If they do, you will have everything you need to take it to the board.
