Capital expenditure qualifies for full first-year capital allowances, dropping effective payback further. Request a quote ### Free written estimate within 24 hours. No-obligation, fixed-price quote with the certificate detail included. What happens if you delay ## The cost of putting it off. Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented. - 1 Roof structural surveys skipped at quote stage lead to retrofitted ballast at install, six-figure cost over-runs. - 2 Inverters undersized to save cost waste 8–12% of annual yield through clipping on bright days. - 3 Specifying export-led systems on a low-export tariff misses the whole financial case, self-consumption is the prize. - 4 Failing to coordinate G99 application with the DNO can delay commissioning by 6–12 months. - 5 Cheap roof penetrations void roof warranties, a £30k bill on a 10-year-old composite roof. Our process ## A five-step system, no surprises. 1. Step 1 ### On-site inspection We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call. 2. Step 2 ### Written diagnosis & fixed quote You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises. 3. Step 3 ### Scheduled installation Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board. 4. Step 4 ### Testing & certification Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal. 5. Step 5 ### Aftercare & 12-month guarantee 12 months on workmanship plus manufacturer warranties on parts. One phone number, Alex or Jack, for anything that needs revisiting. Benefits ## What you actually get. ### ROI in 4–6 years Typical 50–100kWp commercial array on a warehouse roof repays in 4–6 years at current pence/kWh. ### Hedge energy prices Lock in 25 years of generation at sub-6p/kWh, independent of supplier renewal pressure. ### Full capital allowances Solar PV qualifies for full-expensing first-year capital allowances on commercial systems. ### ESG & B-Corp credentials Verified kWh generation supports Scope 2 reporting and tenant ESG requirements. ### Re-let value Owner-occupiers and commercial landlords add ~7–12% to property valuation with embedded generation. ### EV fleet synergy Daytime generation matches workplace EV charging perfectly, fleet fuel from your own roof. Specification & method ## How we deliver, in detail. We size commercial systems against half-hourly metered consumption, run structural surveys with a chartered partner, and project-manage G99 applications with Electricity North West in-house. ### Materials & equipment - Trina 600W bi-facial and JA Solar 580W mono-PERC panels for commercial roof arrays - Solis, Huawei SUN2000 and Sungrow three-phase string inverters from 15kW to 110kW - K2 Systems Speedrail and MiraTec ballasted mounting for membrane and composite roofs - Commercial LiFePO4 battery cabinets from Pylontech Powercube and BYD HVS for after-hours protection ### Method & standards - Half-hourly consumption analysis to size for ~85% self-consumption (the sweet spot for ROI) - Structural survey by partner chartered structural engineer before any quote is signed - G99 fast-track application managed with Electricity North West, typical 4–8 week DNO turnaround - Commissioning with DC string testing, AC isolation tests and inverter firmware lock ### Variations of this service - Roof-mounted on pitched composite/metal roofs (standard for warehousing) - Ballasted flat-roof installs on membrane and felt, zero penetrations - Ground-mounted arrays on adjacent yard space, common for rural light industrial - Carport solar combining shaded parking with EV charging infrastructure ### Where it applies on the Fylde Coast - Warehouses 500–5000m² in Squires Gate, Whitehills and Preston, 50–500kWp typical - Holiday parks and caravan sites, base-load matches midday demand for hot water and amenities - Care homes and schools, daytime occupancy matches generation perfectly - Hotels in Blackpool and Lytham, generation offsets daytime air-conditioning and kitchen loads ### Residential vs commercial Commercial PV is sized for daytime self-consumption (not export), uses three-phase string inverters, requires G99 application, qualifies for full capital allowances, and is structurally surveyed, a different financial and engineering exercise to the domestic install entirely. ### Related services - [Solar PV & Battery Storage ](/services/solar-pv-battery-storage) - [Commercial EV Charger Installation ](/services/commercial-ev-charger-installation) - [Commercial Electrical Installation & Testing ](/services/commercial-electrical-installation-testing) #### Useful links - [Northern Tec homepage](/) - [Service areas we cover](/service-areas) - [Verified client reviews](/reviews) - [Request a free estimate](/contact) Our work ## A wider look at recent Northern Tec projects.

A 1000m² warehouse roof typically carries 100–180kWp depending on pitch, orientation, plant and roof access requirements. Will it affect my existing roof warranty? Do I need planning permission? How disruptive is the installation? What capital allowances apply? Can I add battery storage later? What happens if my roof needs replacing in 10 years? Do you provide annual maintenance?
