Commercial Solar FAQs
The most time-consuming part of a commercial solar installation is the design and approval process, particularly obtaining distribution network operator (DNO) approval, which can take up to 12 weeks. Don’t worry – this is fully managed by our team.
Once approvals are in place, the physical installation typically takes less than a week for most businesses, with minimal disruption to your daily operations.

Rooftop solar PV systems generally fall under permitted development and therefore don’t need planning permission. However, if you are planning a ground-mounted system, or if your installation is happening in a conservation area, you may need planning permission. The Good Energy team will advise you on how to secure this.
Your solar PV system will be connected to your grid supply and therefore an application to your local distribution network operator (DNO) will be required. Local network and infrastructure tests will be carried out to understand if the grid can support the system size. Good Energy will liaise with your DNO on your behalf – getting permission can take up to 12 weeks.
We exclusively install glass-glass solar panels on commercial buildings, which are highly durable, have a better long-term performance, and lower fire risk than foil or plastic backed panels.
We use SolarEdge technology to optimise our systems, recognised globally for its performance and proven safety features that meet stringent standards such as FM Global and Solar Power Europe.
Our solar panel installations are built to last, with performance warranties of up to 30 years. Our annual service package will keep your solar panels running at the highest levels of efficiency for the duration of their lifespan.
Generating your own on-site renewable energy is an impactful way to reduce your carbon emissions. A 100kWp solar panel system (roughly 180 panels) will cut your business’ carbon footprint by around 26 tonnes of carbon every year (compared with 2024 grid carbon intensity).
We will work with you to understand your business’ energy demands, budget and available space, and design the right solar solution for you.
We offer an annual maintenance package for Good Energy installation customers. This includes thorough system inspections to check for faults or wear in wiring and inverters, as well as continual monitoring to ensure your system is performing as it should.
Solar panels dramatically reduce how much power your business draws from the national grid. However, you will still need to use power from the grid, particularly on cloudy days or during the winter months.
Your site will remain connected to the national grid, so whether it’s rainy or sunny there’ll be no impact on your operations.
We take a bespoke approach to every single solar design and installation, which starts with a free remote desktop survey. During this survey we assess your site’s suitability, and share your expected generation figures, annual financial savings and return on investment period.
