Commercial solar and battery storage for UK businesses

Reduce reliance on grid electricity and turn unused roof or land space into a long-term energy asset. SOEV helps commercial sites assess, finance and deliver solar PV and battery storage projects.

The opportunity

Your roof is an under-used asset

Most commercial buildings have significant roof or land area generating no return. Solar PV converts that space into on-site generation, cutting the volume of expensive grid electricity you import. Add battery storage and you can shift that generation to when you actually use it — improving self-consumption and reducing exposure to peak pricing.

Commercial case modelled before installation

We show expected generation, usage, savings, project cost, payback and funding options before any project moves forward. Where suitable, a PPA lets a third party fund the installation while you buy the generated power at an agreed rate.

Commercial models

Own it, finance it, or pay only for the power

The right structure depends on whether you want to own the asset, protect cash, or simply secure cheaper energy. SOEV models all three and recommends what stacks up for your site.

CAPEX

Client-owned

Fund the project directly and keep the full long-term value of the asset.

FINANCE

Asset finance

Spread the cost over time while the savings help service the finance.

PPA

Power Purchase Agreement

No install cost — a third party funds it and you buy the power at an agreed rate.

PARTNER

Partner-funded structures

Where viable, partner-funded models for suitable sites and usage profiles.

Common questions

Solar & storage, answered

Which sites benefit most from commercial solar?

High-usage sites with meaningful daytime consumption and available roof or land space — warehouses, manufacturers, sports facilities, hotels, retail parks, schools and multi-let commercial property.

How does SOEV assess whether solar makes commercial sense?

We review your energy bill, usage profile and tariff, assess roof or land potential and site constraints, then model expected generation, savings, project cost, payback and funding routes before recommending anything.

What does SOEV need to assess my site?

A recent energy bill and basic site details (postcode, roof or land area, and any plans for EV charging or expansion). That's enough for an initial commercial model — no obligation.

Can solar and battery storage be installed with no upfront cost?

Where suitable, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) lets a third party fund the installation while you buy the generated electricity at an agreed rate. Asset finance can also spread the cost so savings help service the repayments.
