Reference configurations showing how commercial solar, storage, HVAC and charging come together on different site types. Filter by market to see the connection route and funding position that applies.
These are indicative reference configurations based on typical commercial installations, not named client case studies. Figures are modelled examples — your own site will differ.
Manufacturing🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Light manufacturing rooftop array
North West England · 400 kWp rooftop PV
Two-shift operation with a strong daytime baseload. Sized against the half-hourly profile to keep export low and capital allowance relief meaningful.
- · Trapezoidal-sheet mounting with structural appraisal first
- · G99 application to the regional DNO
- · Capital allowances modelled: AIA on the first £1m, 50% FYA on the balance
- ~82%
- generation used on site
- SEG
- tariff for the exported balance
- 0% VAT
- position confirmed before order
Retail🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Retail park multi-unit rooftop
Midlands, England · 310 kWp across four units
Landlord-led installation across separately metered units, with lighting and cooling load aligning closely with generation.
- · Four separate arrays, one per metered unit
- · G99 application covering the aggregate connection
- · Per-unit monitoring for tenant recharging
- Per unit
- generation metered and allocated
- Summer peak
- cooling load matched to output
- Phased
- installation with no trading disruption
Agriculture🇬🇧 UK & 🇮🇪 Ireland
Dairy farm solar and hot water load
Rural site, UK or Ireland · 90 kWp rooftop PV
Milking, vacuum pumps, plate cooling and water heating give an unusually good daytime match. Sheds provide clear, unshaded south-facing roof area.
- · Modules across two shed roofs
- · Diverter to the hot water cylinder for surplus
- · Sized to the milking schedule rather than the roof
- Twice daily
- load aligned to generation
- Surplus
- diverted to water heating before export
- Low
- shading and structural risk
Offices🇬🇧 UK & 🇮🇪 Ireland
Office HQ with VRF cooling and solar
Urban site, UK or Ireland · 120 kWp PV with VRF air conditioning
Cooling demand peaks with solar output, so nearly all generation is consumed on site during the months the array produces most.
- · Roof array plus VRF indoor and outdoor units supplied together
- · Controls tuned so cooling leans on generation
- · EV charging provision with dynamic load management
- Peak match
- cooling and generation coincide
- One supplier
- for PV, HVAC and charging
- Headroom
- kept for future EV charging
