With our solutions, you can minimize your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner planet while also realising significant cost savings.

“When you consider the benefits I’m getting, you have to wonder why every business isn’t installing solar. The return on investment with solar is phenomenal. The reasonable cost of the install and the significant levels of power generated contribute to lowering our overall energy cost. This means our system will be paid off quickly making a notable impact on our bottom-line profitability. Tony and Moe provide an end-to-end solar solution for businesses unmatched by others. From our initial enquiry, installation, questions throughout and follow up, they were there every step of the way making the whole process very simple. I am now working with them on other properties and they’re currently looking into an EV charging solution for us. I highly recommend the AA Construction team for all your renewable energy needs.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The amount of money your organisation can save with a commercial solar power system varies based on several factors, including the system’s size, location, energy consumption, and local solar incentives. On average, businesses can expect to save thousands of pounds annually on energy bills by generating their electricity from the sun. Additionally, commercial solar systems often offer attractive returns on investment, typically paying for themselves within a few years and providing long-term savings throughout their lifespan. To determine the specific savings potential for your organisation, it’s best to consult with one of our team members who can conduct a thorough assessment based on your unique circumstances and energy needs.
Assessing the suitability of your building or site for commercial solar is crucial. Factors like roof condition, orientation, available space, local regulations, energy consumption, budget, and environmental goals all play a part. AA Construction Utilities offers a comprehensive assessment for both your building and business suitability.
Determining the right size of a solar system for your business depends on various factors, including your energy consumption, available roof space, budget, and energy goals. AA Construction Utilities can help you determine the ideal size for your commercial solar system.
Many businesses operate primarily during daylight hours and may use the energy generated by their solar panels effectively. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If your business has a sufficiently large rooftop solar installation that generates surplus electricity beyond your immediate needs, and if your operational hours extend beyond the typical 9-5 timeframe, then investing in a solar battery becomes a viable option. The decision ultimately hinges on your specific energy demands and usage patterns.
In most cases, you do not need planning permission for commercial solar panel installations in the UK, as they typically fall under the category of permitted development. However, there are some exceptions and considerations. For instance, if your building is located in a conservation area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or a listed building, additional permissions may be required. It’s essential to check with your local planning authority or consult a professional installer to ensure compliance with regulations in your specific location. When it comes to larger-scale solar installations like ground-mounted solar farms, the planning process becomes more complex. Establishing a solar farm often involves submitting a detailed planning application to the local planning authority. They assess factors such as visual impact, ecological considerations, and local objections before granting permission. The specific requirements for solar farms can vary depending on the location and size of the proposed installation. Therefore, it’s crucial to engage with local authorities and seek professional guidance to navigate the planning process effectively.
