How Commercial Solar Works for Your Leeds Business
A solar PV system allows your business to generate electricity onsite. During daylight hours, your building uses solar energy first — significantly reducing grid consumption.
We design every system to maximise your ROI based on:
roof size and type
current electricity usage
energy tariff
operating hours
future growth plans
Any excess energy can be:
stored in batteries
used to offset peak demand
exported back to the grid

FAQs on Commercial Solar PV in Leeds
Do commercial solar panels work well in Leeds weather?
Yes. Leeds receives enough daylight year-round for highly effective commercial solar generation. Solar panels work through daylight, not direct sunlight.
How much does commercial solar cost for a Leeds business?
Costs vary depending on your building, energy usage and system size. We provide a tailored proposal after carrying out a site survey and analysing your requirements.
How long does installation take?
Most systems are installed in 3–7 days, depending on size and roof type.
Do I need planning permission in Leeds?
Most commercial solar systems fall under permitted development. We’ll confirm during your survey.
Can you install solar on flat roofs?
Yes. Many Leeds industrial buildings have flat roofs, and we use specialist mounting systems designed for them.
What’s the lifespan of a commercial solar system?
Panels typically last 25–30 years, with inverter replacements around year 10–12.

I'd definitely use again and recommend to my friends and family....
When i rang and spoke to Paul he came across very well and i was confident to give him my job to install the car charger.
The date was confirmed and Paul himself and one of his colleagues arrived on time. They completed the installation without any issues and their work was of a very high order . Furthermore Paul took the time to explain thoroughly the workings of the EO app which is required for use with the charger.
I would certainly recommend Paul /Scott Electrical to my friends and colleagues for any future electrical work.
