Car dealerships face high electricity demands from lighting, showrooms, workshops, and EV infrastructure. Commercial solar installations provide a cost-effective way to reduce energy costs while reinforcing a modern, sustainable brand image.
Scott Electrical delivers commercial solar systems for car dealerships, working with automotive businesses across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Our commercial solar installers in Leeds design systems that complement dealership operations without disruption.
Why Solar Is Ideal for Car Dealerships
Dealerships typically operate during daylight hours, making them well aligned with solar generation.
Solar panels can help power:
- Showroom and forecourt lighting
- Workshops and servicing bays
- Offices and customer areas
- EV charging points
This reduces reliance on grid electricity while supporting sustainability messaging increasingly valued by customers.

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.
