Industrial units often face high and energy-intensive operating costs, making solar power an increasingly attractive investment. Whether you operate machinery, production lines, or specialist equipment, commercial solar installations can significantly reduce grid dependency.
Scott Electrical delivers bespoke solar systems for industrial units, helping businesses improve efficiency, manage energy costs, and support sustainability targets. Our experienced
Why Industrial Units Are Ideal for Solar
Industrial facilities typically operate during daylight hours, aligning closely with solar generation. Combined with large roof areas, this makes industrial units well suited to commercial solar systems.
Solar is particularly effective for:
- Manufacturing facilities
- Engineering and fabrication units
- Processing and assembly plants
- Light and heavy industrial buildings
Powering Industrial Operations with Solar Energy
Commercial solar installations can support a wide range of industrial energy demands, including:
Production lines and machinery
Compressed air systems
Industrial lighting and ventilation
Offices and control systems
By generating electricity on-site, businesses can reduce peak demand and stabilise long-term energy costs.
Bespoke Solar Design for Industrial Buildings
Industrial units often have unique technical and operational requirements. Our system designs take into account:
Load profiles and peak demand
Roof structure and available space
Existing electrical infrastructure
Future expansion or increased energy use
This approach ensures each system integrates seamlessly with your operations. Find out more about our commercial solar solutions and tailored system design.
Financial and Operational Benefits
Installing solar panels on industrial units can:
Reduce operational overheads
Deliver predictable long-term energy costs
Improve resilience against energy price increases
Strengthen environmental and sustainability commitments
Solar also enhances the appeal of industrial premises to customers, investors, and supply chain partners.

FAQs
Is solar suitable for energy-intensive industrial units?
Yes. Solar is particularly effective for industrial units that operate during daylight hours, helping offset high energy usage.
Can solar systems integrate with existing machinery?
Commercial solar systems are designed to integrate with existing electrical infrastructure and industrial equipment without disruption.
Will solar reduce peak electricity costs?
By generating electricity on-site, solar can reduce grid demand during peak periods, helping manage energy costs.
How long does a commercial solar installation take?
Installation times vary depending on system size, but most commercial projects are completed within a few weeks once approved.

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.
