Commercial landlords and property owners are increasingly turning to solar energy to reduce operating costs, improve EPC ratings, and increase long-term asset value. Solar installations offer a practical way to futureproof commercial buildings while meeting growing sustainability expectations.
Scott Electrical provides commercial solar installations for landlords and commercial properties, supporting property owners across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Our experienced commercial solar installers in Leeds deliver compliant, high-performance systems designed for long-term returns.
Why Solar Makes Sense for Commercial Properties
Rising energy costs and stricter energy efficiency regulations mean landlords are under increasing pressure to improve building performance.
Solar panels help commercial property owners:
- Reduce communal and landlord-supplied energy costs
- Improve EPC ratings
- Increase tenant appeal and retention
- Protect asset value against future regulations
For multi-let properties, solar can offset energy usage in shared areas such as lighting, lifts, and plant rooms.
Solar for Multi-Let & Single-Tenant Buildings
Commercial solar installations are suitable for:
Office buildings
Retail units
Industrial estates

Mixed-use commercial properties
Systems can be designed to support landlord-controlled supplies or, in some cases, tenant usage depending on metering arrangements.
Bespoke Solar Design for Commercial Assets
Each property is assessed individually, considering:
Roof structure and available space
Existing electrical infrastructure
Tenant arrangements and usage patterns
Grid connection capacity

Increase long-term investment value
Solar also strengthens a property’s appeal to environmentally conscious tenants and investors.
FAQs
Can solar improve EPC ratings for commercial buildings?
Yes. Solar installations can positively impact EPC ratings by reducing reliance on grid electricity and improving overall energy performance.
Who benefits from the solar energy in multi-let buildings?
This depends on the electrical setup. Solar can be used for landlord supplies or structured to benefit tenants where feasible.
Will installation disrupt tenants?
Most solar installation work is carried out externally, minimising disruption to tenants and daily operations.
Is solar suitable for older commercial buildings?
Many older buildings are suitable, subject to structural assessment and roof condition.

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.
