Industries & Sectors We Support
Below is an overview of the key sectors we work with. Each has specific challenges — and solar can address them in powerful ways.
Warehousing & Logistics
Warehouses often have large roof space and high daytime energy usage, making them ideal candidates for commercial solar.
Benefits include: reduced running costs, predictable energy expenditure and improved sustainability reporting.
Typical system size: 40–100kWp+
Perfect for: distribution centres, storage facilities, fulfilment warehouses.
Manufacturing & Engineering
Manufacturing facilities consume high levels of electricity during production hours. Solar provides substantial offset against daytime demand and reduces reliance on expensive grid energy.
Benefits include: significant annual savings, stable energy supply and improved carbon reduction.
Perfect for: fabrication plants, engineering workshops, industrial units.
Retail & Supermarkets
Retail sites operate long hours with high energy requirements for lighting, refrigeration and HVAC systems. Solar helps stabilise costs and improves ESG visibility.
Perfect for: supermarkets, retail parks, standalone stores.
Offices & Business Premises
Commercial offices benefit from daytime generation that aligns with working hours. Solar improves EPC ratings and long-term operational costs.
Perfect for: office buildings, co-working spaces, business parks.
Schools, Colleges & Universities
Education settings use significant energy during daylight hours. Solar helps reduce annual utility bills while teaching sustainability in practice.
Perfect for: primary schools, academies, further education centres, universities.

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.
