  • Predictable energy costs
  • Enhanced business reputation as an eco-friendly company moving towards carbon neutrality

Several factors influence the suitability of your roof for solar panels, including:

  • Roof orientation and angle: South-facing roofs with an angle suited to your location will receive optimal sunlight for peak performance.
  • Roof condition and structural integrity: Your roof must be strong enough to support solar panels and withstand the installation process.
  • Shading: Avoid shaded roofs as they reduce panel efficiency. Ensure the roof is free from obstructions like trees or nearby buildings.
  • Available roof space: The more space available, the more solar panels you can install to meet your energy needs.

We offer site surveys to assess your property’s suitability and provide tailored recommendations.

Our process starts with an initial consultation and site survey. We’ll assess your property, understand your energy needs, and discuss project timelines. Following this, we’ll design a custom solar PV or EV charging solution and provide a detailed quote.

Once approved, we’ll schedule the installation, ensuring a smooth process with minimal disruption to your operations. We also offer monitoring and maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently.

We offer flexible finance options, including a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This allows you to enjoy solar panels with no upfront costs and benefit from reduced energy rates.

In addition, grants and incentives are often available for solar installations. We recommend researching local authority grants or contacting us for advice on available funding.

Installation times depend on the complexity of your system. We’ll discuss your timeline during the site survey and work diligently to meet any deadlines.

In most cases, commercial solar installations fall under "Permitted Development" and won’t require planning permission. However, we’ll ensure full regulatory compliance as part of our design and planning process.

Commercial solar panels typically last between 25 to 30 years. To maximise lifespan, regular professional maintenance is essential.

SESC Solutions offers the following warranties:

  • PV Modules: 10-12 years for materials and workmanship, with a 25-year performance warranty (as per manufacturer guidelines).
  • Inverters: 12-year warranty (extensions available).
  • Labour: 5-year limited warranty.
  • Complete System: 5-year turnkey warranty covering the elements outlined above.

Solar panels should be kept clean for optimal performance. Regular wipe-downs may be necessary, though rain typically provides adequate cleaning. We recommend annual professional servicing to inspect and test the system, helping prevent future issues and ensuring efficient performance.
