Energy costs keep rising
Yours don't have to
South Yorkshire's Race To Net Zero
South Yorkshire’s Mayoral Combined Authority is targeting net zero by 2040, a decade ahead of the national goal. As that push accelerates across Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley, commercial solar PV lets your business generate its own power now, ahead of the curve, and stay first in line for whatever funding and support follows.
Energy Costs That Are Hard to Predict
Sheffield and South Yorkshire businesses sit in Northern Powergrid’s network area, where rising grid charges stack on top of wholesale energy costs. Commercial solar PV and battery storage cut how much power you draw from the grid in the first place, giving you control over costs that are otherwise out of your hands.
Making Better Use of Your Building
From logistics warehouses in to manufacturing sites across the region, we’ve seen first-hand how much unused roof space sits idle on South Yorkshire business estates. Commercial solar panels turn that space into a genuine asset, improving long-term returns without disrupting how your business runs day to day.
We Know The Local Landscape
Our South Yorkshire team knows the ground, DNO capacity, planning routes and funding conditions specific to Sheffield, Doncaster and the wider region. That local knowledge means fewer delays, fewer surprises, and an installation that moves at the pace it should.

Options vary by sector and site, including capital allowances and asset finance. Our team reviews what you qualify for during your discovery call.
Do I need to fund the installation myself?
No. We can arrange funding where required, so there’s no need to find capital upfront. We’ll talk you through the options during your discovery call.
How long does installation take?
Most commercial rooftop systems in the Sheffield area are installed within 2–6 weeks of design sign-off, depending on scale and roof access.
What ongoing support do you provide?
We monitor system performance after installation and can stay involved for the life of the asset, backed by our national accreditations (ISO 9001, UKAS, CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline Gold).
