Commercial solar PV array on an industrial roof

Greentech Energy Business Case

What could your roof actually do?

An indicative model of system size, annual financial benefit and payback for a commercial solar array — built on conservative central Scotland assumptions.

This is a screening tool, not a surveyed proposal. Results depend on your energy data, roof, structural capacity, network connection and the commercial review that follows.

How we model it

Conservative by design

Anyone can make a spreadsheet show a two-year payback. These are the assumptions behind these figures, and the ones we hold ourselves to in a proposal.

  1. 01

    Central Scotland yield

    We model a realistic annual yield per kWp for a tilted rooftop array in central Scotland, rather than a southern-England figure. Every proposal is re-modelled against your actual irradiance and shading.

  2. 02

    Sized to consumption

    The array is sized against your demand profile so you consume the power you generate. Where roof area is the constraint, the model tells you and we look at car-port or ground-mount instead.

  3. 03

    Funding shown separately

    Installed cost is shown before and after first-year tax relief. Grant and loan eligibility is confirmed for your specific project before you commit to anything.
