Thinking about installing commercial solar panels but still on the fence? We’ve got you covered. Take a look at our FAQs, Smartly has the answers.
Yes, with the right mounting and safety measures, solar works effectively on tall buildings. We use engineered mounting systems rated for the additional wind loads experienced at height and careful design also helps optimise panel angles to reduce shading from neighbouring structures.
Rarely. most commercial solar panel installations fall under permitted development rights. However, exceptions apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or subject to specific local planning restrictions. In those cases, we can help you work through all the necessary applications.
Yes, most of our systems are designed to be battery-ready from the outset, allowing you to add storage at any time in the future without major rework.
Typically 1–3 weeks from delivery to commissioning, depending on project complexity, access, and weather conditions. Larger or more technically involved systems may require phased work, but we plan installations to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations.
Maintenance is minimal, commercial solar systems have no moving parts, so upkeep generally involves periodic inspections to check electrical connections and mechanical fixings, along with occasional cleaning to remove dust or debris.
Yes, we can integrate EV charging solutions alongside your solar installation, allowing you to power electric vehicle charging points with clean, on-site energy. This can help reduce running costs for company fleets, staff vehicles, or public charging stations, and supports your broader sustainability goals.
Most commercial solar systems reach payback within 5–8 years, depending on energy usage, system size, and export income. For high-consumption businesses with strong daytime demand, payback can be even faster.
