Who we install commercial solar panels for
Hybrid Asset Solutions supports a range of commercial and public-sector clients across Manchester, including workplaces, industrial units, warehouses, logistics sites, retail premises, schools, colleges, hotels, leisure venues, commercial landlords and multi-site property portfolios.
Our team can review your site, usage and objectives before recommending the most suitable approach.
Solar PV for Warehouses and Industrial Units
Warehouses and industrial units are often well suited to commercial solar panels because they may have large roof areas and consistent daytime electricity demand.
Solar PV can help power lighting, equipment, ventilation, office areas, charging infrastructure and general site operations. For businesses with high daytime consumption, this can support strong self-consumption and improve the return on investment.
Solar Panels for Offices and Commercial Buildings
Offices and commercial buildings can also benefit from solar PV, particularly where electricity demand is steady during working hours.
Solar panels can help power lighting, IT equipment, heating and cooling systems, lifts, shared services and tenant areas. For commercial landlords, solar PV may also support wider sustainability improvements and help strengthen the energy performance of the property.
Solar PV for Schools and Public-Sector Sites
Schools, colleges and public-sector buildings often have daytime electricity use that can align well with solar generation.
Commercial solar panels can support energy-cost reduction, carbon-saving targets and sustainability education. For public-sector estates, solar PV may also contribute to wider decarbonisation plans, especially when combined with energy monitoring, battery storage or EV charging.
The commercial solar installation process
During the free and quick survey we will review the property type, roof type & pitch, desired solar type (in roof or rails), solar panel location, inverter location and the usage of electricity over the last 6 months.
Based on the survey, the Hybrid team will establish the most suitable solution for your property, let you know the benefit to you in terms of ROI, and provide you with a quote for you to review.
The installation process will include the setup of the scaffold, installing the solar panel mounts and the panels, wiring of the solar panels and connecting the converter to the consumer unit.
Hybrid will then carry out a test on the solar panels, switching them on and ensuring each panel is working correctly.
Ongoing maintenance may include visual inspections, inverter checks, performance reviews, electrical testing, mounting checks, cleaning where required, fault investigation and remedial works.

FAQs about solar panels

How much could my business save with solar panels?
Do I need planning permission for commercial solar panels?

Can solar panels support EV charging?
How long do commercial solar panels last?
How much do commercial solar panels cost in Manchester?
The cost depends on system size, roof type, access, electrical infrastructure, cable routes, inverter requirements, monitoring, scaffolding, grid connection requirements and whether battery storage or EV charging is included.
A site survey is the best way to get an accurate cost.
Are commercial solar panels suitable for my business?
Commercial solar panels may be suitable if your building has usable roof space, suitable electrical infrastructure and enough electricity demand to make use of the energy generated.
Businesses with high daytime electricity use are often well suited to solar PV.
How much could my business save with solar panels?
Savings depend on system size, electricity usage, tariff, self-consumption, export assumptions, installation cost, maintenance and whether battery storage is included.
Hybrid can provide a site-specific savings estimate based on your building and energy use.
Do I need planning permission for commercial solar panels?
Many commercial solar installations may fall under permitted development, but this depends on the building, location, system design and site constraints.
Listed buildings, conservation areas, ground-mounted systems, unusual installations or leasehold properties may need additional checks.
Can solar panels be installed with battery storage?
Yes. Battery storage can help some businesses use more of the electricity generated by their solar panels, especially where generation and demand do not fully align.
Hybrid can assess whether battery storage is likely to improve the financial case for your site.
Can solar panels support EV charging?
Yes. Solar PV can support workplace or fleet EV charging, particularly where vehicles are parked during daylight hours. For best results, solar panels, EV chargepoints, battery storage and load management should be considered together.
How long do commercial solar panels last?
Commercial solar panels are typically designed to operate for decades. Inverters, monitoring equipment and other components may need maintenance or replacement sooner than the panels themselves.
Regular monitoring and maintenance help protect long-term performance.
