Roof mounted solar

Turn unused roof space into a productive asset. We’ll show you exactly what it’s worth.

Most commercial buildings carry a significant untapped asset on their roof. Solar panels convert that unused space into a source of clean electricity — reducing the energy you buy from the grid, cutting your carbon footprint and delivering a measurable return on investment for 25 to 30 years.

Footprint Zero has delivered roof mounted solar installations across offices, industrial estates, retail parks, factories, logistics centres, healthcare facilities and educational campuses. Our team brings over 500MW of installation experience to every project, and we approach each one the same way: understand the building and the business first, then recommend the right solution.

Is my building suitable?

Most commercial roofs are suitable for solar, but the right answer depends on several factors: roof structure, orientation and pitch, shading, available space and current energy consumption. We assess all of these properly before recommending a system size or making any financial projections.

If your building isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. If it is, we’ll show you exactly what a system could deliver — in kilowatt hours, in pounds saved and in carbon avoided.

What we deliver

  • Full feasibility assessment and business case, based on your specific building and energy data
  • Structural survey and engineering sign-off
  • Planning and grid connection management
  • Installation by trusted, experienced contractors under our oversight
  • Energisation and handover with full documentation
  • Ongoing operations and maintenance, if required

 

Dramatically lower your electricity bills

Solar panels lower your energy demand from the grid in daylight and help your business save money by generating cheaper electricity for use on your site, significantly reducing your annual energy bills.

Enhance your green credentials

Generating your own electricity from solar reduces your carbon output which in turn enhances your green CSR and ESG credentials and strengthens your partnerships with customers and key suppliers.

Safeguard your electricity supply

It’s a fact that the national grid struggles to meet the substantial and growing electricity demands of UK industry, so solar is not merely an efficient alternative, it is a constant that can safeguard the supply to your operations.

Funding options

Roof mounted solar is available on a self-funded basis, through our co-ownership model or via a fully funded Power Purchase Agreement where there is no upfront capital required. We’ll help you understand which model makes most sense for your business.

proof

We completed a 3MW solar installation on one of the largest commercial roofs in the UK. Across our Ten Entertainment Group rollout, eight rooftop installations delivered measurable savings from day one — including 238kWp at Ten Telford, projected to save 931 tonnes of CO2 and £1.5 million over 25 years.
