Commercial solar in Edinburgh
Funded solar PV and battery storage for Edinburgh businesses — zero upfront cost, a fixed rate below the grid, fully managed.
Edinburgh’s economy runs on financial services, technology and a large tourism and hospitality trade, backed by industrial and distribution estates on the city fringe. Offices, hotels and warehouses all use power through the day, so on-site solar offsets real demand, and a PPA installs it with no upfront cost.
Edinburgh is one of the UK’s leading financial centres, with banking, asset management and insurance concentrated in the city, alongside a fast-growing technology and fintech sector and a tourism and hospitality trade that fills its hotels and venues year-round. Beyond the offices, the industrial and distribution estates around the city bypass at Newbridge, Sighthill and Loanhead house warehousing and light manufacturing. These commercial premises use electricity steadily through business hours, which is when a solar array produces most.
PPA Funding introduces Edinburgh businesses to funded solar and battery storage through a Power Purchase Agreement. There is nothing to pay at the start; the funder covers installation, ownership and maintenance, and you buy the electricity generated at a fixed rate held at least 30% below the grid. Ownership passes to you for £1 at the end of the roughly 20-year term, with hire purchase, leasing and outright purchase offered for businesses that would rather own outright.

Questions
Commercial solar in Edinburgh — FAQs
Can an office building or hotel benefit from solar as much as a factory?
Yes, wherever there is suitable roof space and daytime electricity use. Offices and hotels run lighting, lifts, heating, ventilation and kitchens during the day, so a rooftop system offsets a genuine share of that demand and the fixed PPA rate protects against grid price rises.
Do you cover the Lothians and the wider central belt?
Yes. We work with businesses across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East and West Lothian and the wider central belt, including sites near the city bypass and along the M8 and M9.
