90kW Commercial Solar Installation, Barnsley

Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Manchester Renewables installed a 90kW commercial solar PV system across multiple industrial unit rooftops in Barnsley. The project involved fitting over 200 high-efficiency Tier 1 panels across the pitched and flat roof sections of a busy trading estate.

The system was designed to maximise coverage across the available roof space, with panels carefully positioned to avoid shading from adjacent buildings and rooftop plant. Our team worked around the estate's operating hours to minimise disruption to the tenants.

With a system this size, the business can expect to generate approximately 80,000 kWh of clean electricity per year — enough to significantly offset daytime energy consumption across the site and deliver a payback period of around 4-5 years at current energy prices.

Common Questions

How much does a 90kW commercial solar system cost?
A 90kW system typically costs between £55,000 and £75,000 depending on roof type, access, and panel specification. At current energy prices, most businesses see a return on investment within 4-5 years.
Will a commercial solar system disrupt my business?
We plan installations around your working hours and operations. Most commercial systems are installed over 1-2 weeks with minimal disruption to the building's day-to-day use.
Do commercial solar panels need planning permission?
In most cases, rooftop solar on commercial buildings falls under permitted development. We handle all planning checks as part of our survey process.
Can a commercial building sell excess solar energy?
Yes. Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), businesses can earn money for surplus electricity exported to the grid. Many businesses also benefit from reduced demand charges.
