Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Your questions, answered.

  • Most commercial solar installations reduce electricity bills by 50–75%. The exact saving depends on your energy usage, roof size, and system specification. As part of your free consultation, we provide a detailed ROI projection tailored to your business.

  • Getting started is simple. Click on the “Free Consultation” button and you can pick the best date and time for you. We’ll handle the rest.

  • A PPA allows your business to benefit from a fully installed commercial solar system with no upfront capital outlay. We install the system and a third-party provider will fund and own the system on your premises, and you simply pay for the electricity it generates at a rate set below the standard grid price. Savings begin from day one, with no maintenance responsibilities.

  • Voltage optimisation reduces the incoming voltage supplied to your premises to the optimal level for your equipment. The UK grid supplies power at up to 253V, but most equipment operates most efficiently at around 220V — the difference is wasted as heat. Most commercial sites see energy savings of 8–12%, typically translating to £8,000–£10,000 per year depending on energy usage.

  • Yes — battery storage can operate independently by charging from the grid during cheap off-peak periods and discharging during expensive peak times. However, it works best when paired with a solar PV system, where it significantly increases the proportion of self-generated energy your business actually uses.

  • Yes. Electrasure is MCS certified, NAPIT approved, and NICEIC registered. These accreditations are required to install solar panels to industry standards and to access government incentives such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

  • Yes. We offer dedicated Operation & Maintenance packages covering panel cleaning, inverter health checks, electrical safety testing, and real-time performance monitoring. Well-maintained systems generate up to 5% more energy annually than unmanaged ones — directly protecting your savings.

  • Yes. We provide O&M services for commercial solar systems regardless of who carried out the original installation. We begin with an initial assessment to establish the current condition and performance baseline before putting a maintenance plan in place.
