Commercial energy

A better way to design commercial solar.

We don't start with a panel count. We start with your site, your electricity demand and what you want your energy infrastructure to achieve.

Our approach

Commercial solar should be designed around the business.

A commercial solar project is not simply a matter of filling a roof with as many panels as possible. The right system depends on how the building operates, when electricity is consumed, how much can be exported and what your future energy needs look like.

BrightGrid brings those factors together before recommending a system. Solar, battery storage, EV charging and energy management can then be evaluated as one connected energy strategy.

The result is a proposal built around the economics and operational requirements of your site — rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Commercial warehouse with solar infrastructure

01 — Site intelligence

We look beyond the roof.

The strongest commercial energy decisions come from combining physical site information with actual electricity demand.

Site intelligence

Roof geometry, usable area, orientation, system placement and site constraints.

Load analysis

Understand when electricity is actually being consumed and how solar generation can match it.

Grid strategy

Consider connection requirements, export, import and future electricity demand.

Storage modelling

Assess whether batteries can improve self-consumption, peak management or energy flexibility.

Renewable energy infrastructure

02 — Integrated energy architecture

Solar is one part of a larger energy system.

Generation, consumption, storage, EV charging and the grid all interact. The right configuration depends on the operating profile of the site.

Solar

Generate electricity on-site.

Load

Use energy where the business needs it.

Battery

Store and shift electricity.

Grid

Import or export when appropriate.

From assessment to operation

A structured process from first conversation to live system.

We coordinate the technical, commercial and delivery stages so you don't have to manage a collection of separate suppliers.

Start a commercial assessment
01

Understand the site

We start with the building, operation, electricity consumption and your commercial objectives.

02

Model the opportunity

Solar generation, roof capacity, load matching, battery storage and export are assessed together.

03

Build the system

The preferred configuration is developed into a technical design and commercial proposal.

04

Manage delivery

Approvals, procurement, installation, commissioning and grid coordination are managed through delivery.

05

Monitor performance

Generation, consumption, battery behaviour and system performance can be monitored after commissioning.

Where we work

Energy strategies for the way different businesses operate.

Different buildings have different loads, operating patterns and energy priorities. The system should reflect that.

Industrial

High daytime loads, large rooftops and energy-intensive operations.

Explore

Warehouses

Large roof areas with significant daytime electricity demand.

Explore

Schools & Trusts

Single-site and multi-site programmes for education estates.

Explore

Farms

Pumps, refrigeration, irrigation, workshops and processing.

Explore

Retail & Car Parks

Solar carports, EV charging and on-site energy generation.

Explore

Property Portfolios

Prioritised solar programmes across multiple commercial buildings.

Explore
Solar energy infrastructure across agricultural land

Agriculture & farms

Energy that works around the operation.

From irrigation and refrigeration to workshops, processing and storage, agricultural energy systems need to work around the realities of the farm.

Transparent by design

Every recommendation should be explainable.

We show the assumptions behind the recommendation rather than presenting a black-box number. Site characteristics, consumption, system size, generation, storage and commercial priorities all contribute to the final design.
