Commercial Solar for Scottish Businesses
Designed, Funded and Delivered
Cut your energy costs, reduce grid dependency and structure your installation around your business - with a team that manages everything from design through to grid connection.
Accredited, insured and backed by Scotland's leading commercial solar funders.
The Commercial Opportunity
UK commercial electricity prices remain up to 90% above pre-crisis levels. For most businesses, energy is now the single largest controllable cost on the P&L.
Commercial solar changes that equation permanently. A well-designed commercial solar installation in Scotland generates free electricity for 25+ years, reduces your exposure to grid price volatility, and - depending on how you fund it - can deliver positive cash flow from day one.
Caledonia Solar exists to make that outcome straightforward for Scottish businesses. We originate, design, fund and deliver commercial solar installations from 50kW to multi-megawatt scale - handling every stage so you don't have to.
We focus exclusively on commercial systems between 50kW and multi-megawatt scale - where project structure, funding and delivery discipline matter most.
Why Caledonia Solar
Built around how commercial solar should be delivered
End-to-end delivery
From initial roof survey and system design through G99 grid connection application, finance placement and installation - we manage the entire process. One point of contact, no dropped handoffs.
Structured funding from day one
We work with four specialist commercial solar funders - including Octopus Energy, Siemens Financial Services and Ortus Energy (part of SSE). Whether you want to own the asset outright, spread the cost or pay nothing upfront via a PPA, we structure the right deal for your business.
Scottish commercial expertise
We understand Scottish planning law, the May 2024 permitted development reforms, DNO requirements across SP Energy Networks and SSEN territories, and the grant landscape specific to Scotland. That knowledge protects your project and speeds up delivery.
The Process
From first conversation to first kilowatt - here's the process
Site survey and system design
We assess your roof, energy consumption and grid connection to design a system that matches your building and your budget.
Funding and approval
We present your funding options, handle the finance application and submit your G99 connection request to your DNO.
Professional installation
Our accredited installation partner - NICEIC and NAPIT registered - carries out the full installation to commercial electrical standards.
Connection and handover
Grid connection confirmed, system commissioned, monitoring set up. Your solar asset is live and generating from day one.
Sectors
Commercial solar across every sector
Every industry has a different energy profile, a different roof type and a different funding priority. We design solar solutions that fit the way your business actually works.
Funding Models
Three ways to fund your commercial solar installation
There is no single right way to fund a commercial solar project. The best structure depends on your tax position, cashflow, appetite for asset ownership and how long you plan to occupy the building. We present all three options transparently and recommend based on your specific situation.
Buy outright
Own the asset, maximise the financial return and benefit from capital allowances. Best for businesses with available capital and a long-term commitment to the site.
Explore CapEx →Spread the cost
Finance the full installation over 3–7 years with fixed monthly payments. The solar savings typically exceed the finance cost from month one, typically making this cash-flow positive from day one.
Explore Asset Finance →No upfront cost
A third-party funder owns and installs the system on your roof. You buy the electricity it generates at a rate below your grid tariff - zero capital outlay, immediate savings.
Explore PPA →Find out what solar is worth to your business
