Commercial solar and battery storage across the North East.
Your roof is producing exactly when your business is using. We size solar, storage and heat pumps to your working day, from Team Valley units to farms in Northumberland.
Why it stacks up for a business
You use power when the sun's up
Most businesses run nine to five. That's when a solar roof produces, so a far higher share of what you generate gets used on site than in a typical home. Less export, more saving.
Get a site assessmentBig roof, little else on it
Industrial units, warehouses and farm buildings have large, unobstructed roofs. More panels per install means a lower cost per kilowatt than a domestic job.
Check my roofA battery flattens your peaks
Storage lets you charge on cheap overnight rates, shave peak demand, and keep tills, servers and cold storage going through a power cut with an EPS switch.
Battery storageElectrical work done in-house
Scope Utility Solutions engineers have been fitting and certifying commercial meters and boards across the North East since 2019. Your install connects into work we already understand.
Our accreditationsWho we work with
Industrial units
Team Valley, Washington, Cramlington, Teesside. Big roofs, daytime loads, three-phase supplies.
Offices
Steady weekday demand that solar matches closely. Storage for out-of-hours servers and security.
Farms and rural
Barn roofs, cold stores, dairy and grain drying. Often off the gas grid, so heat pumps make sense too.
Retail and hospitality
Fridges, ovens and lighting running all day. A battery keeps trading through a power cut.
Draft: swap for Scope's actual commercial sectors and first case studies once they're confirmed.
How a commercial job runs
Same journey as a house, bigger numbers, more paperwork. We handle it.
- 01Site and usage assessmentHalf-hourly data from your supplier if you have it, roof survey, and a look at your supply and distribution board.
- 02Design and grid applicationSystem sized to your load profile. We apply to the network operator for permission to connect, which larger systems need.
- 03Install, commission, monitorFitted around your opening hours where we can. Commissioned, certified, and set up with monitoring so you can see what it's producing.

Questions businesses ask us
Do we need permission from the network to connect?
Systems above a certain size need approval from the local network operator before they're connected. We make the application as part of the design stage and tell you where it stands.
Can we keep trading while it's installed?
Usually. Roof work goes on above you and the electrical connection is scheduled for a quiet period, often first thing or out of hours. We agree it with you up front.
What happens to electricity we don't use?
It goes into a battery if you have one, or it's exported to the grid and paid for by your supplier. For most businesses the bigger win is using it on site, which is how we size the system.
Is our roof strong enough?
Most steel-framed and modern roofs are. We check the structure and the roof covering as part of the survey, and we'll tell you plainly if it isn't suitable.
Can we spread the cost?
Finance is available through our partners. We'll show you what the system costs against what it saves so you can see the payback before you decide.
