Turning daylight into something more

HELIOS

Put a working roof to work.

We plan and install rooftop solar for commercial properties, starting with whether it suits your site at all.

What we look at before recommending anything.

Property and roof requirements
Roof type, usable area, access, age of the roof covering and any plant already on it shape what can be installed and how.
Consumption profile
Businesses that use most of their electricity in daylight hours are often well matched to solar. Interval meter data, where you have it, lets us compare generation against real demand.
Sizing and feasibility
We size against your demand, roof capacity and grid connection limits, and tell you plainly if a site is a poor fit.
Structural and electrical considerations
The roof structure has to carry the added load, and the existing electrical infrastructure has to accept the system. Both are checked before a design is finalised.
Operational constraints
Installation is planned around your working hours, access restrictions and any shutdown windows, so the site can keep running.
Financial considerations
Any financial projection we share lists its assumptions: tariff, consumption, export arrangement, system cost and expected generation. We do not promise a payback period.

Matching generation to demand

Solar output follows the sun. A site that uses most of its electricity during the day can use more of what its roof generates. Comparing the two curves is the first step in sizing a commercial system.

Clear steps. Thoughtful execution.

Every installation follows the same order, so you always know what has happened and what comes next.

  1. 1

    Understand

    We start with your property, your electricity use, your goals and the space available for installation.

  2. 2

    Assess

    We look at roof condition, shading, electrical needs and any site constraints.

  3. 3

    Design

    We propose a system suited to the property and explain the reasoning behind it.

  4. 4

    Install

    We coordinate installation, electrical work, safety and inspections.

  5. 5

    Commission

    We test the system and hand over the agreed documentation.

Tell us about your site.

Share the basics of your property and electricity use, and we will get back to you to discuss feasibility.
