Help you cut through complexity

The process of a typical project

Commercial solar projects involve multiple parties, and their development can be a complex and lengthy procedure. We summarise the start-to-finish into 5 key steps to help you visualise the process. We have also published a detailed timeline diagram, which can be found here.

Absolar starts every project by presenting clients a remote solar survey report, which details the building's feasibility, estimated project cost, financial viability and payback period estimate. You can request a remote survey for your building here. It's free and totally zero-obligation. After that, Absolar engineers will visit your property for a site survey, collecting internal building information, proceeding to a Grid Application, which is required by UK National Grid for any solar PV project. As the grid application takes up to 3 months, Absolar engineers will work with you during this period to obtain other required paperwork such as planning permission and structural survey.

After the collection of all permissions, Absolar engineers will arrange with you a project commencing date. The entire project will not cause any disruption of your business operations, and the whole process is likely to take 2 - 5 weeks, depending on project size.
