Power your business with sunlight you own
Large-roof solar for warehouses, factories and offices that slashes operating costs and carbon while turning idle roof space into a productive asset.
For most businesses, electricity is one of the largest controllable costs on the balance sheet, and one of the few that keeps climbing. Helios Horizon turns that liability into an asset. The vast, sun-soaked roofs of warehouses, manufacturing sheds, cold stores and office parks are perfect platforms for commercial and industrial solar, generating power exactly where and when your operations consume it.
Self-consumption is where the money is
Commercial solar pays back fastest when generation lines up with daytime demand, and most businesses run hardest during daylight. Compressors, chillers, production lines, lighting and HVAC all draw heavily while the sun is high, so a well-sized array can offset a large share of your peak load before a single kilowatt-hour touches the grid. We model your interval data in detail, then design a system from 30kW to several megawatts that maximises self-consumption rather than chasing oversized export.
Beyond energy, we tackle demand. Network demand charges, based on your highest peaks, can quietly dominate a commercial bill. By combining solar with battery storage and intelligent load management, we shave those peaks, flatten your demand profile and unlock savings that pure generation alone cannot reach. Every reduction in peak draw is money kept in the business.
Carbon, compliance and credibility
Cutting opex is only half the story. Customers, investors and procurement teams increasingly expect a credible decarbonisation path. On-site solar delivers measurable Scope 2 emissions reductions you can report with confidence, supported by detailed monitoring that tracks generation, consumption and avoided carbon in real time. For many of our clients, a visibly green roof becomes a genuine commercial advantage in tenders and brand storytelling.
What a commercial partnership includes
- Detailed feasibility using your actual interval and tariff data, not rough estimates
- Structural and electrical engineering for safe, code-compliant rooftop installation
- Demand management and battery options to attack peak-demand charges
- Flexible funding paths including capital purchase, finance and power purchase agreements
- Live monitoring dashboards covering generation, self-consumption and carbon savings
We also design for the future of the connected grid. Commercial sites enrolled in our network can participate in coordinated demand response, contributing flexibility to the wider energy system and earning new revenue streams as electricity markets reward businesses that can shift and share load. Your warehouse stops being just a building and becomes part of the infrastructure that keeps a region powered.
The payback case has never been stronger. With falling hardware costs, accelerated depreciation and rising grid prices, many commercial systems return their investment in three to six years and then generate decades of clean, low-cost power. Partner with Helios Horizon and let your roof work as hard as your business does, turning sunlight into resilience, savings and a brighter shared future.
Commercial & Industrial questions
It depends on your roof area, daytime load and goals. We analyse your interval data to size a system that maximises self-consumption, typically ranging from 30kW for a small premises to multiple megawatts for large industrial sites.
Yes. Alongside outright purchase we offer finance and power purchase agreements, where you simply buy the solar electricity at a rate below grid prices with little or no upfront cost. We will model which option delivers the best return for you.
Demand charges are based on your peak load. By pairing solar with battery storage and smart load control, we trim those peaks so your highest demand never spikes as high, which can save thousands beyond the energy savings alone.
