Commercial Rooftop Solar PV enquiries

Commercial rooftop solar enquiries, including site requirements, electrical design and connection review.

A non-domestic rooftop PV project needs a site, roof and electricity brief. Business ownership, lease terms, use pattern and site operations can shape the design.

Your brief

Useful details to have ready

  • Identify the building, roof covering, available plans and whether roof renewal is planned.
  • Share available electricity usage, operating hours and any future load changes such as vehicle charging.
  • Ask the provider to describe mounting, electrical connection, access and operating arrangements for the site.
  • The job postcode and when you would like the work done

You can start without every answer. Only take photos where it is safe to do so; do not climb onto a roof for an enquiry.

One brief, a clear next step

  1. Tell us about the job. Your draft is saved in this browser as you go.
  2. Review before sending. Edit the details and confirm the enquiry. Your completion link keeps later answers with the same case.
  3. Find a suitable supplier. Beffer checks service fit and coverage. Availability, a quote and any site visit must be confirmed by the supplier.

What a survey should resolve

  • Who owns the roof and who can approve installation, maintenance access and any export arrangement?
  • What are the roof load, fire, weatherproofing and structural constraints?
  • What planning, building-control, grid and operational approvals apply to this exact proposal?

Cost factors and exclusions

  • Survey, structural strengthening, roof replacement, access equipment, electrical infrastructure and grid work may change scope.
  • Ask whether interruptions to site operations, monitoring, maintenance, commissioning and landlord consents are included.

Before you enquire

Does a large roof mean a viable project?

No. Structure, condition, shading, electricity use, permissions and connection capacity all need assessment.

Is planning permission always needed?

No. Some non-domestic installations may be permitted development in England, subject to limits and conditions. Check the actual site and local authority guidance.

Does an enquiry commit me to the work?

No. Submitting an enquiry starts the discussion. Check the supplier's scope, price, exclusions and terms before accepting a quote.
