Commercial solar PV installation, rooftop and ground-mount.
Labour-only solar PV installation teams for EPCs and main contractors, on projects from 100kWp. Take us for the roof, the AC side, or the whole job from frames to the point of connection.
Solar DC installation, AC installation, or the full system.
We fit around your team and your programme, and every package is priced as labour only, at a fixed rate per kW.
Roof / DC only
Purely roof works. We install the array and run the DC cabling and containment to the edge of the building, where your team takes over.
- PV framework on trapezoidal metal and flat roofs
- Module installation to the design and manufacturer’s instructions
- Roof-level tray, basket and cable containment to the building edge
- DC string cabling and connections to the edge of the building
- Full DC string testing so every string is fault-free (certification is issued with the final inverter connections)
AC mains only
Your roof team installs the array, and we take on the AC side from the inverters through to the point of connection. Cable routes, containment, terminations and testing are all handled by our own electricians.
- AC supplies to inverters, isolators and AC combiner boards
- SWA cabling on planned routes from the inverters to the main LV switchboard
- Tray, ladder and trunking containment, fixed and dressed neatly
- Terminations and MCCB connections at the LV switchboard
- Generation metering and CTs installed where specified
- Earthing, bonding and surge protection to the design
- Inspection and testing to BS 7671, with labelling throughout
Full AC + DC
One team, one point of contact, from frames to commissioning and handover. Roof and AC works run to a single programme, so there are no gaps between trades.
- Everything in Packages 01 and 02
- One programme, with roof and AC teams coordinated under a single site lead
- Inverter installation, connection and commissioning
- Monitoring and comms set up, so generation can be checked straight away
- End-to-end testing to BS 7671, BS EN IEC 62446-1, MIS 3002 and the IET Code of Practice
- Certification, test results and an O&M handover pack
- Full clean-up of work areas
Trapezoidal metal and flat roofs
We install the framework and modules on trapezoidal metal sheet roofs and on flat roofs with ballasted systems, followed by roof-level tray and basket containment and the DC string cabling.
- PV framework and module installation to the design and manufacturer’s instructions
- Cable tray, basket and containment at roof level
- DC cabling and connections, then AC supplies to inverters and isolators
- Recent kit includes ASTROnergy 595W modules and Solax inverters and AC isolators

On ground-mount sites, we install screw-pile mounting systems and the modules, then take on the cable routes, including trenching and directional drilling.
- Screw-pile ground-mount framework
- Trenching and directional drilling for cable routes
- Ground-mount systems priced separately, project by project

Your solar PV subcontractor, from roof to switchboard
Solar EPCs and main contractors bring us in as a labour-only solar PV installation team. We work to your design, your programme and your site rules, and you keep control of materials, plant and scaffolding.
On the roof, our installers fit the framework and modules and run the DC string cabling and containment. On the AC side, our electricians take the cabling from the inverters to the main LV switchboard, with terminations, testing and commissioning. We are based in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and our teams work on commercial solar sites across the UK, from Lincolnshire to Wiltshire.
Fitting modules on a commercial metal roofCommon questions from solar contractors
Do you work as a labour-only solar PV subcontractor?
Yes. We supply labour-only solar PV installation teams to solar EPCs and main contractors. Materials, equipment, plant hire and scaffolding are supplied by others, so you keep control of procurement.
What size of commercial solar projects do you install?
Commercial rooftop and ground-mount solar PV from 100kWp upward, on trapezoidal metal roofs, flat roofs with ballasted systems and screw-pile ground-mount sites.
Can you take just the DC side or just the AC side?
Yes. Package 01 covers the roof and DC side, Package 02 covers the AC installation from the inverters to the main LV switchboard, and Package 03 is the full AC + DC install through to commissioning and handover.
Where do your solar installation teams work?
We are based in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and our installation teams work on commercial solar projects across the UK.
How do you price solar installation work?
Each package is priced as labour only, at a fixed rate per kW, so the cost is clear from the start. Ground-mount systems are priced separately, project by project.
What testing and paperwork do we get at handover?
DC strings are tested to BS EN IEC 62446-1 and the AC side is verified to BS 7671. You get certification, test schedules and an O&M handover pack, with job-specific RAMS in place from the start.
