JLR Preston Goes Green
Throughout 2023 and 2024 we partnered with Inchcape UK to install solar PV across their estate of car dealership. We completed 38 installations in total including a 240kWp system for their Jaguar Land Rover dealership in Preston.
This installation is expected to generate 204,000kWhs of energy and save 51 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year. This is the equivalent to taking 10 petrol cars off the road permanently.
Following the tender process we were delighted to award our initial contract to Geo Green Power for our trial sites. The process was incredibly smooth from start to finish and our first sites are now enjoying free, green electricity, protecting them against the huge increase in electricity costs that we are seeing. The obvious next step was to crack on and get the same solution installed at more sites.

Who we work with
How much does a commercial solar panel installation cost?
The cost of installing solar panels for a commercial property depends on several key factors:
Roof type – different roof types require different mounting systems, which affect costs. Modern metal roofs are typically the most affordable for solar PV installations.
Roof access – a tailored scaffolding and access plan is included in your proposal, designed to meet your property’s unique requirements. Ensuring the safety of staff, the public, and our team is crucial, and site-specific needs will influence the overall cost.
Electrical system condition – older or outdated electrical systems may require upgrades, which will be itemized in the proposal.
Chosen products – Geo Green Power uses only high-quality tier one panels, mounting systems, and inverters with extended warranties. The specific components selected will directly affect the total cost of your system.

FAQs for solar panels in Preston
Where can you install solar panels?
Solar panels can be installed on flat or pitched roofs using metal frames to secure them. For new roofs, in-roof solar replaces roof tiles and lies flush with the surface. Solar slate tiles mimic regular slate for listed buildings. Panels can also go on building facades.
For large sites without suitable roof space, ground installations work well.

Are there any local grants available for solar panels in Preston?
We aren’t aware of any specific grants available for installing solar panels in the Preston area, however an investment in renewable energy may be eligible for business development grant funding.
We recommend talking to your local council for information on business development grants in your area.
Do I need Planning Permission?
If planning permission is needed, we can provide full support with applications to streamline the process. Some key limits are:
- A roof mounted solar installation must not protrude more than 200mm, unless it is a flat roof installation where the solar PV must be less than 1m above the highest part of the flat roof.
- A roof mounted solar installation must be further than 1m away from the edge of the roof or wall joint. For AONB or similarly restricted locations, the panels must not be on the roof slope or wall facing the road.
- Solar installations should be sited so as to minimise their effect on the external appearance of the property and the amenity of the area, while unused equipment should be removed as soon as possible.
Listed buildings, scheduled monuments and world heritage sites require permission. We advise on requirements and assist with applications for quick approval.
What finance options are available for businesses looking to invest in solar panels?
There are a number of options for businesses to access finance to fund a solar PV project. These range from Asset Finance and Power Purchase Agreements to solar panel leasing schemes.
There is more information on these finance options here.
