Who we work with
Is it worth installing solar panels in Southampton?
Investing in solar PV makes sense for all UK postcodes, and the further south you go the more hours of sunlight you will have.
Installing solar panels in Southampton will help you take control of your energy needs. Solar power allows businesses to take control of their energy and enjoy a number of benefits:
- Reduced energy bills – Southampton businesses can generate a significant proportion of their own electricity with solar panels
- Increased energy security – making your business less reliant on grid energy and protecting yourself from price increases
- Improved sustainability – reducing your carbon footprint will help you demonstrate a commitment to the environment
Geo Green Power have been working with businesses across Southampton and the UK since 2010, delivering bespoke renewable energy solutions that provide clean energy and reduce overheads. Our customers include many household names and we pride ourselves on the longstanding relationships we build. We often complete multiple projects with our clients as their businesses grow.
What are the costs of commercial solar panels?
Installing solar panels for a business comes with varying costs, depending on specific circumstances
Roof material is a key determinant of installation costs. Metal roofs, which are easy to adapt for solar panels, are the least expensive option.
Safety measures are at the heart of every project. Detailed access and scaffold plans account for your property's unique challenges, which can influence costs.
Electrical system upgrades may be unavoidable if your building's infrastructure is outdated. These updates, though necessary, are transparently detailed in your quote.
High-grade solar components, including panels and inverters from trusted manufacturers, offer extended warranties and lasting performance. These product choices play a crucial role in determining the system's cost.
We have modelled a simple solar panel system in Southampton to provide an overview of what your investment could generate.

FAQs for solar panels in Southampton
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 Southampton?
We aren’t aware of any specific grants available for installing solar panels in the Southampton 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.
