Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial solar installation cost?
Commercial solar installations typically range from £15,000 to £250,000+ depending on system size, roof type and whether battery storage is included. Most commercial systems achieve payback within 4–7 years through reduced energy bills and export income. We provide free no-obligation surveys and detailed financial projections for every project.
Is solar worth it for a farm in the UK?
Yes — farms are ideal candidates for solar. High daytime energy consumption from machinery, refrigeration and lighting aligns well with solar generation profiles. Combined with battery storage and wind turbines, farms can achieve 70–90%+ self-sufficiency. Agricultural solar installations also benefit from favourable planning rules and may qualify for capital allowances.
What battery storage systems do you install?
We install leading battery storage systems including Sunsynk, SolaX and Dyness — all carrying 10-year warranties. We design systems to match your specific consumption profile, ensuring maximum self-use of solar generation and backup power during grid outages.
Do you install solar panels for homes in Lancashire?
Yes — we install domestic solar panels and battery storage across Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester and the wider UK. We offer both standard on-roof and in-roof solar installations, and can integrate EV charging and battery storage into a single home energy system.
Are you MCS certified solar installers?
Yes. Squirrel Energy is MCS certified, which is a requirement for solar installations that qualify for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) — the government scheme that pays you for surplus electricity exported to the grid. We are also NAPIT registered and members of the Federation of Small Businesses.
What is wind turbine repowering?
Wind turbine repowering involves replacing the ageing electrical components of an existing turbine — such as the inverter, controller and cabling — with modern equivalents, rather than decommissioning the whole turbine. It typically costs 30–50% less than a full replacement and can extend the operational life of a turbine by 25 years or more.
