How PV can I have installed on my roof?
Depending on several factors, like orientation, pitch, and latitude, PV panels provide approximately 180-230W/m². Below is a list of rough outputs you might expect from a given area of roof:
For this rule of thumb assume the building footprint is equal to the roof area.
- 500m² => 100kW
- 2,000m² => 360kW
- 5,000m² => 1,000kW
Note that if you have skylights you wish to keep this will reduce your capacity considerably. Contact us to undertake a free of charge detailed sizing for your building. You can also read our full commercial solar panels and PV installation guide for costs, savings and funding options.

Do I need to service the solar system?
Solar PV systems do require regular servicing as despite there being no moving parts there are sometimes failures of strings and inverters which will reduce yield if not spotted quickly and rectified. The panels will also need cleaning periodically if they are in a location where dust and debris may collect on them. If this happens the shading from the dust etc can affect the output of the whole system quite significantly so you do need to make sure the panels are kept clean.
Every year you should get the system inspected by a qualified installer to check the inverters and panel strings are all working correctly.
Myriad can undertake the cleaning and can also inspect and test any panel and inverter type so please call the office if you would like a quote for this.

Minimum Requirements for a Good Return on your PV Installation
If your site meet at least 3 of these then we would be very confident in your system yielding a simple payback of between 3-4 years*.
- Building footprint / Roof area > 500m2
- Annual bill > £40k
- Annual consumption > 200,000 kWh
- Roof not subject to significant shading
*Payback calculated on a metal trapezoidal roof. More complex roof materials will increase the payback time.
3 phase electricity on site is required
How much will the PV installation cost?
For roof mounted solar PV systems the capital cost of a fully installed system is typically between £500/kW and £650/kW giving a typical pay back between 2-5 years.
Rough Guide
| PV System Size | Typical Installation Price | |
|---|---|---|
| 100kW | £60k - £65k | |
| 250kW | £140k - £160k | |
| 1000kW | £500k - £600k |
*Prices given for are for metal roof materials. For flat roofs, ground mount etc the prices will differ.

How Much Will A Commercial Solar PV System Save?
1kW of solar panel will typically yield between 700 and 900kWh of electricity per year, depending upon the panel efficiency, orienta on, angle to the horizontal and geographical location.
For each 1kW installed a saving of approximately £246 is made each year*
*assumes an electricity cost of 25p/kWh
Rough Guide
| PV System Size | Typical Annual Saving | |
|---|---|---|
| 100kW | £25k | |
| 250kW | £60k | |
| 1000kW | £240k |
