East Lothian has a strong and varied business base — from prime arable farmland and golf tourism to distilleries, breweries and coastal holiday lets. Many of these businesses have large roofs, open ground and high daytime electricity use, making them ideal candidates for commercial solar and battery storage.
We arrange solar, battery and EV charging for businesses, farms and rural properties across the county. We install through MCS-certified partners, and every system is designed around your premises, your energy use and your bottom line.
Commercial solar in East Lothian
Warehouses, offices, retail units, farm sheds and agricultural outbuildings across East Lothian typically have large, simple roof areas well suited to solar PV. For businesses with high daytime electricity use — cold storage, machinery, lighting, IT — solar generation directly offsets grid purchases at the times you pay the most for electricity.
See our dedicated commercial solar page for roof and ground-mount options, or our farm solar page for agricultural buildings.
Commercial battery storage
A commercial battery stores surplus solar or cheap off-peak electricity and discharges it during peak demand. For businesses on demand-based tariffs, that means peak shaving — reducing the spikes that drive up your unit costs. See our commercial battery storage page.
Farm solar
Prime arable farming (historically called the 'granary of Scotland'), golf tourism around Muirfield, Gullane and North Berwick, holiday lets, Glenkinchie Distillery at Pencaitland and Belhaven Brewery at Dunbar, plus Torness Power Station. Farms in East Lothian often have large shed roofs and open ground — ideal for solar. Our farm solar page covers shed roofs, ground-mount arrays, outbuildings and three-phase supply considerations.
Rural properties
For estates, holiday lets, off-grid and oil-heated rural homes, see our rural properties page. Rural East Lothian properties can benefit significantly from solar and battery, especially where grid supply is limited or heating is oil-based.
Finance for businesses
Interest-free finance available, subject to status. We can talk you through spread-cost options for commercial and farm installations when you request your quote.
