Commercial Solar PV Solutions
Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence
iGen designs, supplies, and installs commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) solutions to enable businesses to reduce energy costs and help you reach your environmental goals.
Solar PV
iGen specialises in commercial solar PV solutions, focusing on designing and installing solar power systems. Every project we undertake is carefully analysed in depth so that we fully understand the client’s objectives.
Solar Carports
iGen creates next-generation, bespoke solar power carports for businesses. Our technical experts intricately design each commercial solar carport to suit each client’s needs and energy requirements.
Battery Storage
Our battery storage options complement our commercial solar PV solutions, ensuring energy efficiency and reliability through energy storage during the day (or from the grid when energy rates are low).

Our Expertise
Generation Forecasting
We use specialist solar power design software to simulate system performance based on the latest technologies and specific location details. These include localised climate data, building height, orientation, roof pitch, and environmental conditions, including localised shading from neighbouring trees and buildings. Solar investors can be assured of their return on investment and long-term energy security, as this also allows us to predict a solar system’s performance accurately. So, if a particular BREEAM rating is required for a new development, we can determine the most efficient system to deliver the kWh needed.Using the latest technologies, we use specialist Solar PV design software to simulate system performance.
Design & CAD Layouts
We provide detailed CAD versions of the solar panel layout overlaid onto the architects’ roof plans, highlighting any clashes with the existing plant, sufficient walkways, location of cable penetrations, etc. Electrical schematics will also be issued detailing the system and how it interfaces with the building’s wider electrical installation. We can also advise you on integrating solar power with other technologies, such as battery storage and EV charging systems.
Cost Analysis
By combining our simulation and design expertise, we can assess the most cost-effective way to achieve the required solar power output. We will also cross-reference the BRUKL documentation and Energy Strategy to ensure there are no inaccuracies. This has been proven to highlight very significant cost savings at the tender stage for a number of contractors that we work with.
Project Management
iGen will liaise with the relevant trades, including the roofing and M&E contractors before we start on-site to ensure a seamless construction phase. We will issue layouts before starting our work and maintain involvement at the director level throughout the project. Handover and commissioning documentation will be prepared and ready to submit as soon as our work is complete.
Solar Panel Financing
We can assist Property owners/ Landlords generate additional income by preparing PPA options, effectively selling their clean solar electricity to their future tenants, providing an additional revenue stream and benefitting the tenants with low-rate lean electricity. Businesses with existing premises can also access solar power without any capital, whereby iGen can arrange a PPA investment in your building, securing low fixed rate clean energy for the next 20-25 years.
Liaison with Stakeholders
We work closely with DNO/IDNOs (Distribution Network Operators/Independent Distribution Network Operators), such as Western Power Distribution, etc., to connect the solar power system to their network. This can take up to 3 months and needs to be considered early on in the process to avoid any delays to project handover, etc. In some cases, the DNO can require export limitations on upgrades to the infrastructure, which can have significant cost implications and need to be highlighted before the commencement of work.
Operation & Maintenance
iGen has a simple three-tier system ranging from an annual panel clean to a yearly service and panel clean with a complete system warranty covering labour and materials. We also offer remote system monitoring, remote meter reading, FIT claiming, and PPA invoicing for landlords charging their tenants for on-site solar electricity.
