Commercial.
Choose McConnells as your renewables partner for commercial solar panels, battery and heat pump solutions.
Sector Overview
McConnells’ solar panels, heat pumps, and battery storage systems are designed to seamlessly integrate into various types of commercial projects. Whether it is a retrofit on an existing commercial property or a new development, our systems can enhance energy efficiency, and provide significant ongoing operational cost savings.
Our commercial solar panels systems can harness the untapped power of your roof generating significant amounts of electricity. Battery storage can ensure that this electricity doesn’t go to waste and be stored until it is needed. Heat Pumps can provide high efficiency low carbon heating and cooling to workplaces.
By incorporating our advanced renewable technologies, commercial enterprises can achieve greater energy efficiency, reduce their carbon footprint, and support long-term financial savings.
Solar Power your Production
Factories and offices are excellent candidates for retrofitting with solar panels. With high daytime energy use, solar panels can provide a substantial portion of the energy needed for office and manufacturing processes. This reduces reliance on traditional energy sources, lowers operating costs, and enhances energy security. Additionally, solar energy helps meet environmental regulations and sustainability goals, reducing carbon footprints. This also strengthens your green credentials with your client base.
Take Control of Your Energy Security
Battery storage systems can be a valuable addition to manufacturing facilities and offices, enabling the efficient use of stored cheap off-peak electricity and/or solar energy. These systems ensure a continuous power supply during peak demand and off-peak hours, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering energy costs. Battery storage enhances energy resilience, providing backup power during outages and improving overall energy management. By integrating battery storage, businesses can optimise their energy use, achieve sustainability goals, and reinforce their commitment to innovative, eco-friendly solutions.
Reduce your Co2 with Advanced Heat Pump Solutions
Whether you have heating or cooling loads in your offices and production facilities, heat pumps can provide an effective way to reduce your carbon footprint and enhance your green credentials.
Heat pumps can operate at efficiencies in excess of 300%. When combined with the decreasing CO2 burden of electricity compared to fossil fuels, this can lead to substantial reductions in your site’s CO2 output.
McConnells offers tailored solutions ranging from a few kW to MWs of heating and cooling capacity. Sites with both heating and cooling demands can be optimised to achieve efficiencies of up to 800%, maximizing energy savings and environmental benefits.

Frequently asked questions.
What are the financial benefits of solar panels for commercial properties?
Solar panels can drastically reduce a commercial property’s electricity costs by generating clean energy on-site. They also provide opportunities to sell excess energy back to the grid and an opportunity to demonstrate your green credentials to your prospective customers.
How does battery storage reduce peak demand charges for businesses?
Battery storage allows businesses to store energy when demand (and costs) are low and use it during peak periods when grid energy can be more expensive. This reduces demand charges and overall energy bills. This technology also can increase the usefulness of an undersized grid connection where demand can be spread more evenly.
Are heat pumps suitable for commercial heating and cooling?
Yes, heat pumps are highly efficient for both heating and cooling in commercial properties, making them a sustainable alternative to traditional HVAC systems. They help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs.
How can I ensure that my commercial renewable energy system is scalable?
Our systems are designed to be scalable, so they can grow with your business. Whether you’re adding more solar panels, increasing battery storage, or upgrading your heating system, we ensure seamless integration for future expansion.
