One thing UK households don't find out until after installation.

You cannot export excess energy from your home solar system in the UK without meeting one specific requirement.

The grid will not pay for your surplus energy unless your property qualifies for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

The SEG is the only legitimate route for UK households to earn from their excess solar generation, but there are specific criteria you need to meet first.

Here's what you need to qualify:

- You must be based in the UK, only UK-based households are eligible for SEG payments.

- Your system capacity must be under 5 megawatts, the renewable energy system you install must fall below the 5MW threshold to qualify.

- Your installation must be MCS certified, the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) ensures your installation meets the required quality and safety standards.

- You must not be receiving FiT payments, if you are still receiving Feed-in Tariff (FiT) payments, you must be able to opt out of these before becoming eligible for SEG.

Our client’s project got abandoned midway by the contractors. Storytime:

"I would highly recommend Albaze to M&E contractors and homeowners alike."

Our client, Dean Vine, said this after we helped him rescue his project.

Dean was midway through one of his complex M&E projects in London. Everything was on track until something unexpected happened.

His contractors just walked away in the mid-project, leaving him with a looming deadline and no one to call.

That’s when Dean reached out to Ablaze.

We took full ownership. Told Dean that his project is now in safe hands, and then we did what we always do:

- Mapped the whole project
- Tackled every challenge along the way
- Delivered the installation as promised

In Dean's own words:

"Ablaze got involved in a very complicated project in London very late in the day, after being let down by another contractor. They came in, overcame the challenges they faced, put a great, detailed design together, and delivered a great install. I would highly recommend them to M&E contractors and homeowners alike."

Dean isn't the only one.

We've helped more than 300 business owners, contractors, and homeowners successfully complete their solar projects across the UK.

The UK generated over 52.5% of its electricity from renewable sources in 2025.

For the second year in a row, renewable energy has supplied more than half of the country's total power, and the share keeps growing.

Here's the exact mix:

1. Gas

- Energy produced: 8.37 GW
- Share of generation: 27.40%

2. Solar

- Energy produced: 2.02 GW
- Share of generation: 6.60%

3. Wind

- Energy produced: 10.60 GW
- Share of generation: 34.60%

4. Hydroelectric

- Energy produced: 0.38 GW
- Share of generation: 1.30%

5. Nuclear

- Energy produced: 3.83 GW
- Share of generation: 12.50%

6. Biomass

- Energy produced: 2.33 GW
- Share of generation: 7.60%

Wind now carries over a third of the entire UK grid on its own.

And yet solar sits at just 6.6%, making it one of the most underleveraged energy sources in the mix, despite the UK's aggressive push to expand solar capacity across the country. The growth potential is enormous.

Mostly, you see solar on the roof, but you don’t know the process behind it. Here’s exactly how it’s done:

1. Set up the scaffolding

Before installing the panels, the scaffolding goes up. It provides safe and stable access to the roof.

2. Install the solar mounts

The mounts are the foundation of the solar panels. They are angled correctly to maximise solar exposure based on the site's orientation.

3. Mount the solar panels

Panels are placed on the mounts and handled carefully to avoid micro-cracks and damage that could kill performance.

4. Secure the electric wiring

Cables are routed, insulated, and protected across the roof and the building.

5. Connect the solar inverter

This point is pretty much self-explanatory.

6. Bond the inverter to the solar battery

The inverter is linked to the battery storage unit so you can store excess energy generated by your PV system for later use.

7. Test the newly installed solar panels

Before signing off, the entire system is tested to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

How we helped Rob install 2 new solar arrays for his company in Islington:

When we first met Rob, he was looking for a reliable team with a clear, end-to-end process. He wanted everything to be handled in-house.

We started with a complete site assessment before a single panel was ordered. From there, we managed the DNO application in-house, keeping the process on track from day one.

Both arrays were then designed, installed, and commissioned, with Rob kept fully informed at every stage.

The result: two fully operational solar arrays delivering solar energy for the next 25+ years.

Here's what Rob had to say:

"Albaze Green Energy Solutions installed 2 new arrays for my company for a project we had in Islington. I was extremely impressed with their installation and how they delivered all aspects of the work throughout."

Rob's experience isn't the exception at Ablaze. It's the standard.

To date, we've helped businesses and contractors across the UK install over 304 commercial PV systems, each one delivered with the same end-to-end ownership and attention to detail.

If you run a commercial operation in the UK and you haven't had a proper solar assessment done, DM Francky and he’ll give you a clear picture of what the numbers look like for your business specifically.

The energy price cap just dropped to £1,641. Everyone is celebrating, but they shouldn’t be. Here’s why:

Ofgem set the April 2026 price cap at £1,641, down £117 from the previous quarter.

The April reduction reflects wholesale prices from December 2025 to February 2026, a window that has already closed.

Prices have since increased dramatically, driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Here's what the price cap announcement doesn't change:

- Your energy costs are still set by a wholesale market you don't control.

- UK gas production fell to its lowest level since the early 1970s in 2025, and domestic supply isn't coming back.

- Grid upgrade costs are being passed directly to businesses, an additional £65 was added to the April cap alone, with further increases expected over the next five years.

So, every quarter you wait is another quarter of exposure to a market that doesn't move in your favour.

Warning: This might push you to get solar for your business.

Commercial solar ROI is stronger than ever in 2026.

In recent years, the economics of solar has changed completely. Here's why the solar ROI case is so compelling right now:

- Electricity prices have risen over 60% since 2021
- Payback periods of 3–5 years, with an estimated 20% annual ROI over the system's lifetime
- 0% VAT on commercial solar installations under 1MW
- 100% Annual Investment Allowance lets you deduct the full installation cost from taxable profits
- Smart Export Guarantee pays 4–15p/kWh for surplus electricity exported to the grid
- Panels generate energy for 25–30+ years with minimal ongoing costs

If this excites you enough or you still have any questions, shoot Francky a DM, and he’ll get back to you asap.

Solar panels have come a long way since entering the UK market.

Today they are not only more affordable than ever, they are also:

- More technologically advanced
- More energy efficient
- More aesthetically pleasing

Here are 5 types of solar panels worth considering for your business:

1. Monocrystalline Solar Modules

Monocrystalline cells are renowned for their high efficiency and strong performance, even in limited roof space.

- They require less roof area than other panel types
- They perform better in low-light conditions
- They are ideal for space-constrained commercial installations

The trade-off is cost, monocrystalline panels are the most expensive option due to their complex manufacturing process.

2. Polycrystalline Solar Modules

Made using a simpler production process, polycrystalline modules are:

- Less expensive to manufacture
- More widely available
- A practical option for larger roof areas

However, they come with lower efficiency ratings (15–17%) compared to monocrystalline panels, so more roof space is typically required for the same output.

3. Thin-Film Solar Cells

Thin-film cells are produced by layering photovoltaic materials onto a surface. Common materials include:

- Amorphous Silicon (a-Si)
- Cadmium Telluride (CdTe)
- Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS)

These cells are easy to mass-produce, cost-effective, and well-suited to unconventional or curved installation surfaces.

4. Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells

Amorphous silicon cells use stacked layers of non-crystalline silicon (a-Si) to generate electricity.

Despite their flexibility and low production cost, they remain the least efficient of the main solar cell types, with efficiency ratings typically ranging between 6–10%.

5. Biohybrid Solar Cells

Biohybrid solar cells are the latest.

They combine biological components, such as photosynthetic proteins, to mimic the natural process of energy conversion found in plants, potentially unlocking efficiency levels beyond conventional photovoltaic technology.

If you’re struggling which option would be right for your business, DM Francky and he’ll give you a clear picture of everything.

How many solar panels do you need to cover your business’s energy consumption?

Small-sized business:

- ~84 panels
- ~168m² of roof space
- ~22,500 kWh generated annually

Medium-sized business:

- ~142 panels
- ~284m² of roof space
- ~37,500 kWh generated annually

Large Business:

- 250+ panels
- ~500m² of roof space
- ~65,000 kWh generated annually

But these are estimates, not guarantees.

The precise scale of a commercial solar system depends on three things specific to your business:

- Your energy consumption
- Sunlight yield in your location
- Your available roof space

Get these three right, and you'll have a PV system built to meet your energy needs from day one.

If you run a commercial operation in the UK and you haven't had a proper solar assessment done, DM Francky and he’ll give you a clear picture of what the numbers look like for your business specifically.
