Solar park for businesses — from rooftop to megawatt scale

A solar park is an investment for a business that lowers fixed costs and protects against swings in the electricity price. We install rooftop systems for self-consumption as well as large parks that sell to the grid — from zero-export solutions up to megawatt capacity. We give the payback calculation before you decide, not after.

In brief

  • A 15 kW rooftop system costs €9,840 + VAT, a 15 kW ground-mounted system €10,940 + VAT — a starting point for a smaller system; larger parks are project-based.
  • Ground-mounted plants scale up to a megawatt, including for selling to the grid.
  • Zero export solves the situation where selling to the grid is not allowed or sensible — all production is used on site.
  • From the same system you can also order battery storage to cover consumption peaks (Deye BOS-A) and charging solutions for employees or customers.
  • We give the payback calculation before you decide, not after — we take into account self-consumption, zero-export and grid-sale scenarios.

What can be installed for a business?

We install rooftop systems, ground-mounted plants, battery storage, charging solutions and hybrid inverters — all from one place, compatible with each other.

How much does a solar park for a business cost?

A 15 kW rooftop system costs €9,840 + VAT and a 15 kW ground-mounted system €10,940 + VAT, both including installation. This is the starting point for a smaller self-consumption system — the price of larger parks is project-based.

Prices exclude VAT and a battery. The price of larger parks is affected most by capacity, distance to the connection point and site preparation. We inspect the site and give a transparent quote with no later extras.

Rooftop or ground-mounted — which suits a business?

Rooftop suits self-consumption when the roof of the production building or warehouse is free. Ground-mounted suits you if you want higher capacity or plan to sell part of the production to the grid.

Zero export and selling to the grid

A company solar park has three basic configurations: sell the surplus to the grid, limit sales to the grid to zero, or stay off-grid.

SolutionGrid connectionSurplus goesWhen it fits
Grid-selling plantYesTo the grid, for saleWhen the connection agreement allows production
Zero exportYesNone arises — output is limitedWhen selling to the grid is not allowed or sensible
Off-grid plantNoInto the batteryRemote sites with no grid connection

Zero export means the plant is connected to the grid but set up so that it does not sell to the grid — the system continuously measures consumption and reduces the inverter output as soon as production exceeds consumption — or limits inverter power to match what is being consumed on site. It is needed when the grid operator limits feed-in or when the connection agreement does not allow production to be fed into the grid. Zero export works best together with battery storage or when daytime consumption is high — otherwise part of the production goes unused.

An asymmetric hybrid inverter helps set up zero export more precisely, because it directs power to the phase where consumption currently is — read more about asymmetric output.

Battery storage for industry and covering consumption peaks

Starting production equipment creates short consumption peaks for which the connection capacity would otherwise have to be increased. A Deye BOS-A battery system covers these peaks on site.

Besides peak shaving, the battery also raises self-consumption: the midday production surplus goes into the battery, not cheaply to the grid, and covers the evening or morning consumption peak. You will find all models, dimensions and technical data on the battery storage page.

Charging solutions for employees and customers

As electric car use grows, charging is becoming more and more important for businesses, housing associations and public places too.

Semi-public charging point

Charging for a specific user group — for example a company's employees, customers or the residents of an apartment building.

Public charging station

Suits places where different EV users need charging.

Where does a charging point usually fit?

  • company and office car parks
  • housing associations and new developments
  • hotels, restaurants and service locations
  • shopping centres and public car parks

We help you choose the right charger according to how it will be used and what your electrical grid allows — VOOL chargers support the OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 protocols and automatic load sharing between several charging points. The charger is connected to the same system and uses the company's own solar energy first.

How does installing a company solar park work?

A smaller 15 kW system is completed in one working day. Larger projects take longer, but the process is the same five steps.

  1. We inspect the siteWe assess the suitability of the production building roof or plot, the connection capacity and the consumption profile.
  2. We calculate paybackWe give the payback calculation before the decision, not after — self-consumption, zero export or selling to the grid.
  3. We prepare a quoteCapacity, production forecast and price — transparent, with no later extras.
  4. We design and sort out permitsWe deal with Elektrilevi and, where needed, the local municipality on the company's behalf.
  5. We install and hand overMounts, panels, inverter, cabling, monitoring and measurement protocol according to standards.

Payback calculation before you decide

We give the payback calculation before you decide, not after — taking into account the company's actual consumption profile, connection capacity and the chosen setup (self-consumption, zero export or selling to the grid).

The typical payback period for a smaller self-consumption system is 6–7 years without a battery and subsidies, and panels last over 25 years. The payback of a larger, project-based park depends on how much of the production goes to self-consumption — the more energy is used on site, the faster the investment pays off, because on self-consumed electricity you avoid paying the electricity price as well as the grid fee and the renewable energy charge.

Self-consumption can be raised with battery storage, EV chargers and by scheduling larger loads for the daytime.

Why should a business invest in a solar park?

Lower fixed costs

Electricity produced for self-consumption carries no electricity price, grid fee or renewable energy charge — a cost that otherwise comes again every month.

Protection against price swings

Part of the energy need is covered by your own production, so a rise in the exchange price affects the company's costs less.

Energy independence

Reduces dependence on grid load and supply disruptions, especially together with battery storage.

A visible step in sustainability

Producing your own renewable energy is a measurable and verifiable part of the company's environmental reporting.

Does a business need a permit?

A smaller rooftop system usually only needs an agreement with Elektrilevi on the connection. A larger ground-mounted plant mostly needs a municipal procedure.

We clarify the need for permits already at the site visit and sort out all the documents for the company — read more on the rooftop and ground-mounted pages. Planning the system for a home rather than a business? See solutions for homes.

Frequently asked questions about a company solar park

How much does a solar park for a business cost?

A 15 kW rooftop system costs €9,840 + VAT and a 15 kW ground-mounted system €10,940 + VAT — this is the starting point for a smaller self-consumption system. The price of larger parks is project-based: capacity, distance to the connection point and site preparation affect it most. We give the payback calculation and the price before you decide.

What is zero export and when does a business need it?

Zero export means the plant is connected to the grid but set up so that it does not sell to the grid — all production is used on site. It is needed when the grid operator limits feed-in or when the connection agreement does not allow production to be fed into the grid. The system reduces the inverter output as soon as production exceeds consumption, or limits inverter power to match what is being consumed on site.

Does a company solar park have to sell its production to the grid?

No. Most business customers build the plant for self-consumption — that way it pays for itself faster, because on self-consumed electricity you pay no electricity price, grid fee or renewable energy charge. Selling to the grid is one option of three: self-consumption, zero export or selling, depending on the connection agreement and the consumption profile.

How large can a company solar park grow?

A rooftop system is limited by the roof area; a ground-mounted plant can grow up to a megawatt if the land and the connection agreement allow. On larger sites we also install Deye 30–50 kW high-voltage hybrid inverters.

Can battery storage be installed in a production building to cover consumption peaks?

Yes. The Deye BOS-A battery system (53.76–161.28 kWh) cuts short consumption peaks, so the connection capacity does not have to be increased for them. See models and capacities on the battery storage page.

Can a business offer EV charging to employees or customers?

Yes. We install semi-public charging points (for example for employees or customers only) and public charging stations in car parks, at offices and shopping centres. VOOL chargers support the OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 protocols and automatic load sharing between several chargers.

How long does installing a company solar park take?

A 15 kW system is completed in one working day. Larger, project-based parks take longer — the schedule is specified with the quote, as it depends on capacity and the permit process.

Does a business need a building permit?

A smaller rooftop system usually only needs an agreement with Elektrilevi on the connection. A larger ground-mounted plant mostly needs a municipal procedure. We clarify the need for permits already at the site visit and sort them out for the company.
