Powering Your Business with Tailored Solar Solutions
At Live Solar, we specialise in delivering tailored solar solutions for a wide range of commercial projects, from small school installations to large engineering plants, doctor surgeries, factories, and even agricultural sites. No matter the scale or complexity of your business, we bring unmatched expertise in designing, installing, and maintaining solar energy systems that are optimised to your specific needs.
Our custom-designed systems are created with maximum efficiency in mind, ensuring that your solar panels are performing at their best, whether you’re installing rooftop systems or large-scale ground-mounted solutions. From the outset, our team works closely with you to understand your energy consumption and site specifics, so we can design a system that delivers the most value. We utilise industry-leading technology and products, including GivEnergy and SolarEdge, to ensure that your system is built to last and performs efficiently over time.
Our experienced team doesn’t just install the system—we’re here to maintain it too, offering ongoing monitoring and performance guarantees to keep everything running smoothly. With automated alert systems, we can spot under performing panels and address issues before they become a problem, ensuring your system remains at peak performance year-round.
We’ve worked across a variety of industries, helping businesses large and small reduce their energy costs, lower their carbon footprint, and increase their energy independence. No project is too big or too small for us, and we’re ready to help your business take the next step toward a greener, more efficient future.
Are We Just Another Solar Solution, or Are We Better?
Why Settle for Less? Discover the Solar Edge Advantage
Safe & Efficient
If there’s ever an issue, the system automatically shuts down, ensuring no risk—especially important if there’s access to children or pets near the panels.
Efficiency
An optimised system can increase energy production by up to 25% compared to traditional string inverters, ensuring each panel performs at its peak.
Smart Solar
With Smart Solar, you can monitor your system’s performance from anywhere in the world, right from your phone, ensuring you’re always in control.
At Live Solar, we’re proud to partner with SolarEdge, a leading provider of optimised solar energy solutions that go far beyond traditional solar power systems. Their cutting-edge technology ensures that your solar installation runs at its highest potential, with an emphasis on safety, performance, and long-term reliability.
One of the key features of the SolarEdge system is its optimised design. Unlike conventional solar systems that rely on string inverters, SolarEdge utilizes power optimisers on each individual panel. This means that each panel operates independently, allowing for maximum efficiency even if one panel is shaded, dirty, or damaged. The system ensures that the under performing panel does not impact the rest of the array, providing higher energy yields and improved overall system performance.
Safety is a top priority with SolarEdge. The system is equipped with advanced safety features that ensure both installers and users are protected. For example, SolarEdge’s SafeDC™ technology offers an immediate shutdown feature in the event of an emergency. This means that if there’s any issue, such as a fire or fault in the system, the voltage is immediately reduced to a safe level, minimizing the risk of electric shock.
Another critical safety advantage is the ability to implement surge protection and export limitation. SolarEdge’s system can limit the amount of energy exported back to the grid, ensuring compliance with local DNO (Distribution Network Operator) and preventing overloading of the grid. This feature not only helps you meet regulatory requirements but also optimises energy management for your property, whether residential, commercial, or industrial.
Solar Panel Installation
We provide MCS-compliant solar panel installations, ensuring high-quality workmanship and regulatory compliance. Our in house team manages everything—from design to installation—using top-tier products for maximum efficiency. We handle all permits such as DNO (connection onto the energy network) to sign off and building regulations, ensuring a hassle-free process. Whether for your home or business, our installations are fast, reliable, and built to last.
Battery and Storage Systems
we offer advanced battery and storage systems to maximize your solar energy use. With options from GiveEnergy and SolarEdge, we provide flexible solutions, including hybrid systems that combine solar energy and battery storage. Our systems allow you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day, so you can use it at night or during periods of high demand.
Off Grid Capacity
Our battery management system optimises energy use by importing energy from the grid at lower rates when it's most affordable and storing it for later use. This allows you to reduce energy costs while maximising your solar energy. For those looking for more independence, our systems also offer off-grid capacity, meaning you can rely entirely on stored energy in the event of a power outage or if you want to disconnect from the grid altogether. This flexibility ensures that you have continuous power, giving you peace of mind no matter the circumstances, while still maximizing your renewable energy usage.

Energy Efficiency Audits
At Live Solar, we offer detailed energy efficiency audits to help you understand how your property consumes energy and where improvements can be made. Our audits evaluate your current energy usage and identify areas where solar panels can make a significant impact. By harnessing the power of the sun, solar panels reduce reliance on grid energy, leading to lower utility bills and a more sustainable home or business. Additionally, solar panels contribute to improving energy efficiency by providing clean, renewable energy, and reducing your carbon footprint.
Maintenance and Monitoring
At Live Solar, we offer comprehensive maintenance and monitoring services to ensure your solar panels are performing at their best year-round. We work with leading manufacturers like GiveEnergy and SolarEdge, providing advanced monitoring solutions that include automated alert systems for under performing panels. With these systems in place, you’ll receive immediate notifications if any panels are not performing optimally, allowing for quick troubleshooting and minimal downtime. Our monitoring services even offer individual panel monitoring, so you can track the performance of each panel and ensure your system is running efficiently.
Warranties
At Live Solar, we take pride in offering high-quality solar panels that come with an extensive 30-year warranty. This warranty includes linear performance guarantees, ensuring that your system will continue to perform at a high standard for decades. Our solar panels are designed for long-term reliability, and we only install products from trusted manufacturers who provide a minimum 10-year product warranty, so you can be confident in the durability and performance of your investment.
