Project Overview
Live Solar Ltd recently delivered a major commercial solar installation for Peak Converters Ltd, helping the business take a significant step toward long-term energy security and sustainability.
The project involved the design and installation of a 250 kWp rooftop solar system, transforming unused roof space into a powerful renewable energy asset capable of generating a substantial portion of the company’s electricity demand.
With energy prices continuing to rise across the UK, Peak Converters made a strategic investment of over £200,000 to reduce reliance on grid electricity, lower operating costs and strengthen their long-term sustainability strategy.
The system now allows the business to generate clean electricity directly from the sun while reducing both carbon emissions and exposure to volatile energy markets.

This installation transformed the roof of the Peak Converters facility into a large-scale renewable energy generator.
The Challenge
Peak Converters operates a busy commercial facility with significant electricity demand. Rising energy costs had become an increasing concern, prompting the company to explore ways of improving energy efficiency while strengthening its sustainability credentials.
The goal of the project was to design a solar system capable of generating a meaningful portion of the building’s electricity requirements while integrating safely with the existing infrastructure.
This required:
• Detailed site surveys and structural assessments
• Accurate solar modelling and system design
• Careful optimisation of panel placement
• Safe installation procedures for a large commercial roof
• Seamless electrical integration with the building
By carefully planning the installation, Live Solar was able to design a system capable of delivering strong performance throughout the year.
System Design and Installation
Following detailed modelling and consultation with the client, Live Solar designed a 250 kWp commercial rooftop solar system optimised for the building’s roof space and energy profile.
Key elements of the installation include:
• Large-scale rooftop solar array
• Commercial-grade inverter technology
• High-efficiency solar panels
• Optimised electrical design and cabling infrastructure
• Performance monitoring systems
The installation process required careful coordination to ensure the project was completed safely while minimising disruption to the client’s operations.
Once complete, the building was transformed into a major renewable energy generator capable of producing significant clean electricity every day.
Supporting Sustainability Leadership
Peak Converters Ltd has demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices.
This commitment was recognised when the company was awarded Excellence in Sustainability at the British Furniture Association – Future of Furniture Awards.
The solar installation plays a key role in supporting this achievement by helping the business reduce its environmental impact and operate more efficiently.
Investments like this show how companies across the UK can combine innovation and renewable energy to create a more sustainable future for their industries.
Financial and Environmental Benefits
Commercial solar installations provide both immediate and long-term advantages for businesses.
For Peak Converters Ltd, the system will deliver:
• Reduced electricity costs
