Commercial roofs
Solar panels for businesses: collect quotes for your commercial roof
Shop, office, warehouse, hotel or farm: businesses with high daytime consumption can collect solar energy system quotes in one place.
Short answer
A solar energy system on a business roof covers part of the company's electricity use with renewable energy generated on site. On Ufkon you create your request for free; projects of 16–100 kWp fall into the small commercial tier, and approved firms interested in the project unlock it and message you.
What matters for a business?
- Consumption profile: solar energy is generated during the day; if your use peaks in daytime, you consume a larger share of what you generate directly.
- Bill history: the last 12 months of consumption and the subscription details help firms size the system correctly.
- Building and roof: if you are a tenant, confirm the owner's consent; check the roof's age and load capacity (structural condition) early.
- Connection: how energy fed into the grid is credited depends on current regulations; confirm the details with the firm and the distribution company.
- Accounting and financing: review the tax and financing side of the investment with your accountant.
How your business project moves forward
-
01 Estimate the size
Find the approximate kWp from your monthly bill or consumption with the capacity calculator.
-
02 Create a project request
Enter the location, roof type and consumption. Your company name and contact details stay sealed until a firm unlocks the request.
-
03 Message and, if you like, request bids
You message the firms that unlock your request on the platform, plan a site survey and, if you like, request bids on one template.
Compare bids in cost per kWp
Systems of different sizes are hard to compare by total price. Cost per kWp is the total price excluding VAT divided by installed capacity, and puts bids on the same scale. Requesting bids on Ufkon is optional; if you do, firms fill in one template and the unit cost sits side by side.
Unit cost alone is not a decision rule: also align excluded items, warranty terms and equipment choice. Details: guide to getting solar panel quotes.
Rules for businesses
- Your first project request is free; no card details are needed and your email is verified with a code.
- Until a firm unlocks your request, firms see only technical details such as province/district, roof type and approximate kWp; your name and contact details stay sealed.
- There is no limit on the number of firms: every approved firm interested in your project can unlock it once, and you see each unlock in your dashboard.
- The firm pays the unlock fee; the fee depends on project size (the kWp tier).
- Messaging starts only with a firm that has unlocked your request, on the platform.
- Requesting bids is optional; if you do, bids follow one template and sit side by side in cost per kWp.
- Once you close your request, no new firm can unlock it.
- Ufkon does not install and takes no commission on your deal; the contract, payment and warranty are between you and the firm.
Frequently asked questions
Does getting solar panel quotes for a business cost anything?
Your first project request is free and no card details are needed. The firm pays the unlock fee; Ufkon takes no commission on your deal.
Can I install solar panels as a tenant?
The owner's consent and the length of your lease are decisive. Settling this before you ask for quotes helps firms make an accurate proposal.
What is the payback period?
It depends on your consumption profile, electricity tariff, system price and yield, so a single figure would mislead. Ask firms for a generation and savings estimate that states its assumptions.
