Solar for Offices in Glasgow 2026
Glasgow office solar — owner-occupier vs landlord PPA structures.
Quick answer
Offices in Glasgow typically install 30-150kWp of commercial solar PV. The payback depends on how much of the output the site uses during the day, so we model it from your own data, and under the 100% Annual Investment Allowance a company can deduct the cost from its taxable profit in year one.
Why offices in Glasgow make ideal solar candidates
- Working-hours load aligns with generation
- WCS-fundable EV charging for staff retention
- BREEAM credit eligibility
- PPA structures work well for multi-tenant buildings
- Mixed-use commercial blocks attract longer leases with renewables
Three funding routes
- CapEx — outright purchase. Best IRR. 50% first-year capital allowance.
- Lease — fixed monthly payments, zero upfront cost.
- PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) — third-party owns the asset, you buy electricity at a fixed lower rate. Zero CapEx.
DNO process in Glasgow
Most commercial installs above 3.68 kW per phase (16 A — the G98 limit) require a G99 application to the local DNO. We submit, track and chase on your behalf — typical connection-offer timeline 6-12 weeks.
