A Landlord's Guide to Solar and EV on Let Buildings
Lease structures, planning, and how to make rooftop PV and car park charging work on FRI-let commercial estates.
Most workplace and commercial car park installs fall under permitted development. We confirm site by site as part of feasibility, alongside pre-application discussions and condition discharge where planning is required.
Working around FRI leases
Full repairing and insuring leases do not stop a rooftop or car park project — they change the structure. Options include landlord-led installs with service charge recovery, tenant-direct installs with landlord consent, or new lease clauses added at re-letting.
We also offer tailored O&M packages once assets are live: remote monitoring, scheduled maintenance, reactive call-out, and performance reporting.
