Solar Panel Installation in Birmingham
A commercial city first — larger roofs, business parks and three-phase supplies.
Impression Electrical & Building installs commercial solar across Birmingham — larger roofs, business parks and three-phase supplies — alongside residential systems. Our nearest flagship is the 50kW, 300-panel install at Birmingham Business Park. Established 2019.
Birmingham is where our commercial solar work concentrates. It's a city of business parks, industrial units and larger commercial roofs, and that's the kind of solar we're growing hardest — systems sized to cut the power a business buys during working hours.
There's residential work here too, but the city's real solar opportunity is commercial scale, on the heavier three-phase supplies that most business premises run on.
Birmingham is around thirty minutes north of the base, and we go into the city regularly for commercial work.
Commercial solar across Birmingham
For businesses across the city and its parks, we design against consumption data and the roof, so the system targets your daytime load rather than a headline figure. Larger roofs and multi-building sites are part of the work.
Our flagship nearby is Birmingham Business Park: 50kW and 300 panels for a multinational near the NEC, targeting CO2 reduction, with 150MWh generated to date.
Three-phase, larger roofs and fragile buildings
Commercial premises usually run on three-phase — the heavier supply that carries larger systems. Many city roofs also weren't built with an installation crew in mind.
At Birmingham Business Park the roof was fragile enough that we worked entirely off boards and replaced damaged tiles as we went. Protecting the building is part of the job, not an extra.
Residential solar too
We do install solar and battery on Birmingham homes, from suburban semis to larger properties. The design principle is the same as anywhere: size it to the roof and to how the household uses power.
If you're a homeowner rather than a business, the residential process and the survey-first approach still apply.

20kW solar and 20kW storage across multiple outbuildings at Lapworth
A rural Warwickshire property on a three-phase supply, with the array spread across several buildings and the DC runs in underground ducting. We presented three designs and specced the right kit, not the cheapest. Site consumption fell by 40%.

Solar is one side of what we do. We also install EV charging and handle electrical work across Birmingham and the surrounding area.
Solar in Birmingham: your questions
Do you specialise in commercial solar in Birmingham?
Yes. Birmingham is where our commercial solar work concentrates — business parks, industrial units and larger roofs on three-phase supplies. Our nearby Birmingham Business Park install was 50kW and 300 panels.
How large a commercial system can you install?
We design to the roof and your consumption rather than a fixed ceiling. Systems of 50kW and beyond, across single or multiple buildings, are core work — Birmingham Business Park is a live example.
Can you install on a fragile or older commercial roof?
Yes. Many city roofs need protecting during work. At Birmingham Business Park we worked entirely off roof boards and replaced damaged tiles as we went, so the building was left better than we found it.
Do you install solar on Birmingham homes as well?
Yes. Alongside the commercial work we install residential solar and battery across the city, sized to the roof and how the household uses power, with the same survey-first approach.
