High quality Solar PV installers
At Noble Green Energy, we provide sustainable, onsite and low carbon green energy solutions for a range of commercial, industrial and agricultural businesses. Speak to us to unlock the power of Solar PV.
The benefits of Solar PV
As a tried and tested technology, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is the go-to solution for organisations looking to invest in onsite, low carbon technologies. From first contact, we work closely with our clients to fully understand their onsite operations and energy usage profile along with any sustainability and environmental targets.
Once complete understanding has been achieved, we design the optimum PV system with the appropriate technologies to deliver the required results.
Return on investment & savings
With annual ROI for commercial Solar PV of around 25-35%, the greater your percentage of self-consumption, the better and faster your returns.
Each unit of electricity produced by your solar panels that is consumed onsite reduces your grid reliance. The more energy that you use, the better your returns will be. For additional electricity produced by the solar panels that is not used by your business, we can arrange an export contract to sell your electricity, where required.

Our partners in Solar PV
We design a solar system bespoke to individual client needs, installing only the highest quality products from Tier 1 manufacturers, fitted to exceptionally high standards.
We have experience with all common inverter manufacturers including SolarEdge, Solis, SMA, Goodwe and Fronius, and will select a solution that meets your needs, factoring in size, location, drivers, safety considerations and budget.
For Roof Mount, we find that SolarEdge offers a premium solution and additional benefits that meet the demands of our commercial and industrial customers, particularly when it comes to fire risk, safety and insurance stipulations.
For Ground Mount configurations, depending on location and size, we will source from our range of approved suppliers to find the most suitable solution for your installation and budget.
More often than not we tend to specify Canadian Solar for your solar array. As a global leader in solar energy solutions, their trusted products offer 12 Years Enhanced Product Warranty on Materials and Workmanship and 25 Years Linear Power Performance Warranty. We can however supply from other manufacturers if preferred and suitable for your installation.
Solar Edge – a safer & higher yield system
The benefits of SolarEdge
PV modules generate electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current (DC). Inverters then convert the DC power to alternative current (AC) used to power homes and businesses. Inverter costs are up to 20% of the overall solar energy system but manage 100% of the system production. Therefore, inverter selection is critical for the long-term financial performance of a PV system as it can maximise energy production and reduce lifetime costs.
SolarEdge Power Optimisers are directly connected to each module and turn the “dumb” modules into smart modules. The Power Optimisers increase energy output from your PV system by constantly tracking the maximum power point (MPPT) of each module individually.
The performance information of each module is communicated to the SolarEdge Monitoring Platform to facilitate remote diagnostics and maintenance.
The Solar Array utilises optimisers on a panel-by-panel or bi-panel basis so, if one panel is affected by shading/soiling etc, other panels in the string remain unaffected.
Safety first with SolarEdge SafeDC™
Protecting people and property through a safe working environment is SolarEdge’s number one priority – which is why their systems meet the highest benchmarks of insurance companies and worldwide regulations.
Each SolarEdge Power Optimiser is equipped with their unique SafeDC™ technology to ensure system voltage is automatically reduced to touch-safe levels (1V DC per module) within five minutes of grid failure or inverter shutdown. This is crucial for installation, maintenance, and emergency situations.
When you choose SolarEdge with SafeDC™ you are not only prioritising the safety of your people and property, you are likely to also meet the demands of your insurers, often with more favourable premiums.
Remote diagnostics and maintenance with SolarEdge Monitoring
Key considerations when choosing a commercial Solar PV provider
Noble Green Energy are highly experienced to support and guide you through the decision-making process, ensuring all your concerns are addressed.
Safety as a priority
Safe DC and Sense Connect offer heat detection, arc-fault detection and intervention – without this there is increased fire risk, increased risk of fire services not assisting and therefore also potential significant insurance issues/costs.
DNO and G100 Compliance
Are you confident your equipment complies with new stipulations from the DNOs and do your suppliers know about this? Has the DNO confirmed they’re happy for the system size to be installed with any export limitations?
Operation & Maintenance Packages
Does your supplier have an O&M offering, how comprehensive is this and what are the qualifications of the person/team overseeing the monitoring and targeting? Ask about our Operation & Maintenance packages.
Permanent Safety Systems/Roof Access
Are systems being designed to leave permanent roof access and safety systems to be able to maintain the solar without very high access costs each time?
Structural Surveys
Have these already been undertaken? It is highly likely that whole roof coverage will not be allowed where there is a multi-apex roof due to snow loading in the valleys.
Financial Security
As a long-term investment how confident are you that the company you are working with will be in existence in 20,10, 5 or even 3 years’ time?
Warranties
SE warranties will be 20 years on panels and optimisers. Typical string inverters are 5 years with potential to extend to 10 at significant additional costs. Are you incorporating lifetime costs? Who will replace the inverters as the warranties only cover the product itself, not installation?
Module level optimisation
SE systems can be optimised at the module or bi-module level, as opposed to string systems where a decrease in efficiency of one module affects all in the string.
Electrical Credentials
Who is actually designing the solar system, and who is then managing the electrical installation to ensure compliance?
Permitted Development Rights
Have you been advised to apply for this at each Site? We integrate this as part of a belt-and-braces approach to ensure compliance.

Featured Case Study
CHEP Manchester Solar PV Installation
CHEP have been working with Noble Green Energy to reduce carbon usage and cut electricity costs.
Following on from the successful Solar installation at CHEP’s Pontefract site, Noble Green Energy were commissioned to install a system at CHEP’s Manchester site.
The factory and office roof now house 822 Canadian Solar 435W panels that make up the 357kWp system.
