Commercial Solar Installation: Prime Oak

Insolation Solar recently completed a significant commercial solar PV installation for Prime Oak, one of the UK’s leading oak frame specialists. The project highlights Insolation Solar’s ability to deliver high-capacity, high-performance solar solutions for commercial and industrial businesses seeking long-term energy savings and improved sustainability.

As a local, family-run solar installation company based in the West Midlands, Insolation Solar managed the entire project from initial consultation through to final commissioning. This fully managed approach ensured a smooth, efficient and worry-free experience for the Prime Oak team, supported by clear communication and expert guidance throughout.

Prime Oak required a robust commercial solar system capable of supporting its operational energy demands while reducing reliance on grid electricity. Insolation Solar carried out a detailed site assessment and designed a bespoke solar PV solution that maximised available roof space, energy generation potential and long-term system reliability.

All works were delivered by the Insolation Solar installation team, underlining the company’s commitment to exceptional workmanship and outstanding customer service, and providing clear proof of the quality delivered on every project.

The completed system has a total capacity of 427.7kW and incorporates 940 high-efficiency 455W solar panels, supported by four 100kW SOLAX inverters. Led by our Managing Director, Howard, the installation was delivered by Insolation Solar’s experienced installation team, ensuring the project was completed safely, efficiently and to the highest standards.

This large-scale solar installation delivers significant environmental benefits. Each year, the system generates clean electricity equivalent to planting 1,809 trees, avoids the use of 30,046 litres of petrol, and prevents 34,147kg of coal from being burned. These figures clearly demonstrate the positive impact commercial solar can have in reducing carbon emissions and supporting long-term sustainability objectives.

From a commercial standpoint, the system provides strong and measurable financial returns. Prime Oak is projected to save approximately £65,400 per year on electricity costs, with savings expected to increase over time as energy prices continue to rise. This makes the installation a sound long-term investment as well as a responsible environmental decision.

A key strength of Insolation Solar is its end-to-end service. By managing every stage of the project in-house, including feasibility studies, system design, installation, grid connection and commissioning, Insolation Solar removes complexity and risk for the customer. As a family-run business, the team places a strong emphasis on personal service, reliability and building long-term relationships with commercial clients.

This project demonstrates Insolation Solar’s expertise in delivering large-scale commercial solar PV installations for businesses across the West Midlands and surrounding areas. From manufacturing and warehousing to agricultural and commercial premises, Insolation Solar designs systems that deliver measurable savings, reduced carbon emissions and long-term performance.
