What drives the cost

System size — bigger roofs and higher usage mean more panels.
Roof type & access — pitch, covering and scaffolding needs.
Battery & EV — optional add-ons for evening trade or car parks.
Funding choice — £0 on a PPA, or full cost to own outright.

Illustrative cost & saving by size

System	Buy-outright cost*	Est. annual saving*	PPA upfront
10 kWp (small pub)	£8,000–£12,000	£1,600–£2,600	£0
20 kWp (mid)	£15,000–£22,000	£3,200–£5,200	£0
30 kWp (large)	£22,000–£32,000	£4,800–£7,800	£0

Worked example — a mid-size pub

A 20 kWp array on a pub using most of its power in the day could offset a large share of daytime consumption. Against a grid rate of ~22–32p/kWh versus a funded rate of ~8–16p/kWh, that's a meaningful monthly saving — with £0 upfront on a PPA, or a 4–7 year payback if bought.*

Common questions

What will solar cost for my pub?

It depends on roof size, usage and whether you fund or buy. On a PPA it's £0 upfront. To buy, most pub systems land between roughly £8k and £32k. Your survey gives an exact figure.

How much could I save?

Many pubs cut daytime electricity costs substantially — the funded rate is often around half the grid rate. Real savings depend on how much power you use in daylight.

Does a battery change the numbers?

Yes — a battery lets evening-heavy venues use stored daytime solar at night, improving savings. We model with and without.
