ENERGY MANAGEMENT FIRST
The most effective way to lower energy costs is to
reduce waste before installing generation.
That’s why energy management is the starting point for all our commercial projects.
We assess:
- How energy is currently used across the site
- Peak demand periods and load profiles
- Where energy is being wasted or poorly controlled
- Opportunities to optimise usage before adding new systems
This approach often reduces:
- The size of solar installations required
- Upfront capital costs
- Ongoing operational inefficiencies
It also creates a clearer, more realistic return on investment.
WHAT WE INSTALL
Commercial solar PV systems
Designed around how your building uses energy, not headline kW figures. Solar is specified after usage patterns are understood, ensuring systems are right sized, efficient, and commercially viable.
Battery storage
Used to support peak demand, out of hours operation, and load balancing. Battery storage is specified where it delivers genuine operational and cost benefits, not as a default add-on.
Trusted by
Proud to support organisations who value safety and compliance.
PROVEN IN LIVE COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTS
We’ve delivered energy management systems across large-scale commercial environments, including multi-site pub estates, helping operators:
- Monitor and control energy usage across sites
- Reduce unnecessary consumption
- Improve cost control and consistency
- Create a stronger foundation for solar and EV infrastructure
This experience informs how we approach all commercial buildings, not just hospitality.
HOW WE APPROACH COMMERCIAL ENERGY
We don’t lead with products. We lead with understanding.
Our process includes:
- Energy usage assessment and analysis
- Practical recommendations to reduce waste
- System design based on operational reality
- Safe, compliant installation
- Clear documentation and handover
Whether we’re working in a live commercial environment, an occupied building, or across multiple sites, disruption is minimised and communication is clear from start to finish.
What MCS Certification Means for Commercial Installations
For commercial and multi-site solar installations, MCS certification demonstrates that systems are delivered to recognised industry standards and installed with accountability.
It supports:
- Compliance and audit requirements
- Confidence for landlords, facilities managers, and stakeholders
- Eligibility for export tariffs, where applicable
- Clear documentation for asset registers and future maintenance
Our MCS certification reflects a structured, compliant approach suitable for operational environments where reliability and sign-off matter.
TRUSTED BY CLIENTS.
Proven by Experience
With over 50 5-star Google reviews, our reputation has been built on consistent standards, reliable delivery, and clear communication. Clients choose BlackRock Electrical because we do what we say we will, turning up when expected, working cleanly and professionally, and delivering electrical work that stands up to scrutiny long after the job is complete.
An excellent experience with BlackRock Electrical Ltd. After contact, a quote was supplied for the work and the electrician, Jamie, came on time with her colleague. The ceiling fan was promptly re-fitted securely and efficiently. The invoice amount was the same as the quotation and we were very pleased with the work done.

BlackRock were an incredible help when our electric boiler broke down! Not only are they really nice people to deal with, they also came round as soon as they could, were able to identify the problem, and carried out the fix within two days. They also have a brilliant online quote and invoicing system, which makes the whole process extremely smooth, fast and easy to manage.

I am so pleased I have found Lee and his team at BlackRock Electrical. Lee was super responsive and helpful and the job was completed really quickly and to a high standard. Without doubt, Lee will be my go to for any electrical jobs in the future. Thank you!

BlackRock Electrical installed my home solar PV system and battery storage. A lovely, professional and friendly team arrived and did a great job. They clearly took pride in their work; not least ensuring all the labels are beautifully aligned. Support following the installation has been really superb. I can't fault this company and would happily recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial buildings do you work with?
We work across offices, warehouses, hospitality venues, care and healthcare environments, education estates, and specialist industrial facilities. Each project is approached based on how the building operates, not just its category.
Do you work with care homes and healthcare facilities?
Yes. Care and healthcare environments require continuous operation, high reliability, and careful planning. Our systems are designed to support 24/7 usage while minimising risk, disruption, and operational uncertainty.
Do you deliver projects for schools and education settings?
We do. Education projects are typically designed around term-time usage, budget control, and long-term estate planning. Systems are planned to support compliance, cost reduction, and future upgrades.
Do you start with solar, or energy management first?
We usually start with energy management. Understanding how energy is used across a site allows solar, battery storage, and EV infrastructure to be designed properly and deliver measurable results.
Is commercial solar suitable for every business?
Not always. Solar works best when aligned with usage patterns, roof suitability, and operational demand. If it doesn’t make commercial sense, we’ll be upfront and explore more effective options.
How do you size commercial solar systems?
Systems are sized using real consumption data, load profiles, and operational behaviour, not headline kW figures. This ensures systems are practical, compliant, and cost-effective.
Can systems be phased over time?
Yes. Many commercial projects are delivered in phases, starting with monitoring and optimisation, then expanding into solar, battery storage, or EV charging as requirements evolve.
Do you install battery storage for commercial sites?
Where it provides clear benefit. Battery storage can improve self-consumption, manage peak demand, and add resilience, but only when it supports the operational and financial case.
How does EV charging fit into commercial energy systems?
EV charging is integrated safely into existing electrical infrastructure and designed alongside wider energy systems to avoid unnecessary strain on the supply or future limitations.
How do we know if a commercial energy project is worth it?
We assess viability upfront. If the usage profile, operational impact, or financial case doesn’t stack up, we’ll be clear before any commitments are made.
Can you support high-demand or specialist facilities?
Yes. We’ve delivered systems in specialist and high-performance environments where energy reliability, control, and operational continuity are critical.
Will installation disrupt day-to-day operations?
Installations are planned to minimise disruption. Works are phased and scheduled around operational requirements wherever possible, particularly in live environments.
