Commercial solar in 2026
- Average UK commercial unit rates: 25–31p/kWh on standard SME contracts in May 2026
- Typical payback: 3.5–7 years for properly-sized systems with realistic self-consumption modelling
- Annual Investment Allowance — up to 25% effective capex reduction for limited companies paying 25% corporation tax
- G99 application timeline: 6–14 weeks for sub-250kVA in most DNO territory; G100 export-limited designs clear faster
- Multi-site portfolios: KMM handles MAT, retail group and care home group portfolios under a single contract with shared monitoring
