Background
Mike Davies is the Managing Director of Solar Britain, a UK commercial solar specialist focused exclusively on business rooftops between roughly 30 kWp and 1 MWp+. He works with owner-operators, facilities teams and finance directors across sectors including warehousing, logistics, cold storage, manufacturing, agriculture, retail and hospitality.
His background spans commercial growth, energy and technology — bringing together engineering rigour and a commercial mindset. That combination shapes how Solar Britain designs projects: honest yield modelling, structural and DNO checks up front, and proposals that stand up when a CFO stress-tests them.
Under Mike's leadership, Solar Britain has built its reputation on three things: clear writing (no jargon), high-quality technical design, and open, evidence-based reporting — from feasibility through to installation, monitoring and long-term O&M.
What Mike focuses on
Feasibility & design
Independent site assessments, yield modelling and system sizing tailored to on-site load profiles rather than headline kWp.
Rooftop solar & battery storage
Commercial PV from 30 kWp to 1 MWp+, optionally paired with battery storage for peak-shaving, resilience and export optimisation.
Grid, planning & compliance
G99 DNO connections, planning where required, MEES/EPC alignment and structural sign-off — handled end to end.
Finance & long-term value
CapEx, leasing and PPA routes, Full Expensing capital allowances, and clear O&M so the system performs across its 25+ year life.
Why Mike started Solar Britain
Too many UK businesses have been quoted commercial solar with optimistic savings, vague assumptions and no follow-through. Mike started Solar Britain to fix that: transparent modelling, MCS-aligned installation partners, real monitoring after handover, and a feasibility review that tells you honestly whether solar makes sense for your site — even when the answer is "not yet".
