Solar and LED Lighting for Business
- Reduce Energy Costs
- Cut Carbon
- Protect Capital
Butterfly Eco helps businesses reduce operating costs through commercial solar PV and energy-efficient LED lighting.
Businesses with daytime energy consumption are particularly well suited to solar, while lighting upgrades deliver savings across offices, warehouses, factories, retail premises and other commercial buildings.
We manage the complete process, from the initial energy assessment and design through to funding, installation, monitoring and ongoing support.
Businesses choose solar PV, LED lighting or a combined solution to maximise their energy savings and reduce CO₂ emissions.
Solar PV generates clean electricity directly from your roof, reducing the amount of energy purchased from the grid and protecting your business against future energy-price increases.
LED lighting uses significantly less electricity than traditional lighting while improving light quality and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Combining both technologies provides a coordinated energy strategy that delivers immediate savings and long-term protection.
Key benefits include:
Every business is different. Energy consumption, existing lighting, building ownership, roof suitability, available capital and financial objectives all vary from site to site.
Butterfly Eco works with a panel of established funding partners to identify the most appropriate solar and LED lighting solution for each business.

Whether the project is fully funded, financed or purchased through capital expenditure, our solutions are structured to ensure the available Annual Investment Allowance benefit is captured.
Depending on the funding route, the allowance is claimed either by the business or by the funding partner and reflected in the commercial offer.
AIA allows 100% of qualifying expenditure to be deducted from taxable profits. For a company paying corporation tax at the 25% main rate, this creates a potential tax benefit worth up to 25% of the qualifying project cost.
Butterfly Eco fully supports the process, providing the equipment schedules, cost breakdowns and documentation needed to structure and evidence the available benefit.
Businesses have access to a complete commercial solar PV system designed, funded and installed with no upfront cost.
There is:
The solar system is fully funded, installed, monitored and maintained throughout the agreement at no cost to the business.
The business simply purchases the clean electricity generated by the system at an agreed rate below the cost of grid electricity, providing guaranteed energy-cost savings from day one.
Key benefits include:
Businesses upgrade their existing lighting to modern, energy-efficient LED technology without upfront capital expenditure.
Butterfly Eco completes a detailed lighting survey and designs a tailored replacement scheme focused on reducing electricity consumption, improving light quality and lowering maintenance requirements.
The lighting upgrade is fully funded and installed, allowing the business to benefit from immediate energy and carbon savings without using its capital budget.
Installation is carefully planned around working hours, production schedules, customers and employees to minimise disruption to business operations.
Key benefits include:
Businesses choose fully funded solar, fully funded LED lighting or combine both technologies to maximise their available savings.
Businesses wishing to own their solar PV or LED lighting equipment spread the cost through a straightforward asset-finance agreement.
The agreement is structured so that the energy savings are greater than the finance payments, making the project cash-positive from day one.
The business benefits immediately from lower energy costs and reduced CO₂ emissions while preserving its available capital for growth, staffing, equipment, stock and other operational priorities.
At the end of the agreement, ownership of the equipment transfers to the business in accordance with the agreed terms.
Where a business has available capital reserves, it may choose to purchase its solar PV or LED lighting outright.
Butterfly Eco provides the feasibility study, technical design and supporting business case required to assess capital purchase alongside the fully funded and asset-finance options.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Our team reviews your energy consumption, existing lighting, building suitability, ownership structure and financial objectives before recommending the most appropriate route.
For businesses with multiple sites, we assess the wider portfolio to identify the strongest opportunities, prioritise investment and create a phased delivery programme.
The result is a tailored solar and lighting solution designed to deliver maximum savings with minimum operational disruption.
Every installation is planned around the way your business operates.
Our team coordinates with site management to minimise disruption to employees, customers, manufacturing, deliveries and other daily activities.
We provide:
Generating electricity on site reduces reliance on grid energy and gives your business greater control over future operating costs.
Solar PV and LED lighting reduce CO₂ emissions, support sustainability targets and provide measurable evidence of your environmental progress.
Our monitoring and reporting services demonstrate the financial and environmental performance of your investment throughout its lifetime.
