The case for solar · Mosques & Islamic centres

Over 25 years, a Brent mosque keeps £136k in the community, not the grid. Solar panels for mosques and Islamic centres.

A mosque is used every day, not once a week: five daily prayers, Friday jumu'ah, madrasah classes and community events. That means lighting, heating, sound, hot water and kitchens running through the day, exactly when a roof of solar panels generates. A busy Cricklewood mosque now makes around 70% of its own power and is on track to keep £136,000 in the community.

01
The opportunity

A mosque is used every day, and so is its meter

Unlike a building that fills once a week, a mosque runs on a daily rhythm: five prayers a day, Friday jumu'ah, madrasah and Quran classes, community iftars and events, and the ablution facilities that go with them. Lighting, heating, sound, hot water and kitchens draw power through the day, much of it in daylight. That steady, daytime load is exactly what rooftop solar is built to feed, so most of what you generate is used in the building rather than sold cheaply to the grid.

The money it frees is the community's. A busy Cricklewood mosque now makes around 70% of its own power and is on track to keep £136,000 over the life of the system, funds that used to go to the energy company and now go back to the people the mosque serves. For a community-funded building, that is real.

02
The business case

Sound stewardship, for the community and the accounts

Solar sits naturally with the responsibility to use resources wisely and care for creation. Visible rooftop solar makes that real for the congregation, and it is sound financial stewardship too, a payback of roughly six to seven years, then decades of near-free power under a 25-year warranty. Because a mosque's income is often donation and zakat supported, a fixed, falling energy cost brings welcome certainty to the budget.

We handle the practical side and design around how the building is used, planning the work around prayer times and Friday congregations. Pairing panels with battery storage keeps lighting, heating and the PA carrying a prayer through a grid event.

Why mosques go solar

Keep more for the community
Every pound off the bill is a pound back into the community the mosque serves.
Power a building used every day
Five daily prayers, classes and community events. Solar feeds that daytime load.
Certainty for a donation-funded budget
A fixed, falling energy cost brings welcome certainty to a community-funded building.
Resilience for prayer
Pair panels with storage so lighting, heating and the PA carry prayer through a grid event.
Low maintenance, decades of life
No moving parts, out of the way on the roof, and covered by a 25-year panel warranty.
Long-term, predictable savings
Payback in six to seven years, then decades of near-free power.

The bottom line

A busy Cricklewood mosque now makes most of its own power and is on track to keep £136,000 in the community over the life of its system, money that used to go to the energy company and now serves the people it is built for. We put those numbers in front of them before they signed, not after.

How it works

Installed around your prayers, not through them

A solar installation on a working mosque is a different job from a home system. One team, in-house, from first site visit to switch-on, and we plan the work around your shifts so prayers carry on.

STEP 01
Site visit
We assess your roof, structure, load profile and half-hourly usage on site.
STEP 02
Design and projection
You get a system sized to your roof and a real projection of cost, savings and payback.
STEP 03
Grid and paperwork
We handle the DNO application and every certificate, so you don't have to chase it.
STEP 04
Install, zero downtime
our MCS-registered installers fit it around your shifts. Production keeps running.
STEP 05
Switch-on and aftercare
Commissioning, monitoring and a team you can call. We don't disappear after handover.

Good to know

The questions mosque committees and trustees actually ask before putting solar on the roof.

How does a mosque pay for solar?

Every mosque is different, so we size and price it to your roof and how you use power, then show you what it gives back. A Brent mosque is on track to keep £136,000 over its life. As a community-funded building you may also have access to grants and funding routes, and because it is a long-term, income-generating asset it fits donation and zakat-conscious budgeting.

Will the work disrupt prayers?

It doesn't have to. Almost all of the work happens on the roof, away from the prayer hall. We plan around the five daily prayers and Friday jumu'ah, isolate only what we must and only when agreed, and keep the building running. Zero disruption to prayer is the target we plan to hit.

Can solar cover ablution hot water and the daily load?

It covers a large share. Because a mosque draws power through the day, for lighting, heating, sound and hot water, most of the solar is used on site. A Cricklewood mosque now makes around 70% of its own power, and battery storage lets you push that further into the evening prayers.

What payback and savings can we expect?

A well-sized system typically pays back in six to seven years, then generates for decades under a 25-year panel warranty. We model your exact figures so you can take a real number to your committee, before you commit to anything.

Will it keep lighting and the PA on in a power cut?

Paired with battery storage, yes, for essential load. Lighting, heating and the PA can carry a prayer through a grid event on stored solar. We design the system around what your mosque cannot afford to lose.

Do you handle the DNO and grid application?

Yes. A larger system needs approval from your Distribution Network Operator, and we manage that application and all certification for you, so you get a signed-off, compliant system without the paperwork.
