Services
Solar PV
Our commercial solar PV systems harness sunlight to generate clean electricity, offering businesses substantial energy cost reductions of up to 60%. Custom-designed using advanced simulation software, these systems optimise energy production while meeting BREEAM and ESOS environmental standards. With tier-1 components and 25-year panel warranties, our installations provide long-term financial and environmental benefits.
Solar Car Ports
Solar car ports combine parking space optimisation with renewable energy generation, creating weather-protected EV charging stations. These structures generate electricity for onsite use or grid export while demonstrating corporate sustainability commitments. Ideal for commercial landlords and public facilities, they offer premium parking benefits with integrated renewable energy solutions.
Tesla Battery Storage
Tesla Powerwall and Powerpack systems store solar energy for 24/7 usage, reducing grid dependence and managing peak demand charges. With 13.5500kWh usable capacity options, businesses can stabilise energy costs, maintain operations during outages, and optimise self-consumption of solar power through advanced monitoring and load-shifting capabilities.
EV Charging Points
Our Tesla-certified EV charging solutions provide fast, reliable charging stations for businesses and fleets. Installed within 7 days, these 16.6kW chargers offer Wi-Fi connectivity and smart energy management. Integration with solar systems reduces operational costs while enhancing corporate sustainability credentials.
PPA Financing
Power Purchase Agreements allow businesses to install solar systems with zero upfront costs, paying only for generated electricity at rates 40% lower than grid tariffs. This 20-40 year solution includes full maintenance and performance warranties, ensuring predictable energy costs and immediate operational savings.
Questions
How long does a commercial solar installation take?
Typical business installations complete within a week without operational disruption, depending on roof type, system size, and weather conditions.
What energy output can I expect from solar panels?
Output depends on roof orientation, location, and size. We use satellite data and structural analysis to produce tailored yield forecasts with guaranteed performance metrics.
Do solar panels require planning permission?
Most installations qualify under permitted development, but we handle lawful development certificate applications to ensure full planning compliance.
How do I monitor system performance?
Real-time monitoring provides live data access via web or mobile apps, with automated alerts for performance deviations requiring maintenance.
What maintenance do solar systems require?
While tier-1 components have 25-year warranties, we offer tiered cleaning and maintenance packages to maintain optimal performance throughout the system lifecycle.
Can solar power protect against electricity price rises?
Solar PV with storage locks in energy costs at 5–6p per unit versus 14–15p from the grid, providing protection against utility price volatility and potential blackouts.
