Solar PV Systems
Our solar PV systems convert sunlight into electricity, reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. Designed for commercial buildings, new developments, and industrial sites, these systems use tier-1 components with 25-year warranties. We conduct detailed site assessments to optimise energy output, ensuring compliance with BREEAM and ESOS standards while providing fixed-cost energy for up to 40 years.
Tesla Battery Storage
Tesla Powerwall and Powerpack solutions store solar energy for 24/7 use, reducing grid reliance and peak demand charges. These systems enable load shifting, grid services participation, and backup power during outages. Certified installation ensures seamless integration with existing PV systems, monitored remotely for performance optimisation and maintenance alerts.
EV Charging Points
We install Tesla-approved EV chargers for businesses and residential sites, supporting fleet electrification and CSR goals. Systems integrate with solar carports to utilise renewable energy, with smart monitoring for usage tracking. Rapid installation within seven days and compatibility with multiple vehicle types ensure minimal disruption and future-proof infrastructure.
Solar Car Ports
These dual-purpose structures generate solar energy while providing weatherproof parking. Designed for commercial sites and public spaces, they combine energy generation with EV charging infrastructure. Custom engineering accommodates various site layouts, delivering both environmental benefits and revenue opportunities through grid exports.
Power Purchase Agreements
Our PPA model offers free solar installations with no upfront costs, allowing businesses to purchase generated electricity at below-grid rates. This 20-40 year agreement includes full maintenance, performance guarantees, and inflation-linked pricing, providing predictable energy costs and immediate savings without capital expenditure.
Questions
What are the benefits of solar PV for businesses?
Solar PV reduces energy costs by up to 60%, lowers carbon emissions, and protects against electricity price rises. Systems typically pay for themselves within 5-8 years through savings.
How long does a solar installation take?
Most commercial installations complete within a week, with minimal disruption to business operations. Larger projects may require additional time based on system size and roof complexity.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most commercial solar installations fall under permitted development, but we handle all necessary applications, including Lawful Development Certificates, to ensure compliance.
How much maintenance do solar systems require?
Our systems require minimal maintenance, with optional cleaning packages and remote monitoring. Tier-1 components carry 25-year warranties, ensuring long-term performance with regular checks.
Can solar panels work during a power outage?
With battery storage, solar systems can provide backup power during outages. Grid-connected systems without storage automatically shut down during blackouts for safety reasons.
How are solar systems monitored?
All installations include remote monitoring, providing real-time performance data and alerts for underperformance. Clients access live and historical data via web or mobile apps for transparency.
