Services
Solar PV Systems
Solar PV Partners designs and implements photovoltaic systems tailored to commercial and residential needs. Our expertise spans from small rooftop installations to multi-megawatt projects like the 633kWp Sparsholt College installation. We work with leading technology partners to maximise energy generation efficiency while ensuring compliance with international standards. Our systems integrate seamlessly with battery storage for optimal energy utilisation.
Energy Storage Solutions
We specialise in advanced energy storage technologies including lithium iron phosphate and saltwater batteries. Our solutions enable time-shifting of solar generation, grid balancing, and uninterrupted power supply. Projects range from residential storage in Winchester to utility-scale deployments in Africa. Our technical team has pioneered the adoption of innovative storage technologies like the Cradle to Cradle Certified Aquion batteries in the UK market.
Grid Balancing Services
Our grid balancing solutions combine solar generation with intelligent storage to manage peak demand and participate in frequency response schemes. We help clients generate additional revenue through dynamic containment and STOR schemes while maintaining energy security. Our systems enable efficient energy distribution and grid stability through cloud-based monitoring and control platforms.
International Projects
With cross-border experience spanning Europe, Africa, and the Americas, we develop and finance renewable energy projects in diverse environments. Our international capabilities include solar-powered petrol stations in Nigeria and off-grid solutions for remote communities. We adapt technology solutions to local conditions, demonstrated by our work in extreme climates using heat-resistant LiFePO4 batteries.
Hybrid Energy Systems
We create hybrid systems integrating solar PV, battery storage, and backup generators for maximum reliability. Our hybrid approach was successfully implemented in Mexico for hurricane resilience and in UK motorway signage projects. These systems optimise energy availability while reducing diesel dependency through intelligent energy management and storage optimisation.
