Renewable Energy Solutions with Solar PV and Storage
Established in 2012, Solar PV Partners (SPVP) specialises in delivering renewable energy solutions that enhance both financial and environmental performance across diverse sectors including education, energy, farming, retail, IT, manufacturing, government, and distribution. Our mission is to improve energy independence through the deployment of sustainable, renewable resources. We collaborate with partners in over 20 countries, including the UK, Ireland, the Caribbean, Czech Republic, Estonia, Kenya, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Portugal, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, UAE, and the USA, to install safe, non-toxic battery technology integrated with Solar PV systems for both on-grid and off-grid applications.Since our first commercial Solar PV installation at Basingstoke College of Technology in 2013, we have pioneered the use of innovative energy storage solutions, including the first UK deployment of Cradle to Cradle Certified batteries and advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate systems. Our expertise extends to managing large-scale projects such as the 633kWp installation at Sparsholt College, the largest Solar PV system at any UK educational establishment. We continue to lead in grid balancing solutions, demand-side response, and energy market brokering, while maintaining a commitment to safety, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology.

Services
Solar PV Systems
We design and install custom Solar PV systems for commercial, residential, and industrial clients. Our solutions reduce energy costs, enhance grid independence, and support sustainability goals. Systems range from small rooftop installations to large-scale projects like the 633kWp Sparsholt College system.
Energy Storage Solutions
Our energy storage systems integrate with Solar PV for time-shifting power usage. We offer non-toxic, long-life battery options including Lithium Iron Phosphate and Cradle to Cradle Certified technologies. Solutions support peak shaving, backup power, and grid balancing for diverse applications.
International Projects
We facilitate Solar PV and storage projects across 20+ countries. Services include financing, system design, and implementation for on-grid and off-grid locations. Recent projects include solar-powered petrol stations in Nigeria and residential systems in Mexico.
Grid Balancing
Our grid balancing solutions optimise energy distribution through Demand Side Response and STOR schemes. These systems reduce peak demand charges, enhance grid stability, and create revenue opportunities via frequency balancing and curtailment services.
Residential Installations
We provide compact, safe battery systems for homes, such as the SimpliPhi Power installation in Winchester. Solutions enable self-consumption of solar energy, reduce grid reliance, and ensure backup power during outages, with systems designed for 10-15+ year lifespans.
