Services
Solar PV
Our solar PV systems generate clean electricity for commercial properties, reducing energy bills by up to 90% through on-site generation. We design systems optimised for each building's specifications, using tier-1 components with 25-year warranties. Our installations meet BREEAM and ESOS requirements while providing remote performance monitoring and grid connection management.
Solar Car Ports
These dual-purpose structures provide weather-protected parking while generating renewable energy. Ideal for commercial sites and public facilities, our car ports integrate with EV charging infrastructure and battery storage. They offer premium parking spaces that demonstrate environmental commitment while generating income through surplus energy sales.
Tesla Battery Storage
Tesla Powerwall and Powerpack systems store solar energy for nighttime use or grid independence. Our installations enable load shifting during peak tariff periods and provide backup power during outages. As Tesla-certified installers, we ensure seamless integration with existing solar systems and building infrastructure.
EV Charging Points
We supply and install Tesla-approved EV charging stations for commercial premises, supporting workplace charging schemes and fleet electrification. Our solutions integrate with solar PV systems to create zero-carbon mobility options, featuring smart monitoring and rapid 7kW-22kW charging capabilities.
CPD Training
Our free certified training programs educate architects and construction professionals on solar PV design, battery storage, and EV infrastructure. Delivered onsite during lunch breaks, these sessions share technical expertise on system integration, regulatory compliance, and performance optimisation for new and existing buildings.
Questions
How long does a solar panel system last?
Our tier-1 panels come with 25-year warranties and retain 85% efficiency after this period. Inverters typically require replacement after 10-15 years.
Do I need planning permission?
We handle all necessary applications, including lawful development certificates, ensuring compliance with local planning regulations for most commercial installations.
How much maintenance do solar systems require?
We offer three maintenance tiers including remote monitoring, performance alerts, and scheduled cleaning to maintain optimal system efficiency.
Can solar panels damage my roof?
Our engineers conduct structural assessments and use non-penetrative mounting systems where possible, ensuring roof integrity remains uncompromised.
How are installations scheduled?
Most commercial projects complete within a week. Tesla Wall Connector installations can be arranged within 7 days of initial contact.
What financing options exist?
We offer Power Purchase Agreements with no upfront costs, allowing businesses to purchase generated electricity at fixed rates below grid tariffs.
