Explore the best options for your project.
Before designing your system, we conduct a feasibility study to assess whether your site is suitable for renewable technologies. We evaluate the condition of your roofs or land to determine if there is enough space for an efficient solar photovoltaic (PV) array. We also analyse potential shading issues to ensure maximum energy generation.
Understanding your energy consumption patterns helps us design a system that aligns with your usage, and whether battery storage or integrated EV chargers could benefit you.
We check grid connection capacity to confirm whether your site can export excess energy, and apply for DNO approval on your behalf. In some cases, planning permission may be required, and we take care of this process for you.
Optimise your solar PV system.
We design a custom layout based on your site’s conditions. South-facing panels are ideal for maximum efficiency in the UK, but east-west configurations may be better suited for businesses that use power throughout the day. If shading is an issue, we incorporate optimisers or microinverters to minimise its impact.
Roof-mounted solar PV is a great solution for businesses with unused commercial or industrial roof space, while ground-mounted solar is better suited to sites with available land. If roof or ground space is limited, solar canopies and carports provide an alternative by generating power while offering covered parking.
Make the most of your energy.
A well-designed battery storage system means your business can store excess renewable energy and reduce grid reliance. We assess energy consumption patterns to determine the optimal battery size, ensuring that stored energy covers peak demand periods.
Battery storage is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to reduce energy costs during peak tariff hours or gain backup power in case of outages. It also works very well residentially to help council tenants or new build customers reduce their energy bills.
Integrate your systems.
Battery storage works best when combined with solar PV, allowing businesses to store excess solar energy for use at night or during high-demand periods. We design battery storage systems that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, ensuring compatibility with grid regulations and export schemes such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Utilise the best EV charging infrastructure for your project.
For businesses, public sector organisations, social housing and new developments, designing an efficient EV charging system starts with understanding site requirements.
We assess the number of EV charging points needed based on vehicle usage and future demand. For workplaces and fleet operators, we design scalable solutions that can grow with the increasing EV adoption. For social housing and public spaces, we ensure accessibility and compliance with government funding schemes.
Let us take care of your tenants’ heating.
Our design process considers the size, insulation levels, and heating demands of each property to specify the right air source heat pump (ASHP) system.
We conduct heat loss calculations to work out the capacity needed, and work closely with housing providers to upgrade radiators and insulation where necessary. ASHPs operate most efficiently at lower flow temperatures, so we design heating systems that distribute warmth effectively while minimising energy use.
For multi-dwelling properties, we design centralised ASHP systems that provide heating and hot water to multiple units via a shared network. These communal systems are ideal for low-rise apartment buildings and housing estates, ensuring consistent performance and reduced maintenance costs.
Our design process also factors in tenant usability, ensuring that heating controls are simple and intuitive. We provide full training and support to help residents adjust to their new heating system, ensuring maximum comfort and cost savings.
Keep compliant.
We ensure your project meets all UK regulations, including grid connection approvals, planning permission requirements, and building regulations. For larger systems exporting power to the grid, we obtain G99/G100 grid connection approvals.
Our systems comply with Part L and Part S of the Building Regulations, ensuring they contribute to overall energy efficiency targets. We manage all regulatory approvals on your behalf, streamlining the process for you.
How does it work?
Before installation, we present a detailed system design for your approval. Our team confirms all equipment choices and schedules the installation timeline. Once everything is approved, we proceed with installation, commissioning, and system activation to ensure your system is fully operational and compliant.
