Solar power

Solar power systems provide a reliable and low-cost method of producing on site renewable energy that can help your organisation reduce carbon and cost while making a visible sustainability statement.

Solar Power Purchase Offering

Our innovative model enables our clients to maximise their onsite power increasing financial return whilst minimising export requirements. We take full responsibility for the design and operation of the system, allowing more time to spent on core business operations.

How it works

We provide a one stop solution for your needs ensuring that renewable generation can be incorporated into your site whatever the constraints.

With existing supply agreements with many suppliers, we can tailor the specification of the system architecture and numerous module support solutions to your requirements.

This enables our designs to incorporate solutions for all the major roof types including East/West designs that provide additional output where space is at a premium.

We can also incorporate traditional inverter technology or DC optimizers to bring additional shading reduction and fire protection benefits.

Process

You pay the agreed kWh price for all the energy produced for the lifetime of the contract and host the system on your premises.

This process includes us reviewing your site and energy demand to ensure that a solar power purchase agreement (PPA) is right for your business. The generation and demand profile of the sites needs to be suitable for a solar generating station to maximise on site use and minimise export to the grid.

If your site has sufficient daytime demand and suitable space, we can complete a feasibility design that will detail the size and location of the solar system to meet your requirements.

Implementation

We design, install and commission the solar installation taking on the operations and maintenance for the duration of the agreement which is typically 20 years. During this time, you would pay an agreed PPA price for the electricity generated with the peace of mind of knowing the operation and maintenance is undertaken by our qualified team.
