Solar PV

Generate Zero-Carbon Electricity Below Grid Cost

Rooftop and ground-mount solar PV arrays engineered for maximum yield — from 50 kWp commercial installations to multi-megawatt industrial arrays.

Where every kilowatt-hour goes

Solar generation first offsets the power you're already buying, then exports the surplus — the higher your daytime self-consumption, the faster the payback.

The Numbers That Matter

Typical capex
£600–£900

per kWp installed

Simple payback
6–10 years

location & tariff dependent

Levelised cost
£35–£55/MWh

vs ~£180/MWh grid import

Asset life
25+ years

with manufacturer warranty

Our Delivery Process

Every solar PV project is tailored to your roof or land constraints, grid connection headroom, and consumption profile.

1

Site survey & shading analysis

We assess roof structure, orientation, tilt, shading obstructions, and grid connection capacity to build an accurate energy yield model.

2

System design

Bifacial panels, optimisers or microinverters, and string or central inverters are selected to maximise yield across varying orientations.

3

Planning & grid connection

We manage DNO G99 applications and, where needed, planning consent — handling the process completely.

4

Installation & monitoring

Commissioning includes Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) registration and a cloud monitoring portal for real-time generation and self-consumption data.

Proven on Real Sites

Logistics Warehouse, South East England

1.2 MWp array generating 1,050 MWh/year

A 1.2 MWp ground-mount system on a 12-acre brownfield site now supplies 65% of the site's annual electricity demand, with surplus exported under SEG.
