Professional Design & Installation every step of the way
What do we need to do in order to generate a quotation specifically for your business needs?
- Assess your roof in terms of size, orientation, shading and tilt angle
- Look at your current electricity consumption (at least by month over the past 12 months, even down to each 30 minute period for larger users) and unit prices paid
- Decide if Battery Storage is appropriate for you. In short if you work 24 hours a day or have constant usage, for example refrigeration, then it definitely would be - If you don't then it would depend on opening hours throughout the year - we''ll discuss it with you
- Discuss with you any expansion plans or changes to your energy system that would affect electricity use, for example changing over to electric vehicles
- If you are leasing, then we would discuss the ownership of your building to ensure that the system would be financially viable within your current lease period
Having discussed your requirements we will create a basic system design, provide a quotation, and give you time to decide which approach you would like to take.
We will always be on-hand if you have any questions or wish to discuss it further.
In certain geographic areas and business sectors there may be grants available. We'll help you to see if there are any appropriate for your needs and how to apply. Grants can sometimes cover up to 50% of the cost but with an upper ceiling, and the available funds are often limited so it's best to get in quickly.

How do I finance my System?
We recommend 3 ways you can finance your system:
- Pay for it from your own resources – this will give the best return on investment
- Bank Financing - If the payback period is quite short then bank financing would mean the loan may be at least partially repaid through energy savings during the loan period
- Take out a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This is where we organise external funding for your investment. The Funder will contract with you directly and will explain all the financial implications in great detail, but here is a quick summary for you:
- You pay the Funder a cheaper rate for the electricity produced by your system than you are paying for your Grid supply
- This rate increases with inflation each year
- The Agreement is for a set number of years
- At the end of the Agreement the system becomes yours
Both Bank Financing and PPAs mean you start saving money and carbon immediately without using your own capital
