Solar Photovoltaics Consultancy

Do you install PV?

No. We sit in the independent advisory and project-management layer, which keeps our advice impartial and aligned to your interests.

Can you run a portfolio-wide PV programme?

Yes — we specialise in multi-site rollouts, including DNO planning, capex sequencing, contractor management and consolidated reporting across the estate.

Will you work with our existing M&E or EPC contractor?

Yes — we frequently sit alongside an existing supply chain as the client-side technical advisor representing your interests.

How do you assess feasibility on a site?

Roof condition, structural capacity, shading, orientation, demand profile, DNO headroom and lifecycle financial returns are all modelled before a site progresses to detailed design.

What's the difference between self-generation and a PPA?

Self-generation means you fund the system and keep all the savings. A PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) means a third party funds and owns the system; you buy the power at an agreed rate. We model both options for every business case.

How does landlord/tenant supply work under a lease?

Either via direct supply with a private wire arrangement, a sleeved PPA, or a green lease clause. We structure the right approach so both parties benefit and the lease remains workable.

Do you handle DNO grid connection applications?

Yes — we coordinate G99/G98 applications, manage DNO correspondence, model curtailment risk and explore export-limiting solutions where the grid is constrained.

What payback should we expect?

Most behind-the-meter commercial PV currently delivers 5–8 year simple payback, with IRRs of 12–20% depending on roof access, demand match and capex route.

Can you cover battery storage and EV charging?

Yes — battery storage, EV charging and load-shifting are modelled alongside PV where they improve the business case or support net-zero commitments.

How long does a full PV programme take?

Feasibility 4–8 weeks; business case and procurement 2–3 months; install per site typically 6–12 weeks. Portfolio rollouts run in parallel waves over 12–24 months.
