Why CapEx is the Wrong Metric for Commercial Solar Decisions
Nearly all commercial solar budgets we see centre on one number: Capital Expenditure (CapEx), with asset managers asking only about system costs, payback period, and ROI. Matthew Shaw, our Joint Managing Director, believes this focus is fundamentally flawed and that clients who focus on...
Understanding DNO Grid Connection Applications for Commercial Solar
Grid connection applications are often the biggest source of delay in commercial solar projects. Nick Kennedy, Joint Managing Director at Lynx Sustainable Solutions, explains G99 vs G100 requirements, reveals realistic timelines, cost implications, and shows you how to spot problematic connections early.
A clean energy gift for the heart of Dunblane
In February 2026, our team at Lynx Sustainable Solutions installed a 50kW rooftop solar array at the Dunblane Centre — a community charity built from funds donated to Dunblane following the 1996 tragedy. Gifted by GreenPower, the 96-panel system is projected to save the Centre up to £9,000 a year, every pound of which goes straight back into supporting the community.
