Solar and Energy Consultancy
Clarity on your energy and decarbonisation strategy before you invest a penny.
Our independent consultancy gives asset managers and portfolio holders the clarity to build a credible energy and decarbonisation strategy and the confidence to invest in it.
The right advice before the right investment
The energy transition is reshaping commercial property. Decarbonisation targets, tightening regulations, and rising energy costs affect portfolio energy performance and, ultimately, asset value, tenant attraction, and long-term returns.
Solar is often a significant part of the answer, but it is a significant decision too. Feasibility, yield assessment, investment appraisal, funding model, roof condition, grid connection, and EPC impact are variables that matter and getting them wrong is expensive.
Our commercial solar consultancy cuts through that complexity. We assess your sites, model the carbon, analyse your options and give you everything you need to move forward with confidence or the honesty to tell you when solar isn't the right answer right now.
Every question answered before you commit to anything.
Every consultancy engagement starts with a detailed understanding of where you are now and where you need to get to. Some of what we offer includes:
Commercial energy audit and strategy
Understanding how and when energy is consumed is the starting point for any meaningful recommendation, so we analyse your current energy usage patterns, identify efficiency opportunities, and help you build a clear net-zero strategy.
EPC and MEES analysis
We assess your current energy performance ratings, model the impact of solar on those ratings and advise on whether the proposed solution is sufficient to meet current and incoming regulatory requirements.

Feasibility assessment
We assess whether solar is viable on a given site: structurally, electrically and commercially. That includes topographical analysis, roof condition, shading and the building's capacity to support a system.
Solar yield assessment
We provide accurate system generation forecasting for your energy strategy based on orientation, roof space, shading analysis, and your on-site consumption patterns.
Financial appraisal
We build the business case for investment, including payback periods, ROI projections, CapEx vs OpEx options and funding structures such as Power Purchase Agreements. We also identify any available grants or incentives.
Grid connection and planning
We remove one of the most complex parts of the process from your plate through managing grid applications, navigating regulations, and securing any necessary planning permissions.
Procurement
Where required, we can write tender specifications, evaluate bids and act as your technical adviser throughout the procurement process, ensuring the right contractor is appointed on the right terms.
The output of our consultancy is shaped around what you need, whether that is a technical report, an investment case for your board, a funding recommendation or a full project specification ready to move into delivery.
The regulatory pressure is real, and the deadlines are getting closer
The minimum energy efficiency standards for commercial property are tightening. Assets that cannot meet EPC B by 2030 face a real risk of becoming unlettable, of losing value, or of requiring significant unplanned capital expenditure to bring them up to standard.
olar is one of the most effective ways to improve an asset's energy performance rating. But only if it is specified correctly, installed properly and maintained over the long term. A consultancy that starts with an honest assessment of what is possible is the difference between a project that works and one that falls short of the investment case.
The sooner you understand what your portfolio needs, the more options you have.
