There was such little disruption that we were quite frankly surprised when the team turned around and said that they were all done.
We couldn’t be happier with the process and are now saving £300,000 per year on our electricity costs.
We’d highly recommend considering commercial solar.

Open spaces generate our clients even larger results
Solar farms and solar parks enable large-scale energy generation on land that might otherwise go unused.
Often, these areas can still be utilised for agricultural purposes. For example, livestock can graze safely around solar panels and even benefit from the shade they provide.

Maximising return on investment while minimising environmental impact
Solar parks and farms have impressive energy production capacity without negatively impacting their surroundings.
Our solar farms often incorporate native plantings and wildlife-friendly habitats, preserving biodiversity and enhancing local ecosystems.
Through responsible siting and sustainable practices, we ensure that our solar farms coexist harmoniously with the natural environment, benefiting both communities and wildlife.

Land preservation and management
We prioritise helping our prospects select solar farm sites that minimise ecological disruption and avoid areas of high biodiversity or sensitive habitats.
Habitat restoration and enhancement
When necessary, we implement habitat restoration measures, such as replanting native vegetation and creating wildlife corridors, to mitigate environmental impacts.
Water conservation and management
Our installations incorporate stormwater management systems to minimise runoff and erosion, while exploring water conservation techniques like rainwater harvesting.
Community engagement and education
We can actively engage local communities through outreach and education, fostering understanding and support for our ecological considerations in solar farm development.
ThermoFisher cut energy costs by 15% without any upfront or ongoing costs
Custodian Capital are one of our repeat clients and partners. By installing an 830 kW solar system on one of their properties, they were able to pass on a 15% reduction in energy costs to ThermoFisher.
This is under a common arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) whereby an asset manager will fund and maintain an installation under an agreement to sell the energy at a reduced rate to the property user.
£4.7m lifetime ROI
Over the system's 25 year lifetime, it will yield over £4.7m in savings for Custodian Capital.
Net zero
The installation is a significant step for Custodian Capital & ThermoFisher on their way to meet Net Zero targets.
