Harnessing Solar Energy
For Your UK Property Portfolio

Maximising the potential of your property portfolio through solar energy is a strategic move in the competitive landscape of industrial and commercial property ownership and management.

Getting ahead of legislative changes

There are 3 options for you to consider;

Energy Cost & Carbon Savings

If you are currently paying for the energy that comes to your property’s site and then you pass that cost on to your tenant then why not allow us to invest in solar onto your property and allow you to buy the energy from that solar for a much reduced cost? You will be able to pass some or all of that financial saving and 100% carbon saving onto your tenants to ensure they are receiving cheaper electricity and a reduction in carbon to help them achieve their environmental objectives.

Increased Lease value

If your tenant is paying their electricity bills direct to their energy supplier then, through the energy cost savings, you can increase lease costs to your tenants by less than their energy cost saving. The customer will see a decrease in their overall costs and you will secure better terms on your lease income.

Export Potential

Typically we will size the solar project to your tenant’s requirements to give best value and payback on the projects. However if we can secure export onto the grid by the local network operator then we can potentially oversize the project, subject to tenant demand and roof size, and monetise any excess energy.

There are also a number of valued added benefits to add solar to your properties.

Increased Property Value

Solar Panels can enhance the overall value of a commercial property. Many businesses and tenants are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, and having a sustainable energy source like solar power can make a property more attractive and valuable.

Long-Term Stability

Solar panels have a long lifespan and require relatively low maintenance. By investing in solar, commercial landlords can secure a stable and predictable energy/revenue source for the property over the long term.

Environmental Responsibility

Adopting solar power aligns with sustainability goals and demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility. This can be a positive marketing point for the property, appealing to tenants who prioritise green practices.

Legislative Compliance

Solar with positively impact your property’s current EPC rating. Also there may be future regulations or requirements mandating the use of renewable energy sources in commercial properties. Installing solar panels can help landlords stay ahead of potential regulatory changes and ensure compliance with evolving environmental standards.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Many businesses are incorporating CSR into their operations. By installing solar panels, a commercial landlord can contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and showcase their commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
