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. Amid the complexities of tenant management, relationship maintenance, property occupancy, lease renewals, and the ever-evolving terrain of environmental regulatory compliance, this industry faces constant challenges.

We at Shawton Energy understand the current demands on property portfolios to enhance competitiveness, provide added value to tenants, explore new revenue avenues, and meet the growing expectations for improved net-zero carbon credentials.

In response to these industry needs, Shawton Energy presents Shawton Solar Property Solutions (SSPS), A tailored product designed to support property portfolio owners seeking to harness the solar potential within their estates.

So, what does our offering entail?

Income generation to you as the owner of the property

Increased property value

Improved EPC ratings for your property

Delivering on yours and your tenant’s CSR, ESG and Environmental objectives

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.

R

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.
