FAQs: Working With Shawton Energy as a Partner or Introducer
We know that potential partners—whether you’re an energy consultant, sustainability advisor, facilities manager, or broker—often have specific questions about how our introducer model works and what to expect. Below, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions we receive.
Who can become an introducer?
We work with a wide range of professionals and organisations, including:
- Sustainability and carbon consultants
- Energy brokers and advisors
- Facilities and estates managers
- ESG and compliance professionals
- Commercial property and FM consultants
If you advise or work with businesses that are energy-intensive or have sustainability targets, you’re likely a good fit.
What is the minimum client size or qualification?
We typically look for businesses that:
- Spend £30,000+ per year on electricity
- Have medium-to-large sites (rooftop or ground-mounted potential)
- Are seeking long-term sustainability improvements and energy cost savings
We can also assess portfolios and multi-site operations individually.
How does the introducer model work?
- You introduce Shawton Energy to your client or provide basic client details
- We handle feasibility checks and funding assessments
- If viable, we provide a detailed proposal (you can stay involved if you wish)
- Once approved, Shawton funds, installs, and maintains the solar system—zero capex for the client
More details can be found on our [How Our Introducer Model Works] page.
Do I stay involved throughout the process?
Will my client know I am receiving a referral fee?
Do you offer co-branded materials?
- Co-branded pitch decks
- Proposal documents
- Explainer PDFs
We also offer white-label options if required.
What if my client is concerned about roof ownership or lease terms?
We conduct a full technical and legal due diligence check during the feasibility stage, including roof and lease reviews. Our funding model accommodates many typical ownership structures, and we work with the client’s legal team to ensure smooth agreements.
What reporting and data do you provide?
We provide:
- Carbon savings forecasts (pre-installation)
- Performance reports (annually or as required)
- Support with SECR, TCFD, and other reporting frameworks
- Evidence and data for ESG submissions and internal sustainability reports
How long does it take to get a proposal?
Is there a cost to my client?
No upfront cost. Our fully-funded Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model means:
- Shawton Energy pays for the design, installation, and maintenance
- The client buys the generated electricity at a fixed, competitive rate over the contract term (typically 20–25 years)
