How The Process Works

You Identify an Opportunity

You know your client and their challenges. If you think solar could support their Net Zero, cost-saving or ESG goals, just make an introduction, we’ll take it from there.

We Run Feasibility Checks

We assess the site, energy usage, and funding potential at no cost to you or your client. If the project looks viable, we’ll move quickly to a proposal.

You Stay in the Loop

We’ll work with you (or directly with your client, if preferred) to share a detailed proposal including system design, commercial terms, energy savings, and carbon reduction forecasts.

We Handle Delivery — Start to Finish

If the proposal is accepted, Shawton Energy funds, installs and maintains the system. Your client gets clean energy at a reduced rate, and you get credit for making it happen.

Ongoing Support

You can stay as involved as you like, we’re happy to co-present, white-label materials, or keep things entirely behind the scenes.

What You Bring To The Partnership 

We keep things straightforward. If you’re aligned with our values and committed to helping businesses make meaningful progress, we’re a good fit. We look for partners who have:

R

A trusted relationship with the client

R

Insight into their energy or sustainability goals

R

A warm introduction or aligned conversation

R

Optional involvement in project development (as much or as little as you want)

Is This The Right Fit for You?

We respect the relationship you’ve built. You stay in control of how involved you are, and we keep you in the loop throughout. Our job is to deliver a great outcome for your client while protecting and enhancing your reputation.

We work best with professionals who:

  • Have strong relationships with decision-makers

  • They are focused on delivering real outcomes (not just compliance)

  • Want a long-term, transparent delivery partner

  • See the value in funded sustainability solutions

 

Let’s Work Together

If you’re advising clients on energy, estates or sustainability strategy, and want to help them reduce carbon and costs through solar, without capital outlay, we’d love to hear from you.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Who can become an partner?

Anyone working with commercial or industrial businesses — especially in energy, sustainability, property, or advisory roles. Our best introducers understand their clients’ energy challenges and want to add more value without increasing workload.

Is there a minimum size or usage requirement?

Yes — we typically work with businesses that spend £100,000+ per year on electricity at a single site. However, we can assess portfolios and multi-site opportunities individually.

How quickly can you turn around a proposal?
Usually within 7–10 working days from receiving basic energy data (like a recent bill and half-hourly usage). The more info you provide, the faster we can move.
Will I get paid for a successful introduction?
Yes — we offer flexible commercial terms based on your involvement. Some partners choose a referral fee; others prefer to stay commercial-neutral to maintain independence. We’re happy to tailor the model.
Can I stay involved throughout the project?
Absolutely. You can co-present the proposal, be copied into updates, or hand it over entirely. We’re here to support your preferred approach.
Will you contact my client directly?
Only with your permission. We’re happy to stay in the background or take the lead once you’ve made the introduction — whichever works for you and your relationship.
Can I use co-branded or white-label materials?
Yes — we can provide proposal decks, PDFs, and commercial overviews in your branding or neutral format if needed.
What sectors do you work in?
We’ve delivered solar projects for clients in:

  • Food manufacturing
  • Logistics and warehousing
  • Automotive
  • Property and estates
  • Facilities management
  • Commercial landlords
  • Retail and leisure

If your clients operate in energy-intensive environments, we’d love to hear from you.
