Why Shawton Energy Solar Partnerships Are Different?

Flexible. Transparent. Built on Trust.

If you’ve worked with traditional solar developers, you’ve probably experienced slow communication, inflexible terms, or a one-size-fits-all approach. At Shawton Energy, we’ve built something better.

We offer a true partnership model, one that’s agile, fully accountable, and backed by serious funding. Everything is handled in-house, so you know exactly where you stand, and your clients get a best-in-class experience from day one to year twenty.

Funded by Lazard Asset Management

  • No lengthy finance applications

  • No deal-breaking approval delays

  • No uncertainty about project viability

Every proposal we issue is funded and deliverable. You can introduce Shawton with total confidence.

How Shawton Compares

 

  Traditional Developer / Funder Shawton Energy
Funding Certainty External or third-party funded, approvals often slow or unclear. In-house funding backed by Lazard Asset Management, fast, secure, and reliable.
Project Scale Focus Only interested in large-scale or “easy” projects. Open to mid-size, multi-site or complex installs.
Delivery Model Outsourced contractors, little control. Fully in-house, turnkey delivery from feasibility to installation.
Response Time Weeks for proposals, multiple approvals. Fast turnaround with direct commercial and technical contact.
Flexibility Rigid contracts and standardised terms. Tailored deal structures for each client, with clear partner input.
Accountability Multiple handovers, limited visibility. One team, full lifecycle responsibility, no middlemen.
Partner Communication Poor updates, partner left out of the loop. You stay informed, recognised and respected throughout.
Compliance Support Limited or generic reporting. Aligned with SECR, Scope 2, TCFD, SBTi, Net Zero and ESG frameworks.
Reputation Risk Unreliable delivery can damage your credibility. Our team protects your relationship through trusted, proven delivery.

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.
