PV Consultancy
Our solar energy consultancy services enable you to maximise the benefits of your installation and ensure a hassle-free process. Our multi-disciplinary team will carry out all the preparatory work, from the structural assessment to any planning application that’s required. We will also work with the distribution network operators (DNOs) to make sure you’re connected to the National Grid as quickly as possible.
Project scoping
Our consultancy begins with a thorough project scoping phase, identifying your specific needs and assessing site suitability. We analyse your energy consumption patterns that are specific to your site to ensure your solar photovoltaic system is tailored exactly to your requirements. We will not propose projects which are larger than your needs.
Structural assessment
Our structural assessment service ensures your roof is ready to support solar panels safely and effectively. We analyse load-bearing capacity, material condition and structural integrity to guarantee a secure installation. By addressing any potential issues upfront, we ensure your solar system’s longevity and performance, providing peace of mind and protecting your investment in clean energy.
Output modelling
We use advanced modelling tools to predict the potential energy output of your solar PV installation. This includes assessing variables like shading, panel orientation and local weather patterns to provide accurate performance forecasts and financial returns.
Installation design
Our team will create detailed installation designs, incorporating the latest technology from our partner SolarEdge and industry best practices. We focus on optimising the layout for maximum efficiency and seamless integration with existing structures, ensuring a reliable and robust solar solution.
Planning and other admin
Navigating the regulatory landscape is crucial for successful solar PV projects. We handle all planning and administrative tasks – confirming your scheme comes under permitted use rules and making a planning application if not – to streamline the installation process and avoid any legal hurdles.
Export contracts
As part of our comprehensive turnkey solution, we provide access to a Westwood Energy led selling group. This enables clients to sell surplus solar energy as part of our renewable generators’ portfolio. Customers benefit from our extensive metering and power purchase agreement (PPA) expertise, ensuring higher prices for exported energy.
Working with DNOs
We liaise directly with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) on clients’ behalf to ensure a seamless connection process, addressing any technical and regulatory requirements without hassle. By managing these critical interactions, we save our clients time and effort, ensuring their solar installation is both compliant and efficient, streamlining the entire project from start to finish.
Negotiating with contractors
We leverage our industry expertise to negotiate with contractors on your behalf, securing the best terms and ensuring high-quality workmanship. Our goal is to deliver solutions without compromising on the quality or performance of your solar PV system.
Managing your Local Electricity Network connection
Our experienced engineers manage the process of connecting your solar PV system to the National Grid. We handle all technical and administrative aspects, ensuring a smooth and efficient integration, whether you want to put electricity into the Grid or take it out.
