Who we are, and who puts the panels on

What we do and what we do not

We arrange

The survey, the array layout, the yield model against your own consumption, the network operator application, and a comparison of buying outright, funding the asset or taking a power purchase agreement. Where the building is let, we set out what the landlord and the tenant each need to agree before anything goes on the roof. That work costs you nothing and carries no obligation.

Our partner installs

Design sign-off, scaffold, mounting, electrical work, commissioning and the MCS certificate sit with the installer, who is certified under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme and carries the relevant insurances. They quote you directly and they hold the contract with you.

How we are paid

The installer pays us a commission on work they invoice. You pay the same price either way, and we have no product to push, which is why we are willing to tell you when a roof is not worth doing yet.

Why we publish the data rather than stock photography

Every location page on this site carries the modelled yield for that latitude from the European Commission's PVGIS service, the distribution network operator that handles connections in that county, the office and retail stock of the local authority from the Valuation Office Agency's rating list, and the commercial rooftop schemes already on record nearby in the government's Renewable Energy Planning Database, named, and always as other organisations' projects. We currently publish 396 town pages across 48 counties.

The mean modelled yield across those towns is 886 kWh per kWp a year. We show that figure because it is the honest frame for any savings claim: a roof in Cornwall and a roof in Cumbria are not the same asset, and a quote that ignores the difference is guessing. Neither are an office that closes at six and a supermarket that runs refrigeration all night.

Where a town has nothing locally specific to say, it does not get an indexed page. That is a deliberate choice, and it is why the location list is shorter than the list of towns in the UK.

Who writes this

Matt Lenzie runs Lenzie Consulting Ltd (company 08174104), working across commercial property, asset finance and renewable energy assets. The commentary here draws on that work: how landlords and occupiers actually decide, what a funder needs to see, and where a scheme falls over on lease length or roof condition rather than on the technology.

If anything on the site is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will correct it. Figures carry their source and the date we checked them, so you can verify them yourself.
