What happens on the visit
- Site walk-around — your car park, neighbouring buildings, sun path, shading factors
- 3D drone survey if site geometry warrants — captures the layout for design
- Structural assessment — ground conditions, existing column positions, services
- Grid connection — your main switchboard, existing capacity, DNO supply point
- EV integration discussion — current/projected workplace EV adoption
- Operations sequencing — how to build without disrupting trading
- Initial Q&A on planning, grants, finance and timeline
What you receive within 5 working days
- Indicative system size (kWp + bay count)
- Capex range (turnkey, no hidden extras)
- Annual generation forecast (kWh, kWh/kWp/yr basis)
- Annual saving forecast (£, based on your stated unit rate)
- Simple + after-AIA payback period
- 25-year NPV at 8% discount rate
- Recommended funding route (capital / PPA / AIA / Salix)
- Planning risk assessment for your specific site
- DNO capacity check (initial G99 readiness)
- Indicative project timeline from sign-off to switch-on
Who attends from your side
Ideally:
- Estates / facilities lead — knows the site
- Finance / procurement lead — owns the buy decision
- Sustainability lead — owns the strategic case
- Optional: M&E consultant if you use one
We can meet with any one of these as a starting point — and arrange a follow-up multi-party meeting before formal commitment.
Cost
Free. The feasibility study and written report are provided at zero cost with no obligation. Roughly 35% of feasibility visits convert to full projects; the remainder use our report internally or pause for budget cycles. Either is fine.
