What we do

We deliver large-scale solar farms and co-located battery storage facilities.

From origination and planning, to funding and securing route-to-market, our integrated team of experts understands and delivers what is required at every step of a project’s journey.
We use our expertise to understand the ins-and-outs of a proposed site and what it takes to turn a development vision into a reality powered by solar energy.

Our team is
  • delivering solar farm projects with minimum delay and maximum efficiency
  • working with landowners to unlock solar value and helping to diversify farming businesses
  • listening to, and working with, local communities
  • promoting domestic energy security through investment in local communities
  • unlocking environmental benefits, enhancements and biodiversity net gain through our projects
  • creating local jobs, and opportunities for suppliers in the community
