Solar strategy & PPAs for multi-site businesses
One site is a project. Twenty sites is a programme. We help estates build a phased solar and storage rollout that is funded, governed, and ranked by return.
For multi-site operators, solar is no longer a building-by-building decision. It is a portfolio programme that has to fit your CapEx budget, your ESG commitments, and the operational reality of estates that span warehouses, factories, retail parks, distribution hubs, and offices.
We start by ranking every site in the portfolio: roof area and condition, half-hourly load profile, DNO headroom, daytime self-consumption potential, and projected payback. The output is a heat map that tells you which sites pay back in four years and which need battery storage, an export-limited PPA, or simply parking until a roof refurb cycle catches up.
We then layer in the funding mix. High-return, owner-occupied sites usually go on balance sheet to capture full expensing and capital allowances. Leased sites, lower-load sites, or anything where the landlord and tenant split benefits awkwardly typically suit a Power Purchase Agreement. SEG export contracts are negotiated centrally so surplus generation across the estate is monetised at the best wholesale-linked rate.
You end up with a multi-year rollout schedule, a single ESG-reporting framework, and a board-ready business case that shows scope-2 reductions, ROI by site, and the funding route for each phase.
