OUR STORY

How We Deliver Solar PV Projects

We are a small, specialist delivery team focused on building high‑quality solar PV projects efficiently, safely, and predictably.

Our size is intentional. It allows us to remain closely involved in every project, maintain tight control over cost and programme, and adapt quickly as site conditions, grid requirements, or client priorities evolve.

When supplied with a consented and funded project, we have the capability to deliver up to approximately 15 MW of solar projects per year, using a proven EPC and project‑management framework operating in the south west.

What That Means for Clients

For our clients, this translates into:

  • Direct access to senior decision‑makers, not layers of account management
  • Clear, transparent cost control throughout construction
  • Programmes aligned to real‑world delivery constraints, not generic schedules
  • Practical solutions to grid, civils, procurement, and sequencing challenges

We are not a volume contractor. We take on a limited number of projects each year so that each scheme receives the level of attention required to deliver it properly.

Proven Delivery, Not Theoretical Capacity

Our delivery capability is based on completed projects, not projections.

We have successfully delivered multiple ground‑mounted solar schemes using the same commercial structures, subcontractor network, and delivery controls that we apply today. These projects were executed profitably and with strong alignment between cost, scope, and programme.

The key constraint on delivery is project availability, not internal capacity or systems.

Our Delivery Model

We operate a lightweight EPC and project‑management model designed to minimise fixed overhead and maximise delivery focus:

  • Core project leadership retained in‑house
  • Specialist works delivered by experienced subcontractors
  • Early and ongoing coordination with DNOs, designers, and suppliers
  • Stage payments structured to align with construction progress and risk

This approach allows us to scale delivery up to around 15 MW per year without compromising quality or increasing client risk.

When We Are the Right Fit

We are particularly well‑suited to clients who value:

  • Delivery certainty over headline speed
  • Open, honest communication during construction
  • A collaborative approach to resolving issues as they arise
  • A contractor who remains accountable from mobilisation through to commissioning

We work best with clients who already have:

  • Planning consent (or late‑stage planning),
  • A defined grid strategy,
  • And a clear route to funding.

A Simple Commitment

We take on fewer projects so we can deliver them properly. If you are looking for a delivery partner who will:

  • treat your project as a priority,
  • manage cost and programme proactively,
  • and remain closely involved from start to finish,

we would be pleased to discuss how we can support your scheme.
