Commercial Solar Energy Solutions

Helping organisations reduce energy costs, strengthen energy resilience and support long-term sustainability objectives through tailored solar solutions that align with operational requirements and wider energy management strategies.

End-to-End Solar Support For Organisations

At BP Consulting, we provide comprehensive support at every stage of the solar journey, from early feasibility assessments through to installation and ongoing performance review. We work closely with organisations to understand their energy usage, operational requirements and long-term objectives, ensuring solar solutions are practical, compliant and aligned with wider energy strategies.

Reduced Energy Costs and Resilience

Generating electricity on-site can significantly reduce reliance on grid power and exposure to wholesale market volatility. Over time, this supports more predictable energy costs and improves long-term financial planning and enhances resilience by reducing dependence on a single source.

Progress Towards Net Zero Targets

Solar power directly supports decarbonisation by reducing reliance on fossil fuel-generated electricity. This can contribute to progress against sustainability targets and support credible net zero strategies as well as improving ESG and CSR.

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

Where generation exceeds on-site demand, surplus electricity can be exported to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee. This allows organisations to receive payments for exported energy, creating an additional revenue stream and improving overall project returns.

The Benefits of Solar Energy

Solar power can deliver meaningful value for organisations when it is designed around operational demand, site suitability and wider energy objectives. By generating electricity on-site, organisations can reduce grid dependence, improve cost predictability and strengthen resilience against market volatility.

Solar Funding Options

PPA's

Power Purchase Agreements (PPA's) are where a third party funds and owns the solar installation, and your organisation purchases the electricity generated at an agreed rate, typically below standard grid pricing. This option is well suited to organisations that want to avoid upfront capital expenditure and have a consistent level of electricity demand (often 50,000 kWh+ per year).

Asset Management

Your organisation leases or invests in solar assets while a specialist provider manages performance monitoring and maintenance. This model is suitable for organisations that want the benefits of solar investment without the operational burden of day-to-day system management.

Hire Purchase Agreement

The cost of installation is spread over an agreed term, supporting cash flow while allowing your organisation to benefit from on-site generation and reduced electricity costs from day one. This option is often appropriate for organisations with higher annual electricity consumption (commonly 75,000–100,000 kWh) that want a structured route to ownership.

Business Loans

A tailored business loan can fund the installation and associated works, enabling your organisation to own the solar system from the outset while spreading repayments over an agreed term. This approach provides clear ownership and control over the asset and its performance, with savings from on-site generation helping to offset financing costs over time.

Enhancing Solar Performance and Long-Term Value

To deliver sustained value, solar installations must be supported by the right infrastructure and ongoing oversight. Beyond initial system design and installation, factors such as energy storage and long-term performance management play an important role in ensuring solar assets continue to meet operational, financial and sustainability objectives over time.

Battery Storage Solutions

Battery storage enables organisations to store surplus solar electricity and use it later, rather than exporting it to the grid. This can increase on-site consumption, reduce imported electricity and improve cost efficiency, particularly when demand extends beyond daylight hours. When appropriately sized, storage can also add flexibility and support resilience by helping manage peaks in demand. BP Consulting assesses suitability based on usage patterns, operational needs and long-term energy objectives.

Solar Panel Operations and Maintenance

Operations and maintenance help ensure solar systems continue to perform reliably over their operational life. Monitoring, inspections and planned maintenance can identify issues early, reduce downtime and keep performance aligned with expectations. BP Consulting supports organisations by reviewing outputs, overseeing maintenance arrangements and helping protect long-term system performance as part of a wider energy management approach.

Unsure if Solar is Right For Your Organisation?

We work with organisations to assess whether solar is a suitable fit for their operations. Through a review of energy usage, site characteristics and budget considerations, we help organisations understand the benefits, limitations and risks before any commitment is made.

Whether you’re at an early stage or reviewing a specific solar opportunity, our team can provide clear guidance to support informed decision-making. Speak to our energy experts today to discuss your organisation’s requirements and explore whether solar could form part of your wider energy management strategy.
