Delivering a more efficient public sector
Meeting net zero targets
Councils and local authorities have a responsibility to meet their Net Zero targets, and solar panels and heat pumps are crucial technologies in achieving this. By installing these systems, you can significantly reduce your carbon emissions and footprints.
Reducing energy costs
Installing solar panels generates emission-free renewable energy, allowing you to save on rising electricity prices and rely on solar energy to power your buildings. Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating systems, further reducing operational costs.
Minimal disruption to services
Your services are important, and we appreciate that. We’ll always ensure that there is the lowest disruption possible to your school, hospital, or housing and our skilled engineers will keep you informed of actions and timescales.
Commitment to sustainability
By embracing renewable energy, councils can demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability for residents, tenants, and regulatory bodies. This helps build trust and enhances your organisation's reputation.
Energy security and independance
Generating your clean energy reduces reliance on the national grid and fluctuating energy prices, providing greater energy security for your buildings.

Harnessing the power of the sun
Solar PV systems for public sector buildings
The often-underused expansive rooftops of council offices, schools, social housing, and other public sector properties present a significant opportunity for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Solar panels generate clean, renewable electricity, directly contributing to your sustainability goals. Furthermore, integrating solar PV into public infrastructure can enhance energy resilience by reducing reliance on traditional grid sources and providing a tangible demonstration of environmental leadership to the community.
- Installation on all roof types (pitched and flat) and ground-mounted systems.
- Supply of high-quality, certified solar PV panels.
- Expertise in integrating solar battery storage systems to maximise self-consumption.
- Solutions for a range of public sector buildings, including council offices, social housing, schools, and leisure centres.
- Comprehensive service covering design, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance.
Certified and quality tested
Sustainable heating and cooling systems
Energy-efficient heat pump technology for public buildings
For the public sector, heat pumps represent a strategic investment in sustainable infrastructure. By deploying these highly efficient and low-carbon heating and cooling systems in public buildings, schools, and hospitals, governments can significantly reduce their operational energy costs and contribute to national carbon reduction targets. The ability of heat pumps to transfer heat from ambient sources, such as air, ground, or water, provides a reliable and environmentally responsible solution for maintaining comfortable indoor environments in public facilities.
- Air source heat pumps.
- Ground source heat pumps.
- Expert system design tailored to the specific needs of public sector buildings.
- Integration with existing heating and cooling infrastructure.
- Focus on maximising energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.
They did a fantastic job installing our Solar PV system. They worked very hard in really awful weather. We we’re very impressed with the whole job and approach.
