Independent · Vendor-neutral · Sussex & the South East

Renewable energy projects that stack up — technically and commercially.

We help Sussex landowners, industrial sites and developers move from idea to energised asset: solar PV, battery storage and grid connections, planned around the numbers that actually decide a project.

What I do

Four disciplines, one line of accountability.

No panels to sell, no EPC to protect. Just independent advice through the parts of a project where the money is won or lost.

01

Solar PV feasibility & delivery

Rooftop and ground-mount, from first yield model to commissioning oversight. Realistic generation, realistic returns.

  • Yield & shading modelling
  • Site selection
  • Business case
  • Contractor oversight
02

Battery storage (BESS)

Sizing and revenue stacking for behind-the-meter and grid-scale. When storage earns its keep — and when it doesn't.

  • Sizing & dispatch
  • Revenue stacking
  • Fire & siting
  • Round-trip economics
03

Grid & DNO connections

The step that quietly kills projects. Capacity strategy, G99 applications and negotiating a connection you can actually build to.

  • Capacity checks
  • G99 / G100
  • Offer appraisal
  • Curtailment risk
04

Net-zero & energy strategy

Decarbonisation roadmaps, PPAs and funding routes — sequenced so each phase pays toward the next rather than sitting as sunk cost.

  • Roadmaps
  • PPA structuring
  • Grant & funding
  • Carbon reporting
How it runs

A sequence, not a sales funnel.

Every engagement moves through the same five stages. You can stop after any one of them — most of the value lands in the first two.

01

Discovery

Site, demand profile, ambition and constraints on the table. A half-day that decides whether there's a project worth having at all.

02

Feasibility

Independent yield, cost and connection modelling. The honest number — payback, IRR and the risks that move it — before a penny is committed.

03

Design & business case

Technical design firmed up, funding and procurement route chosen, and a board-ready case that survives scrutiny.

04

Delivery oversight

Tender, contractor selection and construction watched on your side of the table — protecting the numbers the case was built on.

05

Optimisation

Post-energisation performance checked against model. Storage dispatch, tariffs and export tuned so the asset earns what it promised.

Selected outcomes

Measured in payback, not press releases.

A sample of recent engagements. Figures are the client's, verified against as-built performance.

Manufacturing · rooftop PV
4.9yr

Re-modelled an over-specified 1.2 MWp rooftop scheme down to demand, cutting capital by a third and pulling payback under five years.

West Sussex · 1.2 MWp · 2024
Agri estate · PV + BESS
+38%

Added a 2 MWh battery to an existing solar farm and stacked flexibility revenue, lifting site income well beyond export alone.

East Sussex · 2 MWh · 2023
Cold store · grid strategy
£1.4M

Restructured a stalled connection application, avoiding a reinforcement charge that would have sunk the whole development.

Mid Sussex · 5 MW · 2024

Who you actually work with

Sixteen years in energy, spent on the developer's side and the client's.

We've sat where the risk sits — modelling connections for the distribution network, developing utility-scale solar across the South East, and running energy strategy inside the businesses paying the bills. That mix is the point: we've seen how projects are sold, and how they really perform once the marketing is switched off.

Independent means exactly that. No manufacturer, no installer, no EPC takes a cut of your decision. Our only job is the number that lands in your business case — and whether it holds.
