The Case for Action

Why smart businesses are
taking control of their energy.

Energy is one of the biggest operating costs for any commercial or industrial business — and it's one of the least predictable. On-site generation changes that. Here's why more businesses are making the move.

01

Slash Your Energy Costs

Grid electricity prices have risen sharply and show no sign of stabilising. Generating your own power — through solar, battery, or CHP — locks in a lower, more predictable cost per kWh, often saving 20–40% on your electricity bill from day one.

02

Hedge Against Volatility

Wholesale energy markets are volatile. Every price spike hits your bottom line. On-site generation and storage insulate you from market swings, giving your finance team the certainty they need to plan ahead.

03

Meet Sustainability Targets

Customers, investors, and regulators increasingly expect real action on carbon. On-site renewables directly reduce your scope 2 emissions and strengthen your ESG reporting with measurable, verifiable impact.

04

Improve Your EPC Rating

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards are tightening. On-site generation improves your building's EPC rating, protecting its market value and ensuring compliance with current and upcoming legislation.

05

Build Energy Resilience

Battery storage and on-site generation reduce your dependence on the National Grid. That means greater resilience during peak demand, grid outages, and supply constraints — keeping your operations running.

06

Unlock New Revenue

Smart Export Guarantee payments, grid flexibility services, and EV charge point income all represent genuine additional revenue streams for businesses that invest in the right assets.

About Beyond Solar

Your independent
energy partner.

Beyond Solar is a clean energy advisory based in Oxfordshire. We help UK commercial and industrial businesses navigate the full journey to on-site energy generation — from early-stage scoping and grid connection through to system design, funding, and installation.

We're independent, which means we're not tied to a single installer, funder, or technology. Whether you need solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, or CHP — and whether you want to pay directly, access asset finance, or go fully funded — we find the right solution for your building and your business.

Independent Advice

No ties to any single installer, funder, or technology. Pure advisory — your interests first.

UK Commercial & Industrial

Deep experience across manufacturing, logistics, retail, agriculture, and multi-site businesses.

End-to-End Delivery

From grid connection applications to commissioning day — we manage the whole process.

Our Solutions

The right technology
for your site.

We work across the full range of commercial energy technologies — and we help you understand which combination delivers the best return for your specific situation.

Solar PV

Rooftop and ground-mount solar for commercial, industrial, and agricultural sites. We handle everything from initial feasibility and DNO applications through to a fully commissioned, generating system.

Battery Storage

Store excess generation, reduce peak demand charges, and increase self-consumption. Battery systems work alongside solar or as standalone assets to give you greater control over your energy costs.

EV Charging

Workplace and commercial EV charge point infrastructure. We help you plan, install, and manage charging solutions — whether for your own fleet, your employees, or as a revenue stream.

CHP

Combined heat and power for businesses with high thermal demand. Generate electricity and usable heat simultaneously, cutting energy waste and delivering significant cost savings.

Funding Options

Your project, your way.

Fully Funded (PPA)

We source the funding. You pay nothing upfront — just a fixed rate per kWh for the energy your system generates, set below your current grid price.

Asset Finance

Access financing while retaining ownership of the asset. Spread the cost, keep the long-term value, and benefit from the returns on your investment.

Direct Purchase

Buy your system outright. We handle the scoping, design, grid connection, and installation — you own the asset from day one and keep 100% of the savings.

How It Works

From first conversation
to generating energy.

We manage the complexity so you don't have to. Here's how a typical project comes together.

1

Scoping & Assessment

We start with your energy data, site details, and goals. We assess what technologies and funding models make sense for your specific situation.

2

Design & Proposal

We produce a bespoke system design with projected savings and a clear funding structure — whether that's a PPA, asset finance, or direct purchase.

3

Grid & Planning

We handle DNO applications, grid connection agreements, and any planning requirements. This is often the most complex part — and it's where our experience counts.

4

Installation & Go-Live

Our accredited installation partners deliver the build. We manage the process, commission the system, and hand over a generating asset.

Day-One Savings

Whether through a lower PPA rate, reduced peak demand, or generating your own power — our solutions are designed to save you money from the moment they go live.

Multi-Technology Expertise

Solar, battery, EV, CHP — we don't just do one thing. We look at your whole energy picture and recommend the combination that delivers the best outcome.
