Feasibility Studies
A commercial solar feasibility study tells you, in plain terms, whether a site is worth developing: roof or land capacity, realistic yield, grid-connection headroom, indicative capex and payback, and the risks that could derail the business case.
Most commercial solar projects fail on one of a handful of issues: the roof can't take the load, the grid connection is full, the yield doesn't justify the capex, or the planning position is weaker than assumed. A feasibility study surfaces those issues at the cheapest possible point — before design fees, before a tender, and long before an installer is on site.
Because we don't sell or install systems, our study can conclude that a site isn't worth developing. That independence is the point: you get an honest read on viability, a specification precise enough for installers to quote against consistently, and a business case that stands up to board scrutiny.
What it delivers
- Desktop and on-site assessment of roof, façade or land capacity, structural loading and shading
- Modelled annual generation for the specific site, orientation and pitch — not a generic per-kWp figure
- Grid-connection and DNO capacity review, flagging any reinforcement cost early
- Indicative capital cost, self-consumption ratio and payback range
- A clear go / no-go recommendation, with the key risks and assumptions stated
Outcomes
- A defensible business case you can take to the board
- Early sight of the grid, structural or planning constraints that quietly kill weak schemes
- A specification precise enough for installers to quote like-for-like
Frequently asked questions
How is a feasibility study different from an installer's free survey?
An installer's survey is a sales step — it assumes you'll buy from them. Our study is independent: we have no system to sell, so the recommendation can be 'don't proceed' where the numbers don't work.
What do you need from us to start?
Ideally your last 12 months of half-hourly electricity data, the site address, and roof or site plans. We can begin a desktop assessment from the address alone and refine it on site.
