Combining renewable energy expertise with deep respect for architectural heritage.
We are a team of solar installation specialists, structural engineers, and heritage consultants who recognized a gap in the renewable energy market. Traditional solar installers often lack the expertise to work with period properties, while conservation professionals rarely have the technical knowledge to assess renewable energy options.
Our founders came together after witnessing too many heritage property owners told that solar simply wasn't an option for their buildings.
We never compromise the architectural integrity of a historic building. If a proposed installation would damage or detract from a property's character, we explore alternatives or recommend against proceeding.
Every project includes detailed structural assessments, load calculations, and weatherproofing analysis. We work only with mounting systems that have been tested on period construction methods.
Our team includes former planning officers who understand what conservation departments require. We prepare applications that address concerns before they're raised.
Solar installations on historic buildings should be reversible and maintainable for decades. We use fixings and materials that won't damage substrate materials and can be removed without trace if needed.
We begin with a site visit to assess the property's condition, roof structure, orientation, and any heritage designations. This includes reviewing original architectural plans when available and consulting local conservation guidelines.
Following the assessment, we develop a proposal that balances energy generation potential with aesthetic and structural considerations. This includes 3D modeling and photomontages showing how the installation will appear from various viewpoints.
Once approved, installation is carried out by technicians trained in working with historic materials and construction methods.
Our team brings together specialists from renewable energy, structural engineering, heritage conservation, and planning consultancy. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to navigate the complex requirements of installing modern technology on protected structures.
We maintain memberships with Historic England, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, and the Renewable Energy Association, ensuring we stay current with both conservation best practices and solar technology developments.
We offer initial consultations to assess whether solar installation is feasible for your building.
