FREE RENEWABLE ENERGY

COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PV DRIVING DOWN BUSINESS FUEL BILLS

“financing the greener future of the UK”

Every hour enough solar energy reaches the earth to meet the world’s

energy needs for a full year. If only we could start to harness more of the

suns energy and use less of the worlds limited natural resources, the

better the world would be.

As a result of the Governments renewable energy strategy, UK builders

through strict building regulations are constructing new factories, offices

and warehouses which have the ability to generate a proportion of the

energy they consume from renewable sources. Local authorities set firm

criteria and enforce this through the planning approval process and

BREEAM regulations. Business owners are making the investment to

install systems retrospectively; the result is frequently that solar PV is the

most practical and cost effective option for micro-generation and the only

one that can be rolled out at scale.

We are committed to making as big a contribution as possible towards

protecting the worlds energy resources. The installation of PV systems on

new build commercial property has become reasonably commonplace.

However, we are working closely with a number of the UK’s largest groups

to meet their renewable energy requirements through the installation of

solar systems on their existing buildings. We expect to have installed more

that 20MWs of solar PV by the end of 2015, whilst at the same time

completing over 6000 social housing PV installations.

By getting involved in this investment opportunity you will be

assisting us in financing the greener future of the UK through the

continuation of one of the first rooftop lease initiatives.

We do hope that you will share the benefits of our experience in the

renewable industry and we very much look forward to this being another of

many more similar opportunities in both small and large scale solar

investment.

DOES MY BUSINESS QUALIFY FOR A

FREE GREEN INVESTMENT?

All qualifications are subject to:

Site Survey

Cost Evaluation (DNO Approval)

Planning Approval (were required)

DO I OWN A COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE?

You can still qualify for Green Energy Investment Fund if you lease your premises as long as you can obtain the owners consent.

DO I HAVE A SUITABLE ROOF?

Your roof must face between East - South - West. You require a roof area that is capable of withstanding extra load (structural survey provided)

DO I USE A LARGE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS?

The more you use the more you save.

WOULD THIS DISRUPT THE DAY TO DAY RUNNING OF MY BUSINESS?

All of our installations are scheduled to suit your day-to-day operation. With 80% of the work carried out on the roof little is ever seen or heard of our Installers. Solarking guarantee to have no electricity down time throughout the entire project.’

Once operational, you will be issued with a commissioning pack. You will also have online anytime access to SolarKing Connect, where you can monitor the output of the system and access other documents.

Our energy PPA is an easy way of converting your business to a low cost clean electricity supply that offers no up-front cost incurred by you.

We install, own and maintain the system on your roof for free; you will only pay for the electricity you use each month, at an agreed rate per kWh. Any electricity you don’t consume we sell into the grid.

Green Energy PPA works in parallel with your existing electricity supply arrangement - there is no need to change anything as you will continue to buy electricity above what the solar system supplies to you.

The Green Energy PPA term is 25 years; after this period the solar system becomes the property of the owner of the building. Alternatively you can choose to extend your Green Energy PPA and we will remove it at the end of the extended term.

Working with us means that you only ever have one company to deal with throughout the life of the projects, from development and construction through to operations and maintenance.

We take care of all development aspects of the project, including any planning permission requirements and authorisations from your utility company.

HOW DO WE DO IT

UNDER THE GREEN ENERGY PPA WE GUARANTEE:

To insure, maintain, and repair the system at no cost to you throughout the term.

The system’s electricity production throughout the term.

To repair your roof if the system causes any damage or leaks.

The system will become the property of the owner of the building.

INCENTIVES AND REDUCED ENERGY BILLS

TYPICAL EXAMPLE GETTING THE JOB DONE

The initial survey confirmed that the

building orientation was ideally situated

with a south facing roof and that it

could potentially accommodate an

array of approximately 100kWh.

With an agreement in principle the de-

tailed designs and fixed costs could

begin.

FREE SURVEY FREE DESIGN Detailed design works were carried out by SolarKing Commercial

technicians and covered the following items

Site and Workface access survey.

Structural and Stress analysis survey.

Planning and Lawful development applications.

DNO (Distribution Network Operator consultation and

mitigation.

PV Sol performance and ROI reports

SolarKing Commercial’s installation and project management team completed the 100kWh installation within

3 weeks including connection to the grid and commissioning. The work was carried out during operational

hours with zero down time to staff and operations. Effective project and man management enabled the

Installation commissioning, DNO grid connection, witness testing and final handover to happen on time and

on budget.

CASE STUDY COMMERCIAL

Home Farm Lathom, Lancashire Home Farm is an expanding dairy farm in Lancashire which was planning to build a new state

of the art milking shed to accommodate their growing dairy herd.

The cost of energy was a key consideration for farmer Richard Corlett, as he explains:

Rothwell Mushroom Farm Ormskirk, Lancashire

“After deciding to increase my dairy herd from 80 to 150 cows, it was imperative that the business considered the impact

of the corresponding increase in energy consumption and cost. Having looked at various renewable technologies, Solar

PV stood out as the most beneficial for my business and produced the best long-term investment. After sourcing a few

quotations, I decided to place an order with SolarKing, as I was impressed with the quality of their product, the level of

service they offer, which was more than very competitive.

The 50Kwp installation went very smoothly, despite severe weather conditions and the team did a great job which I was

more than satisfied with. The SolarKing Commercial team also delivered on their promise to provide a fully managed,

end-to-end service by dealing with the grid operator on my behalf and they even helped me to register the system for the

Feed-in Tariff with my supplier on completion of the installation.”

The business process is a major consumer of electricity, having a base

load rating of over 240kW. This prompted a thorough review of renewable

energy options to reduce the increasing energy costs. One of the

decisions taken was to install a 50kW solar PV array on a concrete base

ground mount system to generate electricity.

Solarking Commercial was chosen to supply and install this system with a

brief to get the system installed before a deadline. The total end to end

approach supplied by Solarking Commercial where every aspect of the

project is planned and executed by our experienced and professional

personnel. The installation was up and working 2 weeks ahead of sched-

ule which delighted the Directors of Rothwell’s.

“We were delighted with the thorough and professional approach of Solarking Commercial on this key project. We had set them a difficult task

in terms of timescale and by changing the site of the installation part way through the planning and design stage. Solarking Commercial coped

with all this and the most appalling weather conditions, to deliver a perfect installation, ahead of schedule which meant we could achieve the

higher Feed in Tariff. We would have no hesitation recommending any business to work with Solarking Commercial.”
