Why choose solar?
According to SolarPower Europe, solar-powered renewables are the fastest-growing renewable technology, with the global solar capacity now exceeding one Terawatt, and the global solar market doesn’t show any signs of slowing down in growth.
The fast-growing solar market means decreased costs of installation and overall expenses. The IEA reports that solar PV is becoming the lowest-cost option for new electricity generation in most of the world, which is expected to propel investment in the coming years.

Where we work in Solar
Floating photovoltaic (FPV) technology is still in its infancy, so our dedicated renewable energy consultants can work with you to provide market-leading support for your project.
What are ground-mounted solar panels? Ground-mounted solar panels are conventional solar panels installed on frames or poles fixed to the ground and used to support photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation. The systems are either fixed-tilt, with modules arranged in arrays at a constant angle offering stability and ease of installation, or are tracking, where […]
