Commercial rooftop solar PV installation by InspireGreen at Vision Court business park, Cardiff — multi-building renewable energy for office and serviced workspace tenants.

EV charging installation at a commercial development, with cycle shelter and landscaping in place.

Specified at design, installed alongside the build

Renewable energy works differently for developers than for operators. Solar PV, EV charging and battery storage get specified into the design, costed into the build, and installed alongside the structure rather than bolted onto a finished property. The result is tighter integration, cleaner installation, and a unit that's compliant and competitive from day one.

Building regulations now require more renewable energy on new developments than ever before, and the direction of travel is one way. Buyers and tenants increasingly expect to see solar, charging and credible energy performance as standard, not as an upgrade. Solar PV, EV charging, battery storage and LED lighting designed into the build from the start meet today's requirements.

Solar PV

Solar PV designed into residential developments, mixed-use schemes, build-to-rent blocks, social housing and commercial new builds. In-roof and on-roof systems sized to the build programme and unit specifications, ready for Future Homes Standard, Part L and the wider compliance landscape.

Why developers invest in renewable energy

For property and development businesses, renewable energy is part of the specification, not a discretionary add-on. It meets the regulations the development needs to pass, lifts the value of every unit being sold or let, and signals the sustainability buyers, tenants and planners increasingly require.

Compliance designed in, not retrofitted

Building regulations on new developments now require more renewable energy than ever before. Designing solar PV, EV charging, battery storage and LED lighting in from the start meets today's regulations cleanly and leaves headroom for what's coming, without late-stage redesigns, planning conditions discharged in a scramble, or compliance gaps surfacing at sign-off.

Units that sell and let faster

Buyers and tenants increasingly expect to see solar, EV charging and credible energy performance as standard on modern developments, not as an optional upgrade. Units with these features built in attract more interest at viewing stage and move through the sales or letting programme noticeably faster than equivalent units on the same scheme without them.

Cleaner integration on site

Solar PV, EV charging, battery storage and LED lighting designed into the build from the start, with mechanical and electrical alongside the structural work all installed together as part of the design. No retrofitting onto finished roofs or cable routing through completed walls. Cleaner site coordination, fewer change orders, tighter delivery on programme.

EPC ratings that lift the development's value

Lenders, buyers and BTR investors all increasingly assess EPC ratings before committing capital, with higher bands attracting better mortgage rates, more buyer interest and more competitive funding terms. Solar PV, battery storage and energy-efficient lighting lift the EPC band of every unit on the development.

Lower running costs on retained assets

Developers retaining freehold on BTR, mixed-use or commercial schemes pay communal lighting, EV charging and shared infrastructure costs for the full lifetime of the asset. Designed-in renewable energy cuts those running costs across every year of retained ownership, reducing service charge exposure, protecting net operating income and safeguarding long-term returns.

One installer, four technologies, one accountability

Specifying solar PV, EV charging, battery storage and LED lighting through one installer means single-point accountability across four trades. One design, one quote, one commissioning programme, one handover document and one number to call when something needs attention three years in.

We recently had a 89kWH system installation and Inspire Green were absolutely fantastic, from start to finish. They were instrumental and flexible with the design of the system to best suit our business needs and our factory inftrastrure, install disruption was minimal, communication was fantastic throughout and we're delighted with the operation of speed and quality of the installation and system.

We had a wonderful service from the team at Inspire Green. They made the whole process very simple. They explained the options clearly and helped us make the right decisions for our building - which is a Grade 2 listed building, and our organisation, which is a charity. The installation team were brilliant and we hardly knew they were here. We are delighted with our new solar panels and would highly recommend Inspire Green to anyone considering a solar panel installation.
