Our Renewable Energy Technologies

Futureproof your business with our innovative renewable energy technologies.

From commercial solar panels and heat pump installation to emerging technologies, we help businesses embrace renewable energy sources that will lower carbon footprints and contribute to carbon reduction while also lowering costs and unlocking new revenue streams.

Investment in renewables is increasing month by month, and there has never been a more pertinent time to make the switch.

Along with verified solutions, such as solar PV, we embrace alternative and emerging technologies to stay at the forefront of renewable energy.

Solar, BESS, and Heat Pumps

Solar panels, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and heat pumps remain a specialism of ours. We’ve been implementing these technologies for many years and have a deep understanding of how to optimise them.

We’ve supported businesses across the UK in every step of the renewable energy journey — from consultation and strategy to operation, maintenance, and whole-life contracting.

Solar PV

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels harness the power of the sun and convert it into electricity. As a well-established form of renewable energy, solar PV offers myriad benefits, including:

Falling costs: Solar panels are becoming increasingly affordable to implement and run. Higher efficiency with evolving technology means your business can drive further value from your investment.

Government incentives: Whether you seek funding for solar panel installation or sell power back to the National Grid, incentives are available to make the upfront investment more accessible or help you embrace an ongoing additional revenue stream.

Scalability: We can help develop your solar PV system as your business grows, adding and upgrading your solar panels through our Whole Life Contracting services.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Storing the renewable energy generated by your solar panels or another source allows you to optimise your business’s energy consumption and reduce your reliance on grid power. BESS offers:

Energy resilience: You’ll have backup power in the event of an outage, ensuring your business operations can continue uninterrupted.

Reduced energy costs: Make the most of off-peak electricity by storing energy to use when costs rise.

Heat Pumps

Air-source and ground-source heat pumps each deliver low-carbon heating and cooling solutions. They can support your business by providing:

Cost savings: Heat pump installation can result in up to 400% efficiency compared to traditional gas boilers.

Grants: Financial support, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), can make the initial installation incredibly accessible.

Heating and cooling: With a heat pump, there’s no need to invest in a separate HVAC system. You can benefit from cooling as well as heating to provide energy efficiency all year round.

Alternative Technologies

While solar, BESS, and heat pump technologies are central to our services, we also recognise the value of alternative energy sources and will continue to expand our portfolio to ensure we can provide the most efficient solutions.

The following technologies are market-ready but remain very specialised at the moment. As they become more viable, we will be able to procure, install, and maintain:

Wind Turbines

Wind turbines use rotating blades to capture the wind’s energy and power a generator. Wind power can be a versatile renewable energy source for a variety of businesses.

Hydropower

Hydropower is a valid solution for businesses with access to flowing bodies of water. This energy solution uses the movement of water through turbines.

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is particularly beneficial for businesses involved in industrial processes or transportation systems. It involves converting motion into usable energy.

Biomass solutions

Biomass solutions allow you to convert organic matter into energy. It is suitable for various business types and can simultaneously cut down on waste.

Tidal Power

Tidal power can be a reliable solution for coastal businesses that can benefit from ocean tides and currents.

Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is another versatile renewable energy source for businesses up and down the country. It involves tapping into the Earth's core and can be used for electricity or heating.

Combined heat and power (CHP)

Combined heat and power (CHP) generates electricity through natural gas or biomass and also harnesses the excess heat created. It can be a wise investment for businesses in a range of industries.

Emerging Technologies

The renewables sector moves quickly, and there are some exceptional emerging technologies that can be a valuable step forward for your business. Though they are currently in the early stages and will become available in the medium term, our specialists are ready to become early adopters.

Expect to see these enter the mainstream as customer awareness and demand increases:

Flywheel Energy Storage Systems

A form of generating kinetic energy.

Thermal Energy Storage

This stores energy as heat (molten salt) or cold (ice) for later use.

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)

Excess electricity is used to compress air and store it underground. It can then be released to power turbines when the energy is required again.

Magnetic Energy Storage

Also known as Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage, this involves generating electricity and storing it in a magnetic field that is created by a current circulating in a superconducting coil.

Embrace renewable energy possibilities with SPI

We provide a diverse range of renewable energy solutions to support businesses of all sectors and sizes. By keeping ahead of the game with alternative and emerging technologies, we can provide our clients with the most advanced systems.

We will continue to review and report on all of these technologies through our blog and YouTube channel.
