Specialist
solar EPC projects

We engineer, procure and construct state-of-the-art commercial and industrial energy plants: rooftop solar, high-voltage battery storage and generator integration, from 66 kWp estate systems to 899 kWp business-park plants.

Full-scope delivery

From first drawing to commissioning

As a national independent power producer and EPC, we take responsibility for every stage of the build.

Engineering

System designs engineered around your load profile.

Procurement

We source the equipment. Our technology partners include Sigenergy, ATESS, SolarEdge and IES.

Construction

Construction managed safely on live commercial sites.

Project management

Each build planned and tracked from start to commissioning.

After commissioning

Still here after handover

We build for our own portfolio first, then deliver the same engineering for customers like Knorr-Bremse and Fresenius Kabi.

  • Owner-operator. We fund, own and maintain many of the plants we build.
  • Backed. 12-month workmanship guarantee, manufacturer warranties and optional service-level agreements.
  • Supported. Installed, commissioned and supported by Northlands.

Own your system

Own it, finance it, lease it, or buy the power

Outright purchase, asset finance, a structured lease (5 to 20 years) or a PPA (10 to 25 years). Pick the model that suits your balance sheet.

Outright cash purchase

Avoid long-term agreements and buy your entire energy system. A renewable energy system is an asset that lasts for decades: complete ownership, straight onto your balance sheet.

  • A 12-month workmanship guarantee, plus full manufacturer warranties on all equipment
  • Optional maintenance plans for the life of the system
  • Ask about buyback if you later want to convert to a PPA

Asset finance

Don’t have the cash? We can help with asset finance. Spread the cost.

  • Repayments to a finance provider
  • Term set with your finance provider
  • The same engineering and support as a cash purchase

Structured lease

Want the plant on your site without the capital outlay? A structured lease gives you fixed monthly payments and predictable costs for the length of the term.

  • Terms from 5 to 20 years
  • Fixed monthly payments, with no capital outlay
  • Optional buyout if you want to own the system

Beyond solar

Batteries, generators & integration

Load shedding does not wait for sunshine. We engineer high-voltage lithium-ion storage (IES batteries with ATESS power conversion, or an integrated Sigenergy system) with diesel generator integration. Our battery platform has evolved to IES, with Sigenergy where its integrated design fits best.

  • Battery systems from 61 kWh to over 2 MWh on a single site
  • Solar, battery, grid and generator designed together
  • Battery sites on our monitoring platform are checked every minute. See Energy Management
Two battery options

Option two is an integrated Sigenergy system, where the hybrid inverter, SigenStack batteries and gateway run as one system.Option 1IES batteries with ATESS power conversionSolarSolarEdge PVATESSConversionIESBatteriesOption 2An integrated Sigenergy systemHybridInverterSigenStackBatteriesGatewayRuns as oneOption 1IES batteries with ATESSpower conversionSolarATESSIESOption 2An integrated SigenergysystemHybrid inverterSigenStack batteriesGateway, as one system

Both are high-voltage lithium-ion storage. We recommend one once we know your site and your load.

Containerised energy

A power station in a 6 m container

Many of our sites run on our containerised energy solution: inverters, high-voltage batteries and controls pre-engineered into a standard 6 m container and tested before it ever reaches your site. We build various sizes and configurations to match your load.

  • Standard 6 m unit: inverters, HV batteries and controls in one enclosure
  • Multiple sizes and configurations available
  • Arrives built and tested, with minimal construction on site
  • Proven across our portfolio: 251 Commercial Park, Verimark, Albertsdal Estate and more

Our standard 6 m containerised unit: a walkthrough on video, and two of our containers on site.

Read a summary of this video

A walkthrough of our standard 6 m containerised unit. An ATESS power conversion system manages the grid supply, how the batteries discharge and how they work with the solar. High-voltage lithium-ion batteries sit inside, and SolarEdge grid-tied inverters are mounted on the side of the container. A distribution point lets the unit work with generators already on site, with smart breaker control. It suits industrial sites, commercial property and residential estates, and comes with full commissioning and an optional service-level agreement. Since this video, our battery platform has evolved to IES, with Sigenergy where its integrated design fits best.
