Services
Our main services consist of the following in the fields Solar PV and Heat Pumps, both domestic and commercial, but call to discuss your specific requirements
Expert Witness
On rare occasions, systems go wrong and disputes arise. Whether you’re a contractor, client, or finance company, I can help in the form of site inspection and expert opinion in a CPR35 compliant report.
Project Feasibility
You know your organisation could benefit from Clean Energy but it’s not your day-job. I can help you to develop a project specification, identify / appoint experienced contractors and oversee their delivery.
Technical Due Diligence
When your contractor has completed your project, or the end of their defect liability period is approaching, I can check the system against relevant technical standards before that final sign-off.
