Now that subsidies for solar parks have all but disappeared, only very large systems, generally more than 50MW, can be financially viable.

However, solar parks are still very viable if a commercial buyer can be found for the power generated, which can then be sold at around 12p/kWh instead of exported at around 5.5p/kWh.

Any landowner with a site near to a large individual consumer should talk to us about the possibility of a “private wire” supply to the energy consumer.
Consumers are keen, as it helps them to secure future energy costs and generally provides power at a lower cost than present grid imports.

Leases for landowners can allow substantially more revenue per acre than is available from farming, and help to secure long term farm incomes in times of uncertainty.

Is your Solar PV working… and is it working properly?
Many solar PV systems, both commercial and domestic, were installed without enough thought about their true value. Looked after properly, solar PV is an asset to any home or business, and will reduce imports of increasingly expensive energy for the foreseeable future.

However, the systems need constant monitoring and annual maintenance.

Best Practices on Solar System Maintenance.
We monitor remotely, we arrange quick response service, we provide annual safety and performance checks to make sure your asset is working . . . and working well.

We can do it all for you, we can work with you, or we can just monitor, and pass the data to you so that your personnel can maintain. We are friendly and flexible whether you have 50kW or 1MW on your roof or your land.

Do you know what your land needs? Have you asked yourself whether you pay for services you don’t need?

Asset management and Maintenance teams are generally composed of highly qualified engineers. Their experience, therefore, does not cover the grass under their feet, the hedgerows or the wildlife. These need very specific skills and a detailed familiarity with the legal framework in respect to land management.

Powersun’s land management team are qualified for the work in hand and able to undertake all aspects of land management advice for solar parks, including for legally required work such as pernicious weed management. With more than 25 years of managing farm and estate land, we have all the required BASIS and FACTS registrations, along with the associated planning and reporting software.

Our aim is to take land management responsibilities, both legal and practical, o the shoulders of asset owners and service providers.

We will keep the O&M provider fully aware of all the requirements, both legal and practical, for the land management aspects, allowing them to concentrate purely on the technical aspects of the installed solar PV systems.
“… delivering an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective service to asset owners and service providers…”
We will undertake physical site surveys and detailed analysis of the Land Environment Management Plan and the planning conditions on each site, to produce a site-specific action plan. This will ensure continued compliance, will demonstrate a commitment to the local community for application of land management best practice, and furthermore provide tangible savings by undertaking specific actions only when needed, and not because it is a contractual requirement.

In addition, Powersun, in coordination with the asset owners and the service provider will carry out follow up visits in order to inspect and report whether the service that was provided was up to standards.

Our complimentary consultancy services will allow asset owners and core service providers to concentrate purely on the economical and technical aspects of installed solar PV farms.
