Solar PV
Transition to clean energy and reduce your carbon footprint with no upfront cost
What a Solar PV Project Covers
From structural survey through to performance monitoring, all under one accountable team.
Commercial Solar Install
Roof-mount and ground-mount arrays sized to your annual consumption profile. Structural and electrical surveys, planning, and DNO applications managed in-house.
Battery Storage
Battery sizing modelled against your consumption profile. Specified where the payback model justifies it, not by default.
Monitoring and Maintenance
Performance monitoring against the design yield. Aftercare contracts and warranty management.
Solar PV for Schools and Multi-Academy Trusts
Schools and trusts approach solar with three constraints: capital budget, planning and structural complexity, and the academic calendar. We work around all three.
We offer comprehensive solar panel solutions for schools, including funding, design, installation, operation, and an education package about energy and sustainability.
Funded delivery through Sustainable Estates Programme removes the capital outlay. We handle DNO and planning in-house. Installation is scheduled to summer holidays where possible and around teaching weeks where not.
We are a fully approved supplier on NEPRO3 (via Bloom Procurement Services), the Constellia Framework, and via Crown Commercial Services. Public sector buyers can procure under direct award without going to open tender.
Solar PV for Commercial and Industrial Estates
ESG reporting, net zero commitments, energy cost reduction, and resilience against grid pricing.
Site or Estate Scale
Single-building installations to multi-site rollouts, co-ordinated centrally with one project team.
Bills Land Lower
Lower bills from the first full billing cycle. ESG metrics shift from the first commissioning date.
Capital-Free Routes
Funded delivery removes the capital question. ESG-aligned. Finance-team-approved.

How a Solar PV Project Works
What our clients say about us
Real results from organisations across education, healthcare, and industry.
Get Started
Sullivan Way Surgery has worked with WN1 on LED lighting, fire protection, emergency lighting, and compliance services. The team are professional, responsive, and reliable, delivering high-quality work with minimal disruption. WN1 are knowledgeable and proactive in maintaining compliance and keeping facilities safe. We would happily recommend them to other healthcare organisations
Since commissioning WN1 for high-quality LED fittings at no upfront cost, Vantage has seen a significant improvement in its lighting system. The upgrade enhances focus and productivity while lowering energy costs and reducing emissions in line with our eco strategy.
St Patrick's Catholic Primary School identified significant cost savings through upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting, funded via a SALIX loan. WN1 conducted a full lighting audit, produced a design and costings at their own risk, and assisted with the SALIX loan application
I have already recommended WN1 to several schools and academies, confident they deliver the first-class service we received. Before switching to LED, we constantly replaced costly fluorescent lamps. The new LED lighting has been a revelation, saving both maintenance time and the cost of replacing multiple fittings.
The work was completed over two days during half term with no disruption to school, delivered as quoted using quality fittings. Post-completion communication was excellent, ensuring we were completely happy.
Working with WN1 has been an absolute pleasure. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and on-time delivery are truly impressive. The process was affordable and well managed, with the team consistently going above and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend WN1 for a reliable, high-quality LED replacement service.
WN1 recently completed an outstanding LED lighting installation at Manor Hall Academy Trust. From the outset, they displayed impressive professionalism and commitment. Their account management team, led by Jon Leggott, stood out for their honesty, passion for energy savings, and willingness to go the extra mile
The service was excellent, Jon attended a governors' meeting to explain the Salix Scheme, queries were responded to swiftly, the timeline was adhered to, and the end result was as promised. I wouldn't hesitate to use WN1 again

Questions
Find answers to common questions about our approach, timescales, and what to expect.
How long does an assessment take?
Every project starts with a free site survey, covering your fittings, energy consumption, and hours of operation. From that we build your saving model and installation plan before you commit to anything. Timing depends on the size of your site, and we'll confirm a date when you book your free audit.
What’s the typical payback period?
There isn't one to wait for. Sustainable Estates Programme means zero up front cost, so you're not recovering capital, you're paying through the saving the project generates. For LED, savings start the day the new fittings are commissioned. For solar, they appear from your first full billing cycle. We model your specific numbers in the free audit, so you see them before you sign.
Do solutions disrupt daily operations?
No. We schedule around your operation, not the other way round. For schools, that's evenings, weekends, and half-terms. For commercial estates, we phase delivery site by site. For NHS and manufacturing sites, we work around clinical or production schedules.
Which sectors do you work with?
Four: Education, Commercial, NHS, and Manufacturing & Industrial. Each has its own procurement route and operational rhythm, and we deliver to fit it.
