Solar Photovoltaic

As the UK pushes toward its Net Zero 2050 commitments, more businesses are turning to solar energy, not just to stay compliant, but to drive down costs and increase operational resilience. At APS Consulting, we help you unlock the full financial and environmental value of your roof. In today’s volatile energy market, installing solar isn’t just good for the planet, it’s a strategic business decision. APS Consulting works with a national network of approved solar installers and can bring you sustainable solutions at zero upfront cost.

Why choose APS Consulting?

As independent consultants working with a national installer network, we can support you through your journey to Net Zero by providing you with two quotes for each project, and helping you choose which is right for your business. Once you have chosen your quote we can provide two options for funding, if required. We can also advise on your energy procurement to ensure the right contract is in place and help you to sell your excess energy at the best rates in the marketplace.

BESS – Battery Energy Storage Systems

Store surplus energy from any excess on-site renewable generation and reduce energy expenses by storing excess power from solar and using it during peak demand times.

Reduce dependency on the grid & optimize renewable energy use by storing surplus green power and deploying it when production is low, allowing you to hit your sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions and relying less on fossil fuels from the grid. The combination of solar and battery storage shortens the payback period, providing a higher return on investment compared to solar alone. Alternatively, this is available with no capital expenditure, as fully funded solutions. 

Power Purchase Agreement

PPA models are available from a wide number of providers ensuring that the most appropriate offering for your business is sourced. The cost of the electricity from the PPA tariff is calculated based on the cost of installation, ongoing maintenance and specialist insurance and is not linked to the current energy market. This way the client benefits from significantly reduced electricity bills and carbon emissions with no capital outlay or the responsibility of installing and managing a PV (photovoltaic – AKA Solar) & BESS system. Not only this, but the agreement also provides a predictable electricity cost over the term of the PPA, often ranging from 10 to 25 years.

Energy Procurement Services

Ensuring that not only are energy contracts placed with the most cost-efficient provider, achieving the best possible rates from the energy suppliers, but they are suitable for the requirements of the business and the longer-term intentions of said business. For example, ensuring that if solar is intended to be deployed there are no minimum tolerances within the contract, such as take or pay clauses. With an in house experienced consultant, APS can provide an Energy Procurement service that works with business's looking for ways to save money on their utility bills or to get the right energy plan for their facility and operating schedule. This also includes peer to peer trading.

Automated Demand Response Technology. “Free today – Free forever”

This product is completely free for businesses. The cost is covered of the smart thermostats, installation, maintenance and associated services for every customer. Why? Because the supplier is already paid by the grid network for its contribution to securing stability and energy for the future. This innovative product helps businesses deliver their sustainability goals whilst maximising the value held within existing assets by optimising energy use and minimising waste, significantly lowering operational costs and leading to increased profitability. The Automated Demand Response technology directly contributes to the reliability of the electricity network, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted power supply. This reliability is crucial for businesses that rely on consistent energy to maintain operations and avoid costly downtimes.

Voltage Optimisation

This voltage optimisation fuseboard provides an efficient modern solution for residential properties With interchangeable switchgear, Voltsmart allows flexible customisation to meet specific requirements whether it’s RCDs, AFDDs, RCBOs, or a combination of all. Integrated auto transformer technology reduces energy consumption by optimising incoming voltage, leading to lower electricity bills, reduced carbon emissions and extending the lifespan of electrical appliances. Incorporating up to four integrated fire safety features, for energy efficiency and enhanced safety.

Energy Management System Platform

This platform offers a market-leading solution for managing energy data and ensuring compliance with carbon reporting regulations. By consolidating all energy and water consumption data, as well as CO₂ emissions, into a single, flexible platform, it provides businesses with real-time insights (enabling reduction of energy and water loss with real time alarms) into their environmental impact. The system integrates seamlessly with a range of energy meters and third-party systems, ensuring comprehensive and automated data collection. With the ability to track six key consumption parameters—electricity (including Renewable generation), water, heating, cooling, transport, and waste (Transport and Waste via manual input), the platform enables businesses to streamline carbon accounting and enhance reporting accuracy.

Heat Transfer System

Welcome to the future of heating and cooling efficiency with this Heat Transfer System, a groundbreaking solution designed to optimise fluid dynamics in heating and cooling systems. Our revolutionary self-adhesive, pre-programmed magnetic tape is engineered to significantly reduce fuel usage, lower energy bills & contribute to a cleaner environment. This manufacturer creates products that benefit both the environment and its inhabitants, born from a passion for making greener living accessible to all.

Water Bill Assessment

This unique approach provides the best methods to identify billing discrepancies and ensure only the services used are those billed. Revenue recovery opportunities are identified, cost assurances provided, and ensure only validated bills are eligible to be paid.

LED Lighting

With business’s increasingly pursuing sustainability goals like net zero carbon and zero energy buildings. Through a lighting audit, we recommend fixtures and controls that cut energy use and enhance quality of life. LED lights are a key solution, offering up to 80% energy savings and lasting 15 times longer than traditional options. This longevity reduces costs on materials, installation, maintenance, and replacements, making LEDs the ideal choice for companies aiming for net zero.

Window Insulation Retrofit

The problem – the greatest heat loss of any building is through the windows!! This product is the solution! This insulation works for any window type, age, size or style. The application is fast with minimal disruption and the proven energy saving coating for your existing windows will reduce overheating in summer and retain the heat in winter. It will also block 99% UV light, reduce skin and eye damage and protect your furniture.

Print Solutions

Using a cold technology, no heat is applied during the printing process, our printers and multifunctionals consume much less energy, and therefore create less CO2 emissions than laser-based equipment. A lower TEC value means that a printer is more energy efficient. This printing equipment has amongst the lowest TEC values in the market. The inkjet multifunctionals are made up of fewer internal components than comparable laser printers and multifunctionals. Our ink cartridges need to be changed far less frequently due to their high capacity and the printers contain fewer parts that need to be replaced, with the print heads lasting the lifetime of the printer. This reduces the environmental impact of production, use and recycling.

Waterless Urinals 

This waterless urinal saves money, water and energy and retrofits to existing urinal bowls. The non return valve eliminates odours from waste pipes, there will be reduced blockages, reduce the need for harmful chemicals and no more flooding!

Smart Metering Services

Providing innovative, cost-effective smart metering services. Often the first step in the journey to reduce the “Carbon footprint” of a business is the addition of smart metering.

Additional Services Available
