Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency strategies that reduce costs, ensure compliance, and deliver Net Zero

Talk To Us

Experts in Renewable Energy

We help organisations turn energy data, compliance requirements and sustainability targets into funded, deliverable projects.

Net Zero is not only a compliance requirement, it is an engine for growth. The UK has committed to net zero by 2050 under the UK Climate Change Act 2008 and regulation is tightening quickly.

Businesses face increasing pressure from ESOS (the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme), SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards regulations), investor expectations and industry net zero commitments.

Organisations with emission reduction strategies reduce costs, secure funding, increase resilience and become preferred suppliers.

Barton Knight has teamed up with sustainability experts Eqonic Sustainability to support clients from commercial sectors, Local Authorities, Multi-Academy Trusts and housing associations. We deliver end-to-end energy and sustainability strategies by offering:

  • Renewable energy strategy advice– Solar PV, heat pumps and battery storage
  • Energy efficiency advice– Insulation, circular economy and resource efficiency
  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reporting– Scopes 1-3, aligned with GHG Protocol
  • Sustainability and ESG reporting– Including Climate Action Plans for schools.
  • Sustainable funding opportunities– Purchase Power Agreements (PPAs), green bonds, carbon credits

Our approach ensures your organisation not only understands its carbon footprint, but has a clear, commercially viable plan to reduce it.

How does it work?

Step 1

BASELINE AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW. We assess your current position including energy usage and costs; existing infrastructure; your carbon footprint; and compliance requirements (ESOS, SECR, Net Zero targets).

Step 2

CARBON AND ENERGY STRATEGY. We develop a tailored roadmap covering renewable energy opportunities; energy efficiency improvements; measuring and reporting carbon footprint (all Scopes); Climate Action Plans for schools; and decarbonisation strategies.

Step 3

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL MODELLING. We ensure your strategy is deliverable with ROI and payback analysis; funding options; energy cost forecasting; and carbon reduction modelling

Step 4

PROJECT DELIVERY AND ONGOING SUPPORT. We design and install solar PV systems; battery storage solutions; and EV charging infrastructure. We also put into place sustainability and ESG reporting; as well as continuous optimisation and performance.

FAQs for organisations

The UK government has committed nearly £5 billion in funding to help businesses in reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. This covers government grants, tax relief, and specialised green loans, with some examples as follows:

SMEs can apply for Green Business Grants to install technologies that reduce carbon emissions, such as LED lighting and solar PV panels – available until March 2026. The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) can provide up to £15,000 off the cost of installing Electric Vehicle chargers. And local authorities often provide bespoke funding for energy efficiency improvements.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer a “zero-capital” option where a third-party developer installs and maintains renewable equipment (like solar) on your site at no upfront cost, and you buy the electricity at a fixed, discounted rate. 

In addition, many major banks offer loans for sustainable investments (e.g., Lloyds Clean Growth Financing, Barclays Green Loans, NatWest Green Loans) with features like lower interest rates, no arrangement fees, or cashback rewards.

We will review your requirements in detail and conduct a site survey and energy audit to determine the best technology, calculate your energy profile, and assess structural suitability.

Most commercial rooftops, warehouses, and ground-mounted areas are suitable. South-facing roofs offer the highest output, but east/west splits are effective for daytime energy usage.

We aim for minimal disruption, working around business hours if required. A standard commercial installation can take from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the system, scale, and property. 

As an NICEIC Approved Contractor, we are regulated by the UK’s largest voluntary register of electrical businesses, which assesses the installation work of over 36,000 contractors.

We are a verified Constructionline Gold contractor, working to enhanced PAS 91 criteria and validated as ‘Deemed to Satisfy’ for SSIP, meeting pre-qualification standards such as the Common Assessment Standard (CAS). We are a member of the Electrical Contractors Association, and Safe Contractor Approval shows our business is safe, ethical, and financially stable.

We also hold several specific renewable energy accreditations, including MCS certification for small-scale installations (e.g. solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps), membership of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC), and are a Trusted Partner of Octopus Energy.
