Solutions & Delivery - Solar Tree - Retail Site

Solutions & Delivery

We manage large-scale, multi-site solar projects with an end-to-end service from UK design to installation, ensuring consistent quality and rapid deployment.

Solar Tree delivers turnkey projects that help clients decarbonise their portfolio with confidence and clarity

Scaling Impact in Partnership

From single sites to nationwide portfolios, Solar Tree provides the mapping, assessment, and strategy you need to unlock the full potential of your assets.

Strategic Mapping & Assessment

We start with a comprehensive review of your sites, combining technical surveys, capacity mapping, operational constraints, and energy demand analysis. This process identifies the most effective delivery model for solar canopy deployment and highlights where the strongest financial, environmental, and operational outcomes can be achieved. Our assessment tools provide clarity from the outset, ensuring your investment is optimised.

Portfolio-Wide Strategy

For clients managing multiple sites — whether retail groups, strategic landlords, or public sector portfolios — we deliver a joined-up approach. This allows you to understand the aggregate benefits of a multi-site rollout, including economies of scale, streamlined planning and delivery, and consolidated performance reporting. By taking a portfolio view, we help you maximise impact while minimising complexity.

Benefits for Landlords & Operators

Our approach ensures that every stakeholder benefits. Landlords can enhance their asset value, secure long-term revenue streams, and strengthen ESG credentials. Operators benefit from immediate energy savings, operational resilience, and a visible commitment to sustainability. Together, these outcomes create a compelling business case that aligns financial performance with environmental leadership.

Future-proofing your portfolio

Solar Tree canopies are more than infrastructure — they are an asset enhancement tool that delivers immediate financial returns while future-proofing your portfolio for the low-carbon economy.

Benefits for Landlords

For landlords, Solar Tree provides a direct uplift in EPC ratings and sustainability credentials, strengthening compliance with tightening UK regulations. By integrating renewable generation into existing sites, landlords can differentiate their assets, reduce void risk, and appeal to ESG-focused tenants. The addition of on-site renewable infrastructure directly increases asset value while improving long-term marketability and client experience.

Benefits for Operators

Operators benefit from immediate energy cost reductions and improved resilience against volatile energy markets. With integrated EV charging, sites can attract new customers, extend dwell times, and generate new revenue streams. Solar Tree systems also reduce operational carbon footprints, supporting brand reputation and helping meet corporate sustainability targets without disrupting day-to-day site use.

Benefits for Investors

For investors, Solar Tree represents a future-proofed, income-generating infrastructure asset with long-term contracted returns. Projects can be financed flexibly, aligning investment with ESG mandates and green finance requirements. The combination of revenue generation, sustainability compliance, and operational performance data creates a strong investment case with measurable impact.

Core Benefits

Lower Energy Costs

Generate on-site renewable power to cut electricity bills and reduce exposure to volatile markets.

Enhanced Asset Value

Improve EPC ratings, strengthen ESG credentials, and future-proof properties against regulation.

New Revenue Streams

Unlock income through EV charging, surplus energy sales, and increased customer attraction.

Visible Sustainability Impact

Demonstrate leadership in decarbonisation with infrastructure that delivers measurable carbon savings.

Standard Car Parks

Most car parks are underutilised spaces, offering little beyond basic parking. They generate no energy, add no financial value, and provide minimal benefit to customers or staff. Unshaded and exposed, they fail to support user comfort during heatwaves or heavy rain, leaving a largely untapped opportunity for owners to deliver more from their assets.

Transformation with Solar Tree

Solar Tree transforms car parks into multi-functional energy and customer hubs. Canopies generate renewable power, cut energy costs, and improve EPC ratings, creating measurable financial and environmental gains for owners. Users and staff benefit from weather protection, with shaded bays during hot summers and shelter in the rain, improving the overall experience. For customers, on-site EV charging and visible sustainability features strengthen brand perception and loyalty. Operators unlock new revenue streams while reducing carbon footprints, aligning with ESG and regulatory demands. Staff and communities enjoy safer, more welcoming spaces. By integrating energy, comfort, and resilience, Solar Tree canopies turn standard car parks into future-proofed assets delivering value on every level.
