Renewable energy for commercial & public sector buildings
Many of our projects involve technically challenging sites: listed buildings, conservation areas, complex roof structures, grid connection constraints, or unusually high heat-to-power ratios. These are exactly the kind of projects we are built for.
A complete commercial technology offering
We design systems using whichever technologies, alone or in combination, best suit your project's energy profile and commercial goals.
Commercial Solar PV
From small commercial rooftops to large industrial arrays, sized using site-specific irradiance data and full DC/AC design.
Learn morePV-T Hybrid Systems
Our specialist technology: panels that simultaneously generate electricity and useful heat for buildings with thermal demand.
Learn moreBattery Storage
Commercial battery systems to maximise self-consumption, reduce peak demand charges and provide resilience.
Learn moreCommercial Heat Pumps
Air and ground source heat pump systems, delivering near-zero carbon heating when paired with on-site generation.
Learn moreArchitectural Integration
Practical solutions that protect your design intent. We handle the technical heavy lifting so buildings function properly without sacrificing beauty.
Learn moreMEP Coordination
Built for constructability and labour savings on site, from early advice through to clean, clash-free coordination drawings that make installation fast and trouble-free.

In Use / Aftercare
Every project is different, and Convert Energy has worked across the full spectrum: taking a project from feasibility through to aftercare ourselves, and just as often integrating into someone else's team for specific aspects. We regularly work alongside M&E contractors, principal contractors, principal designers and architects to deliver the parts of a scheme that need our specialist expertise.
Who we work with
Commercial Buildings
Offices, retail, hotels and mixed-use developments, reducing OpEx and meeting sustainability commitments.
Industrial & Warehousing
Large roof areas and high daytime consumption make industrial sites ideal solar hosts with strong returns.
New Build & Developers
Design-stage integration for Part L compliance, EPC improvement and net zero developments.
Education & Public Sector
Schools, councils and public bodies, meeting sustainability targets while reducing energy spend.
Agricultural
Farm buildings and rural sites, often with excellent solar resource and significant thermal demand.
Listed & Heritage Buildings
Specialist experience in conservation areas and listed properties where standard solutions won’t work.
Leisure & Hospitality
Hotels, leisure centres and visitor attractions cutting energy bills while demonstrating sustainability.
Healthcare & Care Sector
High and consistent energy demand with strong sustainability obligations, well suited to integrated systems.
What makes us different for commercial projects
We analyse your actual energy profile, roof geometry, grid connection and financial targets, then design from scratch. No standard packages.
We are not tied to any manufacturer or technology. We select what is right for each project, including PV, PV-T, battery storage, heat pumps and CHP.
We have worked on some of the most technically complex renewable energy projects in the UK, including listed buildings, conservation areas and unusual structural constraints.
Our team have worked at board level for multi-award winning technology companies and understand how to deliver complex projects on time and to budget.
Start a conversation about your project
We provide a detailed technical and commercial assessment for every serious enquiry, at no cost and with no obligation.
